The claim you quoted said "left-wing", it didn't say "Socialist".
And the parts that you didn't quote mentioned that fascism did sometimes describe as a mixture of both left-wing and right-wing ideas, just like "National Socialism" included the word "National" to appeal to right-wing nationalists, and "Socialism" to appeal to left-wingers.
If you want to make a rebuttal to my actual claim, find a place where Nazism or Fascism describes itself as "left-wing" -- just left-wing, not "a response to both left and right" or "a synthesis of both left and right", or indeed "National Socialist".
Nationalism is not limited to the right. Depending the time and place nationalism can be either right or left wing.
