It boggles my mind how the left side of the political aisle wants more government control, and greatly trusts the state, while the right wants the government to take a more hands-off approach in comparison, yet the right wingers are considered to be more fascist than left wingers.
Fascism requires three things: authoritarianism, trust in the state, and private sector cooperation in authoritarian measures. It's easier to find people who believe in all three on the left than on the right.
