Framing the Terms

I like to double-check against the risk of “fake news,” especially when it’s this easy to do. I have some vintage dictionaries, and I can mostly confirm what this guy says. My largest unabridged adds the clause “suppression of opposition parties (especially leftist)”, which is the closest any of them come to ascribing fascism to either wing; the fairest interpretation implies that it is more commonly rightist than leftist, but far from exclusively.
