    No, it’s in principle undetermined in ideology. Historical ones, even Stalin or Pol Pot variants, were rather right wing. But the only principles really important for any kind of fascism are violence, anti-rationalism and amorphous ideology.

    EDIT: What I mean is that fascism is that “third way”, not left-wing or right-wing. And has made situational alliances with things from both. That was its main difference from old conservatives in the beginning of XX century.

      Oh, the historical fascisms such as under Stalin and Pol Pot, right.

      it’s in principle undetermined in ideology

      Correct in so far, as it‘s determined by economic system. Which happens to align with left/right ideology.

      But the only principles really important for any kind of fascism are violence, anti-rationalism and amorphous ideology.

      You’re making shit up depending on how your tummy feels, don‘t you?

      Please stop using the internet.

      No it’s not entirely clearly defined. But a few elements appear in all of them: Anti- communism/socialism, dictator, far-right idiologies, nationalism…

      I wouldn’t say any if these are desired by leftism, or rather opposites.
