Fascism, and by extension Nazism, are clearly right wing philosophies.
They cannot be characterized as being "liberal" by any stretch of the
imagination.

At least that is how the left thinks of it.

Nope. That's how the dictionary thinks of it.



Fascism comes in a number of flavors, but the key elements a

An authoritarian power structure
A collectivist economy (either socialism or feudalism will do)
Expansionist foreign policy
A central ethnic, religious or nationalist identity

The first two elements require supremacy of the collective over the individual,
which is why fascist regimes rise from democracies but not from republics. The
the extent we stray from our Constitutional Republic toward a democracy, we
risk becoming a fascist state.
