If you think all right-wingers are fascistic, you need to get your
head serviced.
And no, the fascistic system of thinking is not necessarily
right-wing.
From Merriam-Webster:

See how that compares to Stalinist Russia.

And by this definition, any dictatorship can be fascist. From Maoist
China through Pol-Pot's Khmer Rouge to Ceaucescu's Romania.
Sorry to spoil the party.
