"Fascism" as a political topic is bizarre. I can understand a topic like marxism or communism having a woolly definition as it's been around for hundreds of years/millions of dead, and had multiple "versions" and "updates" each 100 mil dead or so.
But fascism is literally a 6page pamphlet explaining what it is. "The Doctrine of Fascism" takes about 10 minutes to read, it's the state being the ultimate arbiter or everything, literally nothing outside of the state.
If you think of the political quadrant, it's not so much left or right, as it is the entire top border of it.
The political quadrant bullshit is a scam to push horseshoe theory.
There is no left wing libertarianism. There is no right wing socialism. Those are fundamentally opposing concepts. The left and right is statism vs anarchism and everything in between. Aka an actual measurable scale, no culturally relative moral bullshit - just "more state" vs "less state".

Or collectivism vs individualism.
