Is fascism the "third position" or not? Clue: Yes, yes it is! So, by it's by its own self-definition, it's to the left of classical liberalism. Can we please cut the "horseshoe" bullshit?

Arguing over whether fascism is left or right misses the point of understanding what it was/is. You make compelling points about historical fascisms being leftwing. But the spatial metaphor of left/right isn't a hill to die on.

Insisting that socialists are fascists is an argument meant to exploit culturally negative connotations around the term fascism. It's much easier to just argue against socialism, and leave the term fascist to those who self-identify as such (american neo-nazi, strasserists, etc).
