I feel like a trick the neofascists played was making everyone believe that all things exist as a triad on a line.
What this did is set up the idea that there's just a right and a left and a center (better!) and that all of human political history and thought can be derived through the "conflict" between liberty and tyranny, capitalism and communism, poverty and prosperity, and that each of these things has a clear definition and set of criteria that is correct! or incorrect!
