Mussolini started fascism??... In the early 20th century?? one of the more bizarre claims I've heard on here, and that's saying something. It's the first time it was defined in a modern context but there are plenty of historical examples of totalitarianism.

Other than that I get where your confusion is coming from because fascism is heavily linked to nationalism... However, nationalism and socialism are not the same thing, and it is perfectly possible to be a right wing nationalist, just as it is possible to be a left wing libertarian. They're not the same scale.
