As a political centrist I feel like I'm surrounded by communists and fascists.

Except (at least in the U.S.) the field of political opinion is rotated 90 degrees. It should be Fascists vs Libertarians, but instead Republicans take the social side of Fascism and fiscal side of Libertatianism, and vice versa for Democrats. So IMO neither party takes a logical position.

Oh, so Democrats more than Republicans prioritize spending on the military and security state, and particularly on a corporatist engagement between industry and the State both in general and particularly in those domains?

Seems to me that of you are viewing the world through a Fascism vs. Libertarianism lens and trying to apply that to US party political the current Republicans take the social side of Fascism and also the fiscal side of Fascism.
