However fungible the terms may be for superficial ideologues, the phenomena that left and right refer to are the political manifestations of the feminine and masculine instincts respectively. This is a spectrum rather than a binary, and all of us contain a mixture of both regardless of sex.
Mussolini was right-wing in his instincts and pretensions, but owing to some combination of hubris, immaturity, and economic ignorance the policies he advocated throughout his life were consistently leftist. When he was expelled from the socialist party he maintained unequivocally his commitment to socialism: https://t.me/redideologies/420
Now that's a more plausible thesis; an anima or gender-based ideology is a different perspective to take (and I'm not likely to get to it for a while in these writings).
But you do make a keen observation: Mussolini did not really move far from his socialist roots, nor did he think of fascism as actually having moved far from them - just having changed the stage from "the class struggle" to "the class-as-grouped-into-the nation". One might observe that this is why Italy was not more successful, having adopted the trappings of Rome but not the actual ideology that made their ancestors successful. Similarly, one could readily point to groups or individuals further "right wing" than the Nazis - thus the prevalence of the rather derpy "National SOCIALISTS, checkmate libtards" memes out there. Mostly this just means you're entirely justified in calling Tipper Gore a fascist for authoritarian overreach. But that'll be a future substack article where I blame (and/or thank) Tipper and the PMRC, and Janet Reno and the DoJ, for losing Al Gore the presidency.
But first I intend to write about why the World Wars actually happened, at a global political level, since I think history mostly gets that wrong by getting down in the weeds about Gavrilo Princip and Franz Ferdinand or similar non-entities.
I think ideologies are done! It’s over! It is as it has been, who do you worship? Is it the Lords of the beast or Kings of the Divine Hierarchy? This is a spiritual battle! What could be more clear!

By the end of his life, having already socialized 75% of Italy's economy, he wanted to socialize all remaining businesses with 100 or more employees: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congress_of_Verona_(1943)#Proposals_made_at_the_Congress
