It largely depends on how you define left and right. If you define them purely in economic policy then yeah it's not a left or right thing.

Fascism lands somewhere in the middle economically. Socially it is completely conservative. And while the focus is on the collective, its goal is to bring out the best in the individual.

@WhiteTemplar @matrix @Lucidael

Economically it was centralized control, more similar to modern day PRC. Socially it wasn't exactly that different from other systems.

It certainly wasn't conservative in the sense that it wanted to return to or even preserve the past. It was simply an alternate way forward to progress.

@LoliHat @matrix @Lucidael
You don't understand what progressive or conservative means in respect to social issues I see.

And okay, then the PRC is also in the middle of the road economically.

@WhiteTemplar @matrix @Lucidael

“Conservative” and “Progressive” are relative terms, and must be understood not with separate “social/economic” axes, but as an overarching worldview and set of mores.

When fascism was created and implemented, everyone was conservative socially (from a modern point of view) aside from the usual outliers.

A “traditionalist” is not a fascist, and visa vera. Fascism was not only a rejection of the past and thus a rejection of what it conserved, but also a rejection of alternate replacements to it.

Fascism is inherently anti-conservative.
