However, on a spectrum of government ranging from no government on the far right to totalitarian government on the far left, communism & fascism are both on the far-left totalitarian end. Fascism is just barely to the right of communism.
America was founded on the far right, next to no government. We have fought wars against both fascism and communism.

Conservatives want a return to small, limited government and more freedom.
