I did some reading, it seems I had a misunderstanding of some of the finer details. Perhaps authoritarian or totalitarianism are better terms? I’m not sure, but regardless, I fail to see how many of the tactics of fascism couldn’t be employed by the political left, which I guess is the point I was originally getting at.
Leftism overtly opposes the tools of fascism: sexism, racism, imperialism, nationalism, etc.
Maybe you should more reading before posting about this topic.
Except left-wing nationalism is a thing that exists. And those aren’t the only tools of fascism. Fascists are known to control mass media, but thats not inherently a right wing thing. Corruption and cronyism aren’t mutually exclusive to the right. Military supremacy isn’t inherently right wing. What am I missing here?
If the left employed fascist tactics then they stop being the left.
So communist governments that have used media control, militarism, cronyism, violated human rights, etc., aren’t left-wing?
No, they’re state capitalist.
So communist governments have never existed?
