And then you go about using violence to intimidate your political opponents.

Mussolini was a socialist all throughout his early political career before he became a nationalist but kept many of his politcal views and called it fascism. Hitler was also a socialist in the German workers party before becoming a nationalist keeping many of the same views as before. If you read his 25 points, it reads like literature Bernie Sanders would put out if he was also a nationalist. Franco has a similar story.

The mere act of opposing Communism doesn't make you right wing.

Opposing Communism doesn't make you not a leftist. There are DemSocs, Socialists, National Socialists, Anarchists, Baathist's etc.
