Umm.... Nope. Fascism is right-wing.
Fascism does not believe in economic equality or fairness. It does not believe in welfare, and it is anti-union. Completely opposite to what the left-wing believes.
Fascism also believes in a moral basis to the state. It emphasizes family, a strong role for religion, and traditional values. Again, very inconsistent with left-wing beliefs.
Fascism also glorifies the state. It believes that the home state is superior to all other states. This is an extremely right-wing stance, and has lead to rampant militarism and imperialism in fascist states. The left-wing believes that no state is better than another, and emphasizes cooperation between states rather than competition.
Its a joke to say that fascism is left-wing, since it is clear that the main principles of the ideology have right-wing qualities.
