Would a strong police force/military be a social issue? - john - 10-14-2012 06:51 AM
I think I may be socially fascist however I am not sure if I am just interpreting the information I have been reading wrong. Also, is it possible to be socially fascist? Or does fascism refer to the economy? Because I do not agree with the socialist aspects of fascism, I agree with free market capitalism, so this is what leads me to believe that I am socially fascist but economically conservative.

You are right - that does fall under the definition of Right Wing Socialism.

Socialism portal
Politics portal
Conservative or right-wing socialism[1][2] is defined as type of socialism in which institutional aggression is employed to maintain the social status quo and the privileges certain people or groups of people enjoy.[3] The term "socialism" has been used by right-wing movements and politicians to describe their support for social solidarity and paternalism as opposed to what they see as anti-social individualism, commercialism, and laissez faire economics.[4][5] The fundamental objective of “right-wing†socialism is to keep things as they are by preventing the free exercise of entrepreneurship and creative human action from disrupting the pre-established framework of social organization.[3] It supports social hierarchy and allows certain people or groups to have privileges in society.[4] Military socialism, guild socialism, agrarian socialism, and some forms of Christian socialism are related to right-wing socialism.[4] Bismarckism and later fascism and Nazism have been considered examples of right-wing socialism.[2]

Authoritarianism comes in many flavors and isn't necessarily fascist or anything else for that matter.
It certainly is one of the components found in all governments that get labeled as "fascist" (there was really only one Fascist goverment and oddly enough they were the Italian Fascist Party.)
What would be the difference between "Fascists", North Korea,or the Stalinist Soviets when it comes to militarization and wuthoritarian state police?
