Wikipedia defines the political spectrum as "a system to characterize and classify different political positions in relation to one another."A common portrayal of this political spectrum is shown below:

The real "left/right" political spectrum is best summarized by a belief in strong, centralized civil government power and control on the left, and individual liberty and freedom on the right. As one article properly summarizes:
Left-wing parties believe in the expanded role of the government. They believe that the wrongs of society can be corrected and regulated when the government plays its part right...Right Wing parties favor smaller governments with fewer regulations. They advocate for greater autonomy for individuals and businesses. (https://bestdiplomats.org/left-wing-vs-right-wing/)
Wikipedia defines Nazism as a "far-right totalitarian socio-political ideology." Is this the case? Is fascism really far right? According to Merriam-Webster, fascism is "associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition." Since this definition is accurate, how is fascism adjacent to libertarianism on the political spectrum shown above? Fascism is characterized by extreme civil government power, whereas libertarianism is associated with extremely small civil government and an emphasis on individual liberty.
Deception is real. All deceit stems from the original Liar himself, Satan, who is the "father of lies" (John 8:44). The word gaslighting has become popular in recent days, defined as: "the act or practice of grossly misleading someone especially for one's own advantage". Do not be gaslit by the mainstream media, Hollywood, and educational institutions who classify fascism as "far right" on the political spectrum.
The real political spectrum, from left to right, is: Fascism, Communism, Socialism, Neo-conservatism, Historic Liberalism, Conservatism, Libertarianism, Anarchy.
