Fascism in the political spectrum
The RfC on Fascism has now run one month and there are now two versions of the intro para:


 * Most scholars do not find the terms right and left very useful with regard to fascism, which incorporated elements of both left and right, rejected the main currents of leftist and rightist politics, and attracted adherents from both ends of the political spectrum. Hence, fascism can be called sui generis. Some scholars do place fascism squarely on the right or left.


 * Most academics describe fascism as extreme right, radical right, far right or ultra right; some calling it a mixture of authoritarian conservatism and right-wing nationalism. However, there exists a dissenting view that fascism represents radical centrism. Moreover, a number of writers highlight aspects of some types of fascist ideology which may typically be associated with the left.

Could you please comment at Talk:Fascism.

 * Following this RfC, there is currently a proposal regarding the issue of whether or not it is appropriate to characterise fascism as "right-wing".


 * Even if you don't have much to say, it would be useful if you could let your view be known in order to help guide the discussion towards some sort of conclusion.


 * Please take a look: here.


 * Thank you. --FormerIP (talk) 23:01, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

POV claims attributed to, but significantly distorting, the de Felice book on Fascism
The introduction to de Felice's book, which you have provided as a citation, does not state, or otherwise directly support, the assertion that "Likewise, most scholars see the extremist Rousseauian aspects of the Terror as a precursor to Fascism". Please stop inserting this claim into the articles on Fascism and the French Revolution, and if you feel you can make a convincing case to the contrary, please do so on the Talk page over at Fascism rather than simply reverting to force the assertion back into the article.

 * Insert anything with a reliable source which is relevant. Collect (talk) 20:34, 10 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Do not insert anything at all which distorts a source in any way, regardless of whether you feel it is relevant. And, if another editor requests you bring something to Talk before inserting it, it's good etiquette to oblige.


 * Thanks for chiming in with unhelpful and grossly oversimplifying advice, Collect. Factchecker atyourservice (talk) 23:16, 13 July 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem. Though I suggest that your gratuitous adjectives are not helpful to anyone. Collect (talk) 23:20, 13 July 2009 (UTC)


 * What's unhelpful is your advice encouraging a user to ignore advice which points out a serious flaw in one of his edits... all for the purpose of provoking an argument with me. Thanks and have an amazing day. Factchecker atyourservice (talk) 23:30, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
