PODCAST: Fascism Is Not the ‘Far Right’!

For decades, we’ve been taught a simplistic political spectrum: communism on the far left, fascism on the far right, and democracy somewhere safely in the middle. It’s a framework repeated in academia, echoed in the media, and baked into textbooks. But this narrative is not only historically inaccurate — it’s dangerously misleading. Fascism and communism are not opposites. They are rivals within the same ideological family — branches of the collectivist tree rooted in Marxist soil. While they differ in rhetoric and style, both lead to the same destination: totalitarian control, the abolition of individual rights, and the glorification of the all-powerful state. To call fascism “far-right” is to misunderstand both history and political philosophy.

The Socialist Roots of Fascism….

Fascism did not arise as a reactionary, right-wing movement. It emerged from the Left— explicitly from Marxist and socialist intellectual circles. Benito Mussolini was not only a card-carrying socialist, but the editor of Avanti!, the official newspaper of the Italian Socialist Party. He broke with orthodox Marxists not because he rejected socialism, but because he believed class struggle was less effective than nationalist unity in achieving socialist ends. His innovation was to blend nationalism with socialism — not to abandon socialism.
