....Historians, political scientists, and other scholars have long debated the exact nature of fascism. [27][ page needed] Historian Ian Kershaw once wrote that "trying to define 'fascism' is like trying to nail jelly to the wall." [28] Each different group described as fascist has at least some unique elements, and many definitions of fascism have been criticized as either too broad or too narrow. [29] According to many scholars, fascism—especially once in power—has historically attacked communism, conservatism, and parliamentary liberalism, attracting support primarily from the far-right.

But most all of the historical examples are of a right wing nature (I would argue that defining right and left wing extremism also leaves jelly stains on said wall). Putin, Xi, and Kim are possible examples of purportedly left wing fascism, though Marx wouldn't recognize any of them as following his philosophy. The US fascism that is trying to emerge is IMO, a right wing corporate oligarchy variety.
