"Fascism is normally described as "extreme right"[25] although writers on the subject have often found placing fascism on a conventional left-right political spectrum complex.[26] There is a scholarly consensus that fascism was influenced by both the left and the right.[27] A number of historians have regarded fascism either as a revolutionary centrist doctrine, as a doctrine which mixes philosophies of the left and the right, or as both of those things.[28][29][30]"

since we're quoting wikipedia, oh look:
Fascism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

so, thanks for playing
You have only said that Fascism is "described" by writers as being far right but you've not said why it is so? What about National Socialism or Fascism is to the right?
