Poll to see where you stand!

No, Fascism is authoritarian. How do you explain classical liberals and anarcho capitalists or right libertarians who are individualists? By your logic I can label you, and anarcho syndicalist, a communist.
I've never come across an anarcho capitalist / libertarian who wasn't secretly a fascist. It's not easy to tell sometimes, because they cover up their true beliefs with a load of "freedom" rhetoric, but once you grill them on some tough issues, their true sides emerge. Anarcho capitalism would lead to the rich oppressing the poor, and the coporations would seize control of government and create their own fascist state. Same would happen with liberatrianism (which is basically anarcho capitalism but with a coporation loving government already in place).
I don't mind being called a communist. It isn't true, but I share a load of values with them. The left can be subdivided into lots of different categories, because that is where all political development over the last 300 years has happened. The right has stayed the same; fascist as ever, but has just changed name a few times (fascism, nazism, conservatism, etc).  RE: Poll to see where you stand!

You see no contradiction stating that being called a communist isn't true, but your assertion that all conservatives are fascists IS true.
Hmm....  EDIT: I'm being a bit rude actually, I do probably share much of your views, just I dislike blind assertion.

No, he isn't, because he doesn't like the word facist, because it isn't a turkish word....He's already explained this.

I'm a pluralist, which [to me] means I take whatever I think will work to produce the greater good. The labels 'left' 'right' and 'centre' are irrelevant to me,except as a shorthand to describe certain kinds of loon. EG Creationists, Libertarians,etc,etc.
