It’s that language thingy again.
“Leftwing”,”Rightwing”, “capitalist”, “socialist”, “conservative” and “liberal” are European terms that don’t really apply in the US.
In Europe a conservative is a monarchist - the complete opposite of a Jefferson, Franklin, Hancock or Washington.
In fact they fought against British conservatives.
In Europe they would be Liberals - antimonarchist, capitalist, but not “rightwing” which is a European conservative.
Modern Europe grew out of feudalism, which has nobility or peasantry - “socialists” would arise from the peasantry - the hammers and sickles of feudal society.
What would become the Liberals arose from the entrepreneurs, who are neither hammer or sickle, but free to market any good or service they can produce - the guiding principle of US capitalism. The Founders were original Liberals.
The bogus term “liberal” used in the US today in fact applies to socialists masquerading as capitalists.
Fascism aka “national socialism” arose out of syndicalist socialism, a french philosophy that asserts socialism must be instituted by armed force - in opposition to the Marxist theory that socialism must be spread by the general strike of workers.
Mussolini, Hitler and Lenin were the major proponents of armed socialism, what would be called “war communism” in Russia.
Under Stalin the so called “international socialism” of Marx became the full-on national socialism of Mussolini and Hitler.
It’s that dang language thingy.
Doesn’t help that their always changing the wordage.
“Liberal’’. “Democrat Socialist’’. “Progressive’’. (progressing towards what? total control?)
