List of Nationalist and Fascist/Rightist Movements in History

Fascism is much more nationalism, and much less "socialism"; socialism is an egalitarian leftist movement, while Fascism, in most of the examples below, was simply anti-Communism mixed with nationalism, or vice-versa. Most movements listed here are WWII-era.

Furthermore, U.S. policy concerning Fascism vs. Communism has been so inconsistent as to boggle the human mind. One year America asked an anti-Communist leader to step down from power in Cuba -- Batista, which paved the way for the Communist leader Fidel Castro to assume leadership of Cuba. Then, a few years later, the U.S. supported the opposite ideology: it supported anti-Communism by aiding anti-Marxist efforts in Vietnam. Similarly, the U.S. backed rightist movements in Chile (Pinochet), Angola (UNITA), and Nicaragua, yet sided with Communists in 1933 and fought Fascism with the Communists in WWII. An official, binding anti-Communist policy by the U.S. would have prevented many wars and murders worldwide, and would have entirely prevented WWII.
