There is no left anarchism, only bigger, more controlling government. Fascism is just a stop on the way toward Leftist Totalitarianism.

I don't match the description of your intended responder, but my two cents: fascism is confusing to people not because it's left wing (it isn't), but because it's anti-capitalist, which we associate with left-wing ideas.

Like most terms nowadays, left-wing and right-wing have so many meanings they're almost meaningless. If you look at it as the far left is complete totalitarianism and the far right is anarchy, then fascism is right next to socialism near the left end. 1/2

Now, it can be argued that left anarchism would be all the way at the left, because without the protection of private property, everyone is a slave to the will of the mob, because someone will have to use the means of production to support society. But that's too much for a tweet

Anarchism is neither left nor right. The left/right paradigm is just different flavors of authoritarianism.

Left and right are dubious concepts. Hitler considered right, but also instituted universal healthcare here during occupation. Considered typically left.

He’s considered “right” because the “left” has marked him as MOST evil and so don’t want to be affiliated, even though the cohorts they support mass murdered far more people and caused much more lasting destruction. It’s a conundrum, until you realize they aren’t big on logic.

It seems to me that the left/right distinction in The US (big/small government) is being conflated with the left/right distinction in Europe (global communism/national fascism). Maybe just semantics? Authoritarian/Libertarian might be a better line to draw.

I use Collectivism (left) vs Individualism (right).
