That isn't the thesis. It's that fascism is politically centrist.

There is no meaningful sense in which fascism is politically centrist unless retroactively applied from the vantage point of facile Reaganism Nazis, need I remind you, sat on the far Right of the Weimar parliament

The point is that the Weimar Republic was characterized by raging leftism.

The centrist is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a fascist, socialist, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a centrist and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out.”
