Instead of addressing what I wrote, Horse, you take the tactic so often used by the left -- demonizing (Platteral shift, propaganda, bluster) The only attempt you made to argue reasonably was to claim that capitalists and corporatists fit the description I gave, an obvious error since both arise from free markets, the opposite of communism, socialism, fascism, etc. .

You say the Fascists were socialists (or as you prefer, communists), I call you on it and you go into one about something or other that's completely irrelevant and try and avoid the question. When will you stop with the propaganda and bluster? The Nazis, whatever the nickname, were right-wing, not left-wing and all your blustering to avoid your own right-wing bias won't hide that fact. A couple of groups you conveniently left out below are the capitalists and corporatists which, as Steve pointed out via Mussolini, are the beneficiaries of the fascist legacy.
