Fascism is not conservative, in either the classical liberal or legitimist sense. It is statist, collectivist, obsessed with youth, disdainful of tradition, contemptuous of law & institutions, & brooks no competition for man's loyalty to the State. It is, however, "right-wing."https://twitter.com/JonahDispatch/status/1112155644839243776 …

It seems to me that the easiest answer to all this is to simply concede that fascism, and especially Hitlerism, was an idiosyncratic, anti-left, anti-conservative political ideology of 1930s Europe that is not particularly relevant to American politics in 2019.

Yes, this. The state leaves no room for the individual or ,say, the church. No way that's conservative.

If fascism is statist, collectivist, and socialist (“everything in the state; nothing outside it”), in what sense is it “right wing”? Sounds pretty leftist to me, at least from an American perspective.
