you clearly have no idea what facism actually is if you think that the republican party extreme is facism, either that or you don't know shit about the republican party 

One could say the same about The Left and Socialism.

Both sides, left and right, are accused of being the precursor to these two extreme views,

'Extreme' is obviously relative and subjective but I don't think it's fair to paint both philosophies as equivalent:

"Socialism is a political, social and economic philosophy encompassing a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership and democratic control of the means of production."

"Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy"

Socialism isn't inherently violent or repressive while fascism is.

 Socialism sure, but it's a matter of flavor. 

That ☭ implies a flavor of socialism that has a history of violence that arguably has a k/d greater than the 卐 variant.

Shoot me. I pick liberty over either authoritarian system.

How much liberty, enough to the point of chaos?

For my perspective, I take it in line with our inevitable obsolescence. 

Machines are finding more and more novel ways to replace our jobs. For example, with story writing, song writing and composition, all manners of image-based art, deep fake technology ridding us of a need to hire actors (as we see Disney doing with the new Star Wars trilogy), and couple it all in with algorithms with a broad enough range of randomizing to keep us guessing and we've turned the entire media industry into a computer. 

With the self driving car, the truck driving practices of now will become a thing of the past, taxi services will exist but won't need to hire drivers, Nascar will become more like Battle Bots to 'preserve the loss of life' as nerds take it over, delivery drivers will be replaced with both this and drones, car mechanics will be less grassroots and more about company certified repair men who understand programming, even the idea of a "Cop Car" will likely undergo changes, alongside the entire idea of individual liability when it's a car driving for you rather than your own fault when there's a crash. Even the ambulances that are sent out wouldn't need as many active workers. 

Factories having humans replaced with automation's been going on for a while now, I'm not sure this really needs further explanation. 

In the near future, we're going to see a huge reduction in the work force in most places of industry, and at that time we're going to have to strongly re-evaluate our idea of wealth entitlement or we're all going to end up starving, working the food industry, or becoming porn stars just to survive (oh wait, to-go orders and delivery food is trending and porn actors can be deepfaked and eventually procedurally generated). 

Without a purpose beyond what few things machines couldn't yet do, or being the guys who founded the final patents that rendered humanity obsolete, we're still going to need some means of divvying out food, water, and shelter between the people who, majority speaking, now cannot work.

As our toil becomes a thing of history, we're going to have a higher likelihood of people having equal pay and equal rights for simply existing.

But what is there without some form of authority?

So what you're saying is, we need to rage against the machines. Interesting.
