A key problem is that I prefer dealing with current vews of current fascism as well as the historical  while some prefer to focus only on the first examples of fascism and others seem to think that anything authoritarian is right wing viewing American usage as less relevant for some reason  The pejorative usage also seems to enter in all of this  frankly I suspect the desire to categorize fascism as though it formed a single entity is illsuited to this article  If we are to deal with all the views of Fascism we are pretty much stuck with the left right or centre trichotomy
