    I think we are agreeing.

    Left wing ideas are not fascist, but people with left wing beliefs can also hold fascist ideas (e.g. Mussolini).

    It is a mistake to assume that only the right can be fascist.

      ok, then we sort of agree, it is possible to be fascist “on the left” by putting the collective above all individual rights and wellbeing by force, where you would replace “the nation” with e.g. “the proletariat” instead, which you would not call fascist, would you? I mean, there is a name for it: Stalinism or marxism-leninism or communism, depending on who you’re talking to.
