Its an ok definition, maybe even a pretty good one. The "traditional left-right spectrum" breaks down at the extremes with facism and communism being more like each other than they are like liberal capitalist democratic systems, but the definition is correct when it says that fascism is "is usually considered to be on the far right". The definition is correct when it points out that fascism is anti-democratic, isn't a big fan of the free market ("blames capitalism" ... "superior to both the rampant individualism of unrestrained capitalism"). Fascism is not even close to the complete opposite of Marxian socialism, except in rather narrow ways, but its adherents sometimes fancy themselves as being that.

It also correctly points out that fascists seek to establish "significant government control over business and labour". Which is of course a very different thing than business and labor establishing control over the government.
