Not at all. A cursory understanding of socialism will make this easier to understand.
All humans are entitled to equal rights, regardsless of race or religion.
The division preventing that is based on class.

My point is who the * are you to be passing comment on Orwell's political beliefs when you haven't even read his work.
And secondly, who the * are you to argue that a cherry picked first-person quote gives more insight into a man's personal beliefs than a novel he's written when you've never authored anything of note.
It's baffling hat you'd try to argue from such a position of ignorance.
They arent tenets of Socialism anymore than they are tenets of Capitalism.
By the way you will notice I have not once expressed a view that one is better than the other. Im simply calling spades spades.

Yes they are.
A cursory glance at socialist parties and literature will tell you it is.

franco was fascist as were the nazi even if they had national socialist in the name
orwell choosing to join the war against them IMO shows he was not a fan
more so if you read the good books you he wrote and take in the overall vibe
Cherry picked? It isnt the only quote regarding the subject.
I will go again.
I always disagree, however, when people end up saying that we can only combat Communism, Fascism or what not if we develop an equal fanaticism. It appears to me that one defeats the fanatic precisely by not being a fanatic oneself, but on the contrary by using one's intelligence.Letter to Richard Rees (3 March 1949), The Collected Essays,
Does that sound to you like he didnt feel it needed to be combatted?
Yeah sure, but how does that make them right wing?

What does it matter?
Pardon? How were the Central Powers or the Ottoman Empire Capatalist?
South America? You are going to need to be more specific. I can think of a few communist atrocities (Che Guevera shooting people for fun for example, yet people wear shirts with his face on it
) . Are you refering to Pinochet perhaps?It doesnt, think that is one thing we can agree on as like you alluded to, Facism cant be labelled as left or right.
But it was specifically referred to as right wing by another poster.
Extreme right wing is anarchism.

hang on who is making these rules
extreme right and being orderly = fascist
extreme right and really NGAF = anarchism

A war of industrialists and marketeers.
Most conflicts where the West has been the aggressor or supported aggressors can be traced back to the need to expand markets.

Society is CURRENTLY divided by class. Socialism seeks to redress that problem.
