No. Fascists are authoritarians by definition, but the one-dimensional spectrum of "rightwing" and "leftwing" is not suitable for any treatment of fascism that is based in history.

"Fascism" and "right-wing authoritarian" are synonymous, and that loss of nuance is giving us blind spots

EDIT: "Fascism" and "right-wing authoritarian[ism]" are [not] synonymous
