What's that got to do with either post you quoted?
Listen, I know you are a high school drop out, probably smoked a TON of dope during Vietnam and all, and now you're barely functioning as an independent adult, but even the dumbest of dumb know that you can't get any more left-wing that Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, and Benito Mussolini.
Please allow me to explain the political scale to you incompetent dumbocrats. If conservatives are the "right" and believe in small government, and maximum freedoms, then the further you go to the right, government gets smaller and smaller, less powerful and less powerful, until you finally reach the most fringe radical end, which would be ANARCHIST (ie NO government, NO rules at all). This is represented by the asshole "Sovereign Citizen" like mjollnir as well as many Ron Paul worshipper quack's.
Now, if liberals are the "left" and believe in large government controlling everything and making all decisions for everyone, then the further you go to the left, government gets larger and larger, more powerful and more powerful, until you finally reach the most fringe radical end of the left, which would be total control by NAZI's/Communists/Dictators/Current Day Dumbocrats/etc. Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein are vintage examples of extreme left-wing.
The fact that someone has to explain this to you is just sad....
Please don't reveal your ignorance publicly. It's embarrassing. Only a true Nutter would try to make the case that Fascism is leftist.
I know...I know. That's one of the new talking points in the right's bid to revise history to either fit what they're doing, or to hide it, but that still doesn't make it true.
It would be comical if it weren't such a tragedy that American's know so little of history.
'Mussolini distinguished fascism from liberal capitalism in his 1928 autobiography:
The citizen in the Fascist State is no longer a selfish individual who has the anti-social right of rebelling against any law of the Collectivity. The Fascist State with its corporative conception puts men and their possibilities into productive work and interprets for them the duties they have to fulfill. (p. 280)
Before his foray into imperialism in 1935, Mussolini was often praised by prominent Americans and Britons, including Winston Churchill, for his economic program.
Similarly, Adolf Hitler, whose National Socialist (Nazi) Party adapted fascism to Germany beginning in 1933, said:
The state should retain supervision and each property owner should consider himself appointed by the state. It is his duty not to use his property against the interests of others among his own people. This is the crucial matter. The Third Reich will always retain its right to control the owners of property. (Barkai 1990, pp. 2627)'

Fascist were just another flavor of progressive totalitarianism.
