America doesn’t have a left wing. There’s far right and center right
I’ve read similar before. I’ve heard that the UK’s Conservative Party (Tory’s) are more aligned with the US Democrats in their outlook than the US Republicans. The Tory’s are generally considered our right wing (there are smaller more right wing parties though).
There’s far right and right. I wouldn’t call them anywhere near centre right.
They’re not right wing/controlled opposition. They’re right wing controlled opposition.

The fun thing about being a liberal is the lefties thing you’re a fascist and the righties think you’re a communist.
the number of times i’ve seen a scratched lib turn fash surprised me… at first.
Well actually it is impossible for a liberal to turn into a fascist as they are two completely different ideologies.
Liberalism and fascism are the same ideology in different economic and social circumstances. That’s why the saying goes “scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds,” the underlying system supported by both is heavily based on the private ownership of the means of production.

This might be true but there are some significant differences between the two as well.
Such as?
Well one is a liberal and the other is a fascist to start.
Liberalism and fascism are descriptors for superstructural ideology sprouting from the same base in different circumstances. The liberal Weimar Republic quickly became the fascist Nazi Germany not out of a pivot in underlying ideas, necessarily, but due to the natural changing material conditions the same Mode of Production found itself in.
Liberalism and fascism are tied.
