Food For Thought: What is fascism? Nazism? – What is meant by right and left?
"Annie Frey discusses how 'fascism' is used as a political insult and asks Larry Alex Taunton to define it and address claims about Donald Trump. Taunton argues fascism is not an extreme-right ideology but an 'ideological twin' of communism, emphasizing that both are totalitarian, suppress civil liberties, and can include antisemitism, with fascism allowing nominal private property controlled by the state and often regimenting the economy for war. He traces 'anti-fascist' rhetoric and ANTIFA’s origins to Soviet and East German propaganda after World War II, meant to portray communism as Nazism’s opposite despite similarities and historical cooperation such as the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. Taunton disputes the 'horseshoe' framing, says labeling fascism as right-wing is a postwar smear, calls Nazis socialists, and claims DEI and ESG are 'fascist' tools to harness the economy against the American people."
