Fascism is not a right-wing phenomenon. Conservatives seek small government. Fascists promote huge, omnipotent government. They could not be more opposite.
Fascism promotes large government, which makes it a Leftist movement.
Fascism uses large government to implement its agenda through state-approved corporate actors. The only difference between Fascism and Communism/Socialism is that Fascism allows private ownership (by large, state-approved and politically-compliant corporations), while Communists/Socialists strive for state control of the means of production. They both lead to the same totalitarian end, but use different means to get there.
All totalitarians are Leftist because they all require large, intrusive government and despise individual civil liberties.
For the National Socialist German Workers Party (the NSDAP), also known as the Nazis, the state-approved corporate actors were firms like Krupp, Siemens, IG Farben, and Deutsche Bank, etc.; while today the Left does their work through Google, Facebook, Apple and Bank of America, etc., promoting Leftism. The end goal is complete state control of every aspect of the lives of the population of individuals.
Where is Antifa (which is a term coined in the 1930s, purportedly standing for "Antifascist," for the communist opponents of the NSDAP in Weimar-era Germany) in all this?
