It's not some similarity - they are exactly the same. They are symbols of fascism.

The swastika was / is the sign of a political party that subscribed to fascist political doctrine e.g. violence against people I oppose politically is aye ok

But the symbol of fascism is and has always been the fasces,

I'm a little suprised someone on here is fighting me on the idea that the US governement is a fascist entity that readily opresses people and enacts violence against those it opposes politically.

The UAF engages in the same activities you've declared are 'fascist'.

Much to his chargrin, there is little agreement in the top tier of UAF, about anything. takes em a day and a half just to agree on which pub to meet at.

you are correct, Fascism is about more than just violence.

According to Lenin and others, Left wing fascism does exist. So perhaps you know more about left wing politics than the father of the Russian revolution, I don't know, while i've read a bunch of his stuff, I've not read any of your books, to make an accurate judgement to that end.

I'm not apealing to authority.

Just pointing out that your view, that fascism can only exist on the right, is the minority one, is not supported by the general consensus or backed up by fact or historical events.

If your knowledge was so epic and hyou were sure, it would be the simplest thing to explain to this idiot why Fascism can only ever exist on the right...yet, all i read are empty assertions and forum games, this I believe says much about the genuine thought you have put into this quandry.

"I like the left, I hate fascists, thing I like is immune to thing I hate" - thus far, you have demonstrated a thought pattern no deeper than that

Fascism is a specific rightwing nationalist ideology. Not every tyrant is a fascist.

Why is fascism only right wing?

Fascism is an open dictatorship of finance capital. Corporatism is a big part of the ideology. The rich owners sit at the top of a rigid hierarchy and the workers serve them. It's literally the polar opposite of any leftist ideology.
