"Fascist" does not mean "member of right-wing movement," and I seriously doubt that most members of Mussolini's party would have recognized the tea-baggers as confreres. Have you guys ever read any actual Fascist writings -- Gentille, Mussolini, Junger?

I read some Gentile, spelled with one L, way back when.
I'm sure Gramsci read them all in the original Italian, and would contest your view that fascism, including it's Italian incarnation, wasn't a right-wing movement formed to battle Communists and other leftists in the streets in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution.
Anyway, I'll let others indulge your eccentric views on fascism.
