You're right though, fascism and authoritarian socialism obviously have a lot in common, and there are fascist ideologies that are no less fascist for being economically left-wing (Strasserism, NazBol...).

“Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon — authoritarian means, if such there be at all; and if the victorious party does not want to have fought in vain, it must maintain this rule by means of the terror which its arms inspire in the reactionists. Would the Paris Commune have lasted a single day if it had not made use of this authority of the armed people against the bourgeois? Should we not, on the contrary, reproach it for not having used it freely enough?” - Engels, “On Authority” (1872)

That is of course a somewhat controversial piece of writing, especially for the anarchists. I’ve been listening to C. Derick Varn’s youtube series breaking down this fucking massive critique of “On Authority” published online just late last year
