this is wrong. mussolini was a marxist before developing the ideology of fascism. the point of fascism is to have the state mediate the class contradictions of capitalism. it is literally in the middle

also culturally fascists wanted to develop a new culture (especially futurism) while still incorporating stuff of the old, so even by the metric of culture fascists are still centrist, and in fact fascism is true centre. most people who call themselves centrists are simply bugmen npcs that can't think critically about the economy or culture
