>>Italy is about to elect the single most rightwing government in the entire Western world.”<<
That is great. Hope it happens.
Outside of the US, “right wing” doesn’t mean Conservative Republicans. It’s a rival form of socialism. The Nazis were “right wing”.
(fascism)

Right and left wing mean nothing. Nazi stands for “National Socialism” and has been painted as “right wing” to demonize conservatives. I ditched using the “right/left” designation years ago as it means nothing. Conservative and liberal don’t mean anything either.
How about “people standing for justice, truth and decency” and “evil people turning the world into hell”?
I note that Communists never use the term "Nazi", they always use "Fascist", because they know that "Nazi" stands for "National Socialist.
True, but they are the "right wing" of the left.
Government schools use the circular (European) political map which is a lie, with both totalitarian communism and fascism next to each other at the bottom of the circle....and moderates (socialists) at the top. They don't have radical American Constitutional Conservatives in Europe.
There is a better map which includes American politics, straight line with all the European tyrannies in descending order on the left, moderation in the center and total freedom (anarchy) on the far right.
American Conservatism would be just to the left of anarchy.
How about “people standing for justice, truth and decency” and “evil people turning the world into hell”?
Well, I don't think you're going to find anything most people consider "the left" standing for "justice, truth and decency”.
