Well, let's get to the point then. Do you consider fascism as a leftist ideology?

I've never been of the inclination that one could simplify it down to an either/or.  Its incipient 'author' sure as hell had such leanings, along with startling quotes such as FDR praising Mussolini's progress; and yet, one of the greatest villains in human history was a fascist...and he ruled in crueler ways than many theocrats throughout history.  It's sure as hell a lot dicier to categorize it than surface-level objections like "Oh Hitler threw socialists in jail and fascists fought communists, therefore right-wing!" would suggest.

That was a pretty roundabout way of avoiding to answer the question.
