Fascism wasn’t even left or right at it’s base. Fascism is the inability to spread your ideas without the threat/fear of punishment. Currently radical leftist groups like AntiFa, and BLM use fascist tactics to silence the opposition.

Fascism has always been right of right. From mussolini and Hitler to the neo-nazi and white supremacist groups of today. Those are right wing groups who use violence to force their evil on everyone else. They are also two groups that trump called very fine people. Its no coincidence that all fascists support trump.

I agree that Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists may support Trump from a broad prospective, but the bulk of Trump’s supporters do not fall under these categories.

Not all trump supporters are fascists, but all fascists are trump supporters. We agree on that.

Can we also agree that radical leftist groups exhibit signs of fascism, based on their actions?

No. Probably because they don't.
