“Fascism is a term coined by Mussolini to mean “everything in the state, nothing outside the state”. It is clearly left wing as was always understood at the time. National Socialism was competing with Communism for the extreme left-wing vote. Yes, people were allowed to own capital, but as the government directed how that capital was to be used, it was left wing. It was only Stalin trying to separate the two ideologies that called it right wing, a tactic that has grown ever since as left-wing parties try to distance themselves from their own failures. The main difference between the two parties was Communism was global whereas Nazis was a national form of socialism, hence Stalin’s labelling of it as right wing associated that national aspect to also relate to right wing. You cannot have right wing dictatorships as it is a contradiction in terms.”
