Why is everything rightwing called fascist nowadays?

why is everything rightwing called fascist nowadays?
is it because the more and more radical/commie left wants to restore the binary think of the Weimar Replublic?

...

What I don't understand is why fascism is right wing. If anything, it seems more left.

oy vey

but it can't be left because fascism is evil but left is good

Maybe it comes from Russia. Everything disliked group/foreign country/behaviour/enemy of Putin/whatever is called fascist, even left ones. It's crazy and independent from its original meaning.

The left is trying to demonize the right as hard as they can, and the hardest they can go is calling the right "literally hitler"

why don't we call em "literally stalin/mao" then?
oh wait no one knows about their atrocities in todays (((education)))

Because the left are commies who idolize stalin and mao so it would be a compliment

>why don't we call em "literally stalin/mao" then?
Obviously because the rights refer themself to Hitler and condemn Stalin and Hitler...?

...condemn Stalin and Mao, of course.

I cringe every time someone calls the Nazis or Hitler right wing. The clue is in the name, National Socialism. Every economic and social policy Hitler enacted was left wing.
The greatest trick the left ever pulled of was getting the general population to associate the phrase "right wing" with authoritarian and racist.
Right leaning politics emphasise social conservatism, personal freedom and free market economics. Anything else is projection from lefties.

have some shekels and forget that train of thought, goy

Fascism is poorly defined. It's generally authoritarian and communism generally is as well. On the whole the right wing is far more authoritarian than the left (modern right wing parties are actually left wing, just not as left as socialism/ communism. Right wing politics has largely passed the overton window in the west)

In reality leftists like to obfuscate words by using them improperly so them lose their meaning and become nothing but buzzwords.

Labor as the source of value is right wing, as is morality based economics. Communism is technically a centrist economic position as it denies the former and endorses the latter (even if the latter is actually immoral)

>personal freedom and free market economics

What you think is right wing is very left wing. Probably some dumb american.

Look up the history of the term left and right wing It isn't relative to what's popular at the time.

it's purely semantics. Call it fascism, ethno-nationalism, white supremacy, the alt-right, nazism, right wing extremism.

At the end of the day it's just labels to drive the divide and conquer strategy; Pitch people into certain camps, force them oppose people who might otherwise be their allies against the elites. Leave the poor majority bitter and divided, consolidate your power and watch the peasants fight amongst each other.

>I cringe every time someone calls the Nazis or Hitler right wing

The nazis, although economically left wing, are considered right wing because they reject the ideals that classic liberalists on the left champion; equality, inclusiveness, personal liberty and the abolition of a hierarchical elite.

>The clue is in the name, National Socialism

a name means nothing. it's just branding. For example The World Series Baseball Finals is despite the name a purely american affair. The nazis branded themselves National Socialist Workers Party to appeal to the working class, despite being a purely totalitarian party.

>Every economic and social policy Hitler enacted was left wing.

Having a police state that detained and executed political dissenters is hardly a left wing ideal, as the left is notoriously all about personal liberty and freedom of thought.

>The greatest trick the left ever pulled of was getting the general population to associate the phrase "right wing" with authoritarian and racist.

Blame Hitler. Had he not been such a totalitarian people wouldn't need to draw parallels with the extreme right and totalitarianism. But yeah, those pesky left wing nutters aren't keen on letting people forgetting it either, you are right

>Right leaning politics emphasise social conservatism

yes

>personal freedom

not really. You are thinking of the Centre Right or Liberal Conservatism

>free market economics
again, see above

>Anything else is projection

or strawmanning i suppose. Which both sides do.

All the time

No, what you define as right is two centuries old. Modern right leaning parties are generally, proponents of free markets and individual freedom. Left wing parties favour government control and regulation.

Because they say stuff like "I'm not racist, I just hate all the niggers, spics, jews, chinks, mudslimes, and other subhumans, and think they should all be hanged or shot." and "I'm not a Nazi, I just think there's a Jewish conspiracy against the white man, Hitler did nothing wrong, we should exterminate all the Jews and non-Aryan. I wave the Nazi flag, and do the salute, but I'm not a Nazi, but everything would be better if everything was like Nazi Germany. Sieg Heil!"

You know, you saying you're not a Nazi isn't all that convincing when you add all the other stuff, and shout Nazi slogans at the same time. It's just doublespeak.

Nationalistic socialism is different from Marxism or Communism. It implies draconian control, direct and martial control. Whatever you call the Trump regime will be fought. They push, public pushes back.

>Left wing parties favour government control and regulation.

they favour regulation against corporate interests that jeapordizes or infringes on individual liberties.

Despite what the right claims, corporations are not people

which is what the nazi modus operandi has been for decades

>what I define as right

No that is the definition of right wing your dumb retard. "modern right leaning parties" are left wing, they just aren't as far left as some other parties.

As I said it isn't relative to what politics are popular. Left wing views are not "right wing" when compared to views that are further left.

Right wing politics has passed the overton window in the west, because the west is full of libtards and has been for half a millennium.

Being racist, even a genocidal racist doesn't make you a nazi, nor does thinking hitler did nothing wrong.

The ideology isn't as shallow as that.

Is there really any point to distinguish them when they agree on everything? Sure, Al Qaida and ISIS aren't the same group, but their goals and ideals are identical. Who gives a shit if they disagree what slogan to shout when they decapitate people?

If someone agree with and fight for everything Nazis do, and still say they're not Nazis, they're just closet-Nazis, and making a distinction is pointless.

>"I'm not the toe collecting type of serial killer, I'm the ear collecting type. I don't like being lumped into the same category as the toe freaks. I'm offended, it's discriminating."
Yeah, I'm not going to respect that insignificant difference.

People don't understand that National Socialists is an actual political system not just hating jews and thinking whites are superior.

Socialism*

so what else do the nazis stand for? A strong family unit, despite splitting the family unit up through government work and youth programs ultiamtely designed to shape people's loyalties to the state?

Strength through unity, despite splitting society up into desireables and undesireables and then capitalizing on people's prejudices against their fellow man (and a liberal application of state sanctioned propaganda) to detain and execute those undesireables that may or may not include political dissenters, radicals and free thinkers?

Self sufficiency, i.e. the quest for Lebensraum? I.e.The elimination and relocation of the natives of the east because they were inferior to the germans who needed a reliable source of food for the wars to come? No racial motivation there, just the need to conquer slav lands and expel and/or execute the slavs living there.

What does the tenets of National Socialism have to give us in this day and age? sexy Boss uniforms? State-run brothels? A paramilitary Boy Scout organization, ready to defend the fatherland against the enemy within and without, even if it means reporting on their parents for unpatriotic thoughts and ideas?

Al Qaida and ISIS hate each other though. They disagree on a lot, the main thing being that Al Qaida wants to cut off the heads of western imperialists and Isis wants to cut off the heads of muslim apostates as well as western imperialists.

Still, I see your point though

>Having a police state that detained and executed political dissenters is hardly a left wing ideal, as the left is notoriously all about personal liberty and freedom of thought.
lets check... north korea ? police state firmly left wing communist
soviet union? police state firmly left wing communist
maos china? firmly left wing communist

do you see a trend here? somehow every hardcore socialist regime turns into a police state also personal liberty has ZERO to do with the left wing ideology they are all for preventing free speech and personal liberty as to not offend the collective.

liberalism is also not inherently left wing infact classical liberalism is closer to a right wing perspective if anything especially by todays standards.

again this is a common occurence in any left wing socialist regime east germany , china , soviet union etc etc . just because its not an "ideal" doesnt mean it wasnt routinely happening in left wing regimes all across the globe.
