From Conservapedia:
Fascism is a totalitarian economic and political ideology that arose in early twentieth-century Europe and came to dominate the social and political systems of Italy under Benito Mussolini and Germany under Adolf Hitler. The last fascist regime, that of Francisco Franco in Spain, came to an end in 1975.
Characteristics of fascism include a belief that the state is more important than the individual; a leaning towards authoritarian government and violence; preference for centralized economic planning; an emphasis on nationalism and national traditions; militarism; information control and censorship; media propagation of the Great Leader which demonizes and trivializes his critics; and a rejection of both free enterprise and Socialism in favor of corporatist economic policies.
Rightardia has always stated that fascism and corporatism are synonymous. Conservapedia agrees. Fascism fits on the right wing political spectrum. It was a right wing reaction to socialism in Germany and in Eastern Europe. We don't understand how Conservapedia was able to separate corporatism from free enterprise.
Fascism arose in Germany because the German Social Democrats and the Communists were unable to work together and form a coaltion.
Ever since President Obama was elected, the right wing has called Obama a fascist and a socialist and compared him to Hitler. This indicates the right wing has had a confusing view of American politics.
