Yes, they controlled it. I basically said that. But they didn't own it. That is socialism (owning the means of production).

I agree that authoritarianism is very similar right vs left. Neither tolerate dissent, both can pass arbitrary laws at a whim (just by edict), subordination of the individual, etc. However, in the traditional left/right spectrum, fascism is far right. Again, from the wiki (with citations):

Fascism rose to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.[4][5] The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before spreading to other European countries, most notably Germany.[4] Fascism also had adherents outside of Europe.[6] Opposed to anarchism, democracy, pluralism, liberalism, socialism, and Marxism,[7][8] fascism is placed on the far-right wing within the traditional left'right spectrum.[4][8][9]
