If it were so trivially true that good ideas beat bad ideas, then why do bad ideas exist?

One, I don't even think this makes sense in the first place. People don't base their politics based on left/right. There is no right wing conservative, who learns that Nazis are considered to be far right, and goes "oh I need to completely change my political positions".
Two, these words aren't magical. They only have the meaning that most people give them - that can get tricky if some people are using the words differently. But if tomorrow, everyone swapped left and right, that wouldn't matter. You would just start gauging policies based on that definition you're using.
The left/right spectrum is generally based on hierarchy - generally class, but race, sex are frequent issues, it's not state vs private. Fascism imposes a hierarchy.
