Liberal Fascism

As I've mentioned earlier, I've always wondered why fascism was considered of the right. For reasons not related to the book, I'm only on page 145 of Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism.

The best, most concise thought (so far) why the term "fascism" should be associated with the left comes from no less than Benito himself, "Everything in the State, nothing outside the State (page 80)." There is no individual liberty under fascism which is not to say everybody on the left does not support individual liberty, but the hard left certainly favors the us over the I.
