An update...

There was a forum at SNU yesterday about this matter and both sides were present.

The liberals attacked, punched, kicked and choked the conservatives and threw furniture at the conservatives as well. They also threw objects around the room.

Holy shit. I agree with dd.

Conservative is more a description of a disposition. It isn't an adequate way to explain a world view. Rightist is better.

This, below, is a far better way at explaining the spectrum.

I'll check it out. But I disagree with the whole pidgeon holing aspect of things like this. (so does that make me Liberatarian??? , I don't think so).

I do also disagree with you thought that fascism was an economic movement / expression (or maybe you aren't saying that but it came through in your reply).

Fascism in my mind and many others, was a system of governemt based on the notion of "fatherland" . It was purely ideological and found its strength through the belief that the whole nation was sacred and pure. All was done for the nation's sake and its figurehead was the "father figure" who embodded all that was good and purile in the nation. It was a personality cult where all individual presence was secondary to the will of the nation and leader.

That economically the state assumed control of most everything, was a secondary and proximate characteristic of the higher all embracing ideology of the state.

That's my own version.

Sorry if my post was confusing. Fascism was strictly economics.

It had an economic Philosphy of Monopoly Capitalism with a Nationalist bent (industrial control). The Oppression and racist policies were social aspect of Fascism not economic.

At the same in Britain the Empirical policies where similar Monopoly Capitalism, the social policies or oppresion was different, it was offshore in far away places, it was not categorized as Fascism but Imperialism or Colonialism, there were no death camps.

Monopoly Capitalism died at the end of WWII.

The concept of "fatherland" or "motherland" or even "homeland" are nationalist concepts nothing to do with left, right, liberal, or conservative.

Nationlism or National Pride or Patriotism or Sovreignty are recognitions of geopolitical regions from which one hails. Too the extreme these concepts can embody a sort of supremacy or racism. To the lesser extent merely a sense of identity.

Internationalism or Globalism is another concept, ideologically the identity with the world, being a citizen of the world, it can also be conceptualized as world domination by a political or corporate or industial or commercial or religious entity.

Individualism frees us from tying into these precepts too seriously.
