My understanding is that fascism is another form of authoritarian government where the needs of the state are elevated above the needs of the citizenry. Calling it a "right-wing" form of government goes against my understanding of what right-wing vs left-wing means. My understanding is that on the far right of the government structures spectrum you have anarchy, no government whatsoever, and on the far left you have totalitarianism, complete government control. Many people conflate this with conservative vs liberal, which is a different spectrum all together.</blockquote>
