People seem to not understand the actually meanings of things like liberalism, conservatism, socialism, communism, fascism, left-wing and right-wing mean. Calling someone a liberal communist or a conservative fascist makes no sense smh lol

Could you explain the conservative fascist one because to my knowledge those two have never been mutually exclusive

Conservatism is too libertarian for fascism and fascism is too authoritarian for conservatism. You could have something that falls between them such as some sort of right-wing authoritarianism just like a socdem falls between a liberal and a communist, but the elements themselves are so different that you can’t truly be more of one with subtracting from the other.
