Yeah far right authoritarians are fascists by definition.
- hagibborim 6y agoNo. Fascists are authoritarians by definition, but the one-dimensional spectrum of "rightwing" and "leftwing" is not suitable for any treatment of fascism that is based in history. "Fascism" and "right-wing authoritarian" are synonymous, and that loss of nuance is giving us blind spots
