I think this is terrible, but I also think the left is asking for it.

Most European fascist parties are pretty close to socialism so it isn't really getting rid of the left. The old BNP had most of it's policies the same as the British communist party, right through to nationalising the banks. It's sort of like selective socialism. The state supports people it likes but not others.

Fascism is indeed very leftist, but few people will admit it anymore since they're all on the left. Left and right now mean progressive and conservative, because conservatives and neutrals used to side with the right.

national socialism, has the word socialism in it. It's good though, can't have worldwide socialism for the same reason we can't have worldwide capitalism. Can't be forcing it on people.

Socialism has never succeeded. And even if it did, I think it's hardly worth the loss of individuality.

many years of propaganda have you believing that. In our capitalist society right now how much individuality do we have, how much freedom. All socialism means is organizing together for the good of all, and if it's national that means sovereign rights.

We don't have a capitalist society. It's rapidly shifting socialist, especially supported by the evil megacorps socialism claims to be against.
