The only purpose of conflating these terms is to co-opt the term 'fascist' into yet another meaningless rhetorical bludgeon.

Yes. The original fascists were Italian and had hard-left policies, like very heavy state involvement in industry and communist-style dictatorship.
This rebranding of "fascists" and "Nazis" as right wing has been going on a long time, but when you look at what these groups of people actually did when in power their actions were all but indistinguishable from the USSR: The hardest of hard left power structures. They were both "alt left".
