I think insofar as s0me0nesmind1 has any point at all, it's simply the usual one that the full-on-fascist right has some elements of quasi 'socialist' thinking within it. That's always been the case, from the Strasser brothers to Mosely. Hitler and Mussolini both used those elements to attract working-class support (though Hitler then murdered them all when they became an obstacle to gaining the support of the capitalist and aristocrat classes).
But it doesn't mean much, because what those guys occasionally might _say_ and what they functionally _are_ are two quite different things. And those same elements are very clearly present in the increasingly mainstream Trumpian right, especially in the US. The current global climate seems to be all about the right moving in that direction, partly as a concequence of their own previous 'free-market' obsessions. Its obvious where the potential support for the racist far right is now, and it's not within 'the left'.
I think it's a horrible irony that the neo-liberal movement was partly motivated by the reaction against the totalitarianism of the '30s, embracing an obsession with pure 'free markets', supposedly as a means to avoid that happening again...only for that very free-market fixation (which rapidly morphed from an opposition to communism to a war on social-democracy) to lead directly to a resurgance of the very thing they thought they were averting.
