Left-wing fascism

 * Delete meaningless term, neologism. Anybody who knows the true definition of fascism will know that it's a right-wing ideology. Revolución 22:16, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Fascism and Communism and links therefrom. It's been done over! Cutler 22:55, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, but nobody seems to know a true definition of fascism. Gazpacho 03:28, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. I find it hard to believe that this nomination was in good faith. &mdash; Phil Welch 03:35, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete neologism. JamesBurns 03:50, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete neologism and original research. 172 05:55, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per above + nonsense. &mdash; Davenbelle 09:12, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep; if the concept has been around since the 1960s it's not a neologism, and the article makes it clear that the term is more of a name-calling taunt than an actual political position. I think it's entirely possible someone will hear the term out there and come to Wikipedia wondering what it could mean (especially since it sounds like an oxymoron) and will discover that it is, in fact, just an insult used by right-wingers who are tired of wearing the shoe that fits so well. --Angr/undefined 09:15, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per above + POV GabrielF 17:55, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep -- needs a little bit of reordering and restructuring, but at least semi-notable crapslinging. Haikupoet 00:48, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. "neologism" that was first coined in 1960s, "original research" by Habermas. Last time I checked concepts by notable philosophers were encyclopedic. jni 28 June 2005 07:55 (UTC)
 * Delete nonsense. &mdash; Chameleon 28 June 2005 23:45 (UTC)
 * Delete. POV oxymoron. Kaibabsquirrel 29 June 2005 03:16 (UTC)
