The left is confused about authoritarianism

I've been encountering more and more instances lately of left-wingers making the absurd exclamation that all, most, or a large part of the right are (Usually fronted by the improper use of the word literally) fascist, nazi's, totalitarian etc. This is baffling to me. The only way I can make sense of this is to explain it by assuming that those on the left are confused and misled. I have already made a good case for this in the previous article https://hosorrow2.wixsite.com/mysite/home/there-s-no-such-thing-as-authoritarian-right. However, I'd like to dig a little deeper on this one. Recent discussions I've had have highlighted that both sides are accusing the other of the same thing. One side, the left, is committing the false-equivalency fallacy. While I'd like to be fair here and say the right is largely committing it as well, I can't be that generous, because it would be dishonest. As outlined in the linked article, the rights entire foundation-of-beliefs, politically, is built on small government and liberty. The right actually opposes the "Alt-Right" even more feverishly than the left (Remember that right-wing voices the likes of Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager are ORTHODOX JEWS. No one fears Nazism and Fascism more than THEY DO). Left-wingers have to remember at all times that just because the groups have been labeled "Alt-Right", doesn't mean you can commit a false equivalency fallacy and attribute any of their beliefs to "The Right". Yes, the Right and Alt-Right, while both labels contain "Right" are actually on two opposite and opposing sides. If you are on the left, this might be mind-blowing, but it IS the truth. Stop being misled and confused. That's what it should REALLY mean to be "Woke". The left looks at a tiny, TINY group of white supremacists like the Ku Klux Klan and Neo Nazi's, and they attempt to blanket the entire right-wing in association with those groups. A huge problem here is that the left-wing media (95% of the media right now) tries so hard to perpetuate the idea that these groups are not only common, but that they're "Literally everywhere!". They're not. I'd ask you, how many times have you even heard about these groups in the last decade, but you'd jump in with "But Charlottesville, Unite the Right!". That incident is a crime and it has made the rights job of distancing itself from this mess even harder. Remember, however, that the total number of people (Let alone real white-supremacists) attending that event were in the low hundreds. Meanwhile, left-wing events bring tens of thousands and sometimes even hundreds of thousands of people together. Even Trumps rally's and parades have brought in tens of thousands. So when you chime in with "But Charlottesville", you're taking the voices of a few hundred, maybe a bit more, and equating it with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands... then ultimately, well-over 150-million of the right. When Charlottesville went down, Ben Shapiro rebuked every aspect of it. He hates the "Alt-Right" and he despises the left and Antifa. So the ENTIRE thing was a travesty on both sides. (I'll get to Antifa next). What you really had here were two extreme groups, two sides of the same coin, clashing. Everyone on the right saw it that way. You didn't have Christians, Libertarians, and Conservatives leaning on the edge of their seats rooting for white-supremacists like it's their favorite football team. No, they were all JUST AS appalled as anyone else. It was disgusting. As for Antifa, this is a classic case of a group masquerading as something it really isn't. They label themselves "Anti-Fascists", but they're all for totalitarianism, they're all for big government (Because the radical left is). They take that false equivalency of labeling the right as fascists, then they call themselves anti-"that". Therefor, Antifa aren't Anti-Fascists, they're just Anti-Right. They're just radical left-wingers. Period. If they weren't and I was wrong, they'd be RIGHT-WING. Because the right are REALLY the ones who oppose totalitarianism and big government. Here's an interesting thing about the left It's called "Red Fascism". It's essentially Fascism born out of left-wing ideology, masquerading as something else.

Adolf Hitler: Socialist/European Left-Wing Democratic Party: Turning Socialist, going far-left Fascism: Check

Adolf Hitler (In fact ALL Fascist regimes): Wanted to ban guns and did Democratic Party: Wants to ban guns Fascism: Check

Adolf Hitler: Suppressed freedom of speech Democratic Party: Wants to use "Hate Speech" blanket-term to suppress and infringe on free-speech Fascism: Check

Vladimir Lenin: Co-produced Marxist Communism, AKA Red Fascism (Guy who launched communist Russia with Karl Marx, who was later replaced after death by Joseph Stalin) Democratic Party: Current socialist-rooted platform is almost indistinguishable from the Communist Manifesto Fascism: Check Adolf Hitler: The biggest Anti-Semitic in history, whose platform ran on Antisemitism Democratic Party: The likes of Ilhan Omar expressing blatant Anti-Semitism Bonus: Republicans are rebuking her and others like her Bonus: The left and Democrats are supporting and protecting her So while the left touts "Charlottesville, therefor all of the right are alt-right. The Media says so", the right sees the aforementioned evidence and realizes and understands that it is in-fact, the radical left that is on a course toward fascism (That kind of adds an irony to the title, Antifa, right?) ...and it scares the hell out of us. All of us.
