You two are continuing the "anybody whose politics I don't like is a

It's false to claim that either fascism in the narrow sense (Italian
Fascism and the MSI) _or_ fascism in the broad sense (as in the Roman
ideals and those of their successors) is strictly a "leftist" or
"rightist" phenomenon, however that vague spectrum is understood.


As the Italians are still with us, I must assume that the Italian
manifestation of fascismo is the most valid model and analog to what
happens when right-wingers start fake wars and start waving the flag.
