In that regard then you're a true individual and an authoritarian will not accept you.
Be careful in this climate man!
Fascism IS an ideology of the left!
This is NOT a conservative opinion, but a thinly veiled leftist tactic.
The left has more in common with fascism than they like to admit.
But fascism, at least to an American standard, IS on the left.
Our left is another countries right, there is that....
This isn't a left vs right issue!

I try to stay consistant all the time. I will always argue on the side of the Constitution, more freedoms, more liberties.
This is why I love you, man (in a platonic, non-gay way).
No homo.

I think we're all a little bit disappointed.
I was looking forward to shopping for a new hat!

Fascism and Nazism are both phenomena of the left. This makes ideological sense, because at their core they represent ideologies of the centralized, all-powerful state. Moreover, fascism grew out of Marxism, and fascism’s founder Benito Mussolini, was a Marxist and lifelong socialist. Hitler, too, was a socialist who headed the National Socialist Party and in fact changed the name of the German Workers Party to make it the National Socialist German Workers Party.
How, then, did progressives in America re-define fascism and Nazism as phenomena of the right? This sleight-of-hand occurred after World War II, once fascism and Nazism were discredited with the reputation of Holocaust. Then progressives recognized it was important to cover up the leftist roots of fascism and Nazism and to move them from the left-wing column into the right-wing column.
The man most responsible for the progressive redefinition of fascism is Theodor Adorno, a German Marxist intellectual and a member of the influential Institute for Social Research, otherwise known as the Frankfurt School. The Frankfurt School scholars were leftists and most of them were refugees from Nazi Germany. Some settled in Europe; others like Adorno and Herbert Marcuse came to the United States.
