Pierce, I'd say it's time for you to read your von Kuehnelt-Leddihn. His argument that both fascism and communism are things of the left is very solidly made, in his Leftism Revisited. He was an unabashed fan of monarchy, particularly the House of Habsburg. YMMV, though.

And really, when it comes to fascism, alleging fascists are rightwingers is nearly meaningless. It is perhaps instructive to consider that Soviet Russian propagandists, not wanting to have to explain to anybody how International Socialism -- Good, while National Socialism -- Bad, picked the distinctive term Hitlerites -- "Gitlerovtsy" -- for the Nazis.
