    Default Left-wing Fascism

    What in the hell is this?

    Okay so sometimes I type in paradoxical political beliefs in Google to see if there is any group claiming to be them..Well, Wikipedia has an article on Left Fascism.

    Supposedly it something like left-wing terrorists who incorporate ideals of socialism into fascism..

    Sounds like Glenn Beck wrote this article to me.

    "Fascism" is a doctrine that rejects leftist ideals. "Left-Fascism" sounds like a bullshit ideology to me.

    How is that Left? It's a bullshit term.

    Wikipedia also has a fucking article on "anarcho-nationalism." Doesn't mean it's at all coherent.

    It is nonesense cobbled togehter by people who consider themselves mini-demagogues and "leaders." Ignore it, the two contradict each other.

    Some groups, such as the National Socialist Libertarian Green Party, assuming they are still even around and if I remember correctly,accepted jews, homosexuals and other minorities into their party (or so I heard); so that might be what is meant by "elements of socialism," but in ideological Marxian terms, it is still nonsense.

    I often hear people use it as a derogatory term for organisations like Unite Against Fascism, when they try and forcibly prevent the BNP/EDL from having a public platform, the same people will also quote Churchill when he said "The Fascists of the future will be the anti-fascists."

    As far as I know there aren't any people or organisations who would self-identify as "Left-wing Fascists"

    That's what i've always thought..but I was just curious as to why people would put forth effort to even attempt to coin that term and give it definition.

    Like isn't there some kind of controversy here with National Bolshevism? Can anyone elaborate on what that actually is? I've read and it seems like some Socialist ******* shit.

    This sort of nomenclature happens when the political scale is simplified into right/left and the right-wing doesn't want to admit it shares many of the same qualities as fascism.

    Seems rather archaic that there is such a thing as "Left Fascism". Since leftists are universally against Fascism, the contradiction would be too great and would destroy the ideology itself. Same goes with the previously mentioned "Anarcho Nationalism".

    It's not a real thing, it's an Insult toward "Authoritarian Terrorist" Leftists. Basically just more Liberal bullshit, nothing to see.

    Closest thing I know of:

    Strasserism refers to the strand of Nazism that called for, and the neo-Nazism that currently calls for, a more radical, mass-action and worker-based form of National Socialism, particularly hostile to finance capitalism from an antisemitic basis, to achieve a national rebirth. It derives its name from Gregor and Otto Strasser, the two Nazi brothers initially associated with this position. Opposed on strategic views to Adolf Hitler, Otto Strasser was expelled from the NSDAP in 1930, while Gregor Strasser was killed during the 1934 Night of the Long Knives.

    it's p. much just an epithet.

    i remember the user Os Ctafhgbfhgbjdfbgjdfa made a p. good post about how there is def. a left wing of fascism though, that is very anti-clerical, has very anti-capitalist rhetoric, and which viewed the French Revolution in a positive light (a p. interesting distinction which i wouldn't have noticed) but which is still entirely opposed to socialism at its core, believing in strict, 'natural' hierarchies, a strong national state, etc. etc. etc.

    EDIT: lol they're also always murdered every time fascists get around to taking power

    Noxion is right. Most strasserists actually think they're leftists. (or so it seems from the thankfully brief contact I've had with those creatures)
    The historic ascent of humanity, taken as a whole, may be summarized as a succession of victories of consciousness over blind forces — in nature, in society, in man himself.

    The only time I've heard it in public discourse its been from people like Glenn Beck and Ann Culture, and as such I dismiss it immediately.

    In my opinion, fascism is a branch of leftism.
