<<<For example comparing fascists with communists. Fascists may have nationalist in-group loyalty, while communists may have class in-group loyalty. Less extreme more nuanced views wouldn't break down so cleanly buy some level of in-group loyalty to some group is nearly universal. >>> Fascism, communism, liberalism, conservativism and so on are just labels humans constructed in some more or less arbitrary manner. It seems like we put these labels on some shapeless boxes and formulate some simple rules that allow us to fill the boxes with ideas we individually concoct. The problem is there are people that take these shaky definitions, take them seriously, and attach unusual and extreme loyalties. They go so far as being willing to die and or kill others for these fundamentally vague concepts.
