it's just a matter of looking up who sided with lockdowns, mask and vax mandates. Those are the literal fascists by definition.

The definition of fascism includes "right wing" so the left can never be fascist

Musolini who created that movement, was a socialist before that. He applied the same ideology with some twists. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benito_Mussolini#Beginning_of_Fascism_and_service_in_World_War_I
The point is those extremes are not as polar opposite as it may seem, not to mention "right wing" is a vague term, not to mention defining a term with a specific political leaning can be a political strategy.

Hitler also had many socialist policies in his platform. It was very right wing. And it was also very pro workers rights. I don’t want to re define words.
But fascism is very authoritarian while appealing to the masses. It is an emotional movement, not a logical one. Fascism in Nazi Germany is similar to the left today, in that they took over with emotions. What they said made no sense. And it diddnt have to.

It made sense to the nation's soul. Yes, it was very emotional, but it didn't CATER to whatever individual emotionality inhabited people like today's left, but rather authoritatively enforce whatever values were at the root of the common emotionality of the people. So they remain truly opposite.
