Not according to the dictionary. From Dictionary.com: 1. any ideology or movement inspired by Italian Fascism, such as German National Socialism; any right-wing nationalist ideology or movement with an authoritarian and hierarchical structure that is fundamentally opposed to democracy and liberalism 2. any ideology, movement, programme, tendency, etc, that may be characterized as right-wing, chauvinist, authoritarian, etc "right wing national ideology"...."opposed to democracy and liberalism". Fascism is conservatism stripped of it's good qualities, leaving only the ugly side. When either a right or a left ideology goes to such an extreme, it's difficult to really call it "right or left" anymore. Socialism starts out as a left idea, but when it comes to it's ultimate corrupted end, you get someone like Chavez.....and at that point, who cares if he started out as left or right..he's an all controlling dictator, and everyone suffers. Chavez, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Idi Amin...they all used whatever ideology was best suited to get them what they really wanted: Power. So i don't see why conservatives should feel the need to become defensive about Fascism as a "right wing extremism"....fascism does not impugn conservatism, just as socialism does not impugn liberalism. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:354222 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
