You’re calling fascists “moderate right” and liberal democrats “far-right” because Nazis did some things that you agree with? What exactly did the Nazis do that makes you think fascism is more moderate on the left-right axis than liberal democracy? It looks like you’re either completely ignoring the social policies of fascism, or your understanding of the terms “moderate right” and “far-right” is way out of line with how most people understand them.
I’ll take Wikipedia over a Lemmy comment with no sources that is arguing that fascism is more moderate than it actually is. The Wikipedia articles I linked to are cited, and the citations look very credible to me.
(I’m fully aware of the two-axis political model you mentioned, which is why I distinguished libertarianism from right-wing politics even though libertarians in the U.S. tend to be right-wing.)
No. Ideologically authoritarians aren’t left or right in any meaningful sense. Let alone moderate. it’s got nothing to do with me. Everything to do with basic facts and their actions. You’re thinking of someone else who implied they were “moderate”
Down votes from buthurt Leninists and politically naive westerners isn’t anything to value. But anyhow I tried sincerely to engage with you and have an honest discussion. And you just weren’t having it. So you have fun believing stuff just because it’s popular or that it’s what someone told you. Don’t bother thinking for yourself it’s too much trouble.
