Fascism finds its breath through voter apathy and resulting extremism, and often creeps in incrementally. If you were to Google "The Thirteen Characteristics Of Fascism", you will understand why and how.

Fascism is am economic model whereby the government decides who owns and runs businesses. Google Nazi Germany.

I don't think you understand what right and left wing means. It's based on how much power you think the government should have over the economy. It goes (from most to least)
Communism->Fascism->Socialism--------------->Capitalism->Free Market->Anarchy

Communism- The government controls all business
Fascism- The government routinely gives businesses to those of hits party
Socialism- The government directly controls some business. There is a wide range for socialism based on how much the government controls. Canada (Socialized Medicine) all the way to Venezuela (where the nations biggest export is controlled by the government). Technically the US has been a light version of socialism for nearly a century
Capitalism- The government regulates businesses but does not directly control them.
Free Market- Caveat Emptor
Anarchy- There is no government, and so zero governmental control over the economy at all.

Naah, mate, I do. Either I live or lived through those, or my parents did. No little "Alt Right Revisionist Bullshit For Idiots" how-to guide defintions required on this end.

Did you know that the purpose of Goverment IS Socialism? Missed that chapter, huh? You really didn't build that.

You little sad saps are just two halves of the same team nipping at each other while those that own your silly asses golf away and laugh.

The purpose of government, at its core is to protect and provide a growth environment for an economy. All laws common to societies can be traced back to this.

No, goverment is a protection racket.

In the way back when, some warlord who beat the others in the area told his new minions to pay a share of all they own and what they produce in return for 'protection' - mainly from his own henchman (on a smaller scale we see this with tribes and chiefs, a social structure also witnessed in most primates, but we're talking governing on a scale beyond the confines of a family based troop).

As feudal territory grew, vassals started to ask for something in return other than rape and hanging for disobeying, lest they go for another warlord promising a better deal.

Modern economies, representative goverment, infrastracture and municipal services, etc, paid for by taxes - Socialism - is a relatively new development, just centuries old.

All laws in every country in the modern world can be traced to the Bible.

Well I've had this discussion before. And honestly, it was in debating an anarchist that I came to my understanding of the purpose of a government. I guess we will have to agree to disagree on that.

And did it occur to you that their might have been a good reason for some of the rules in the bible at the time they were made?

Lastly I'd like to point out that their have been laws since long before there was a bible.

Naah, really, before Hammurabi wrote all of the Commandments?
Sheet, next you're going to tell me how the concept of one God was not Hebrew, and came from the Zoroastrians, as did Jesus.

Gee, never occurred to me at all.

All this frosh level distraction doesn't change how Fascists were extremely right wing/conservative, nor that they were what the alt right emulates, in terms of jingoistic nationalistic xenophobic militaristic autoctratic rule, anyways. Economics? As if drinking beer and ATVing all day was a job.

It's cute how you try to be sarcastic about my counter pointing something you said instead of just admitting it was a bad point. It almost suggests am inability to admit you were wrong.

But back to the issue at hand, why exactly do you think fascism is a conservative socio economic model? I mean, I get that you disagree, but you have yet to actually explain why, as if simply restarting your thesis were proof. And you have failed to actually counter point anything I've said, instead substituting arrogance.

Ok, I'll play along: You were wrong.

Try reading a book or two, I mean, other than the alt right playbook.
Be sure to look up what the National Socialist Party originally stood for and why they departed from that when Hitler took the reins. Be sure to check into the difference between Socialism's pan-national economic aspirations vs Nazism's xenophobic nationalistic ones.

Think your Fascist heroes violated your revisionist paradigm?
Good, go back in time and correct them.

Don't like being characterized as a Nazi?
Good, we're in agreement, I don't like you emulating one either.
So don't do it problem solved you're welcome have a nice night.

This one's done.
Hope my tone didn't irritate your bowels too much.

So this is a reply to the below post that for some reason I can't reply to. Note that again you've said nothing? I've seen this tactic too damned many times. You have no points to make. You have no counterpoints to make. But you can't be wrong, so you go for character assassination.

By the way its the National Socialist German Worker's Party, and it was against big business and capitalism. Sound like any party in our country?
I'll give you a hint; its not the GOP. I'm sure your right that I've never read anything on the subject matter though.

I never said I was a fascist, and since I'm not I'm fairly certain I never indicated it either. Yet you decided to indicate I was a Nazi because you had no data. Nor have I emulated one.

And be honest, your just characterizing me as a Nazi because you have no argument, have made no argument, and will make no argument. Pretty sad really.

Facism isn't a liberal ideolgy. It's just the tin foil MAGA hat wearing conservatives who say it is.

Its a scale for how much control government has. From left to right it goes:
communism->fascism->Socialism->Capitalism->Free Market->Anarchy.

who chose which would be left or right, I haven't a clue.

because the left doesn't know their left from their right
