On the other hand, socialists have a vision of an ideal person which in most cases is at odds with nature: sex and gender are fluid, families are to be discouraged, the insane are just fine.
I think this is why fascism still appeals to those on the far right: they are willing to sacrifice some economic and social freedom in exchange for being able to live lives like their forefathers. Socialism appeals to the left because they tend to be malcontents who don't fit in with society and want to see it trashed and replaced by anything else, especially if that anything else glorifies oddity and perversion.
Humans are not merely homo economicus. There are lots of people who would be happy being assigned a career if the rest of their days could be filled with activities concordant with natural human behavior: getting married, having kids, going to ball games, joining local clubs, supporting the local community, etc.
The only people that would be happy in a socialist country would be the pervs at the bottom and the bureaucrats at the top who would be necessary to keep the country from collapsing from all of the antisocial behavior of the populace.
Neither is good, but they are not the same type of bad.
Hitler wanted to transform German Culture into a classless society, with the only ones on top being members of the Party. He despised German Culture, and wanted it replaced.
Just as these fascists are trying to impose a new society on this country.
If anything Hitler despised “Prussian Privilege”, and those generals all with those ‘vons’ in their names.
So a group of socialist thinkers branched out and dreamed up fascism which created a form of socialism that had elements of nationalism. Those socialists became persona non grata with the socialists that remained on the left and were considered from then on to be rightists.
In Italy Catholicism was a major part of the culture, but Mussolini repressed it as much as he could because he considered it a threat to his power. I think Mussolini was trying to reassert Roman rather than Roman Catholic culture.
It's most likely the case that in order for fascists to gain power they have to rally around the nation's flag, but once they gain power they start to see that the culture gets in the way of their plans and needs to be quashed.
When Stalin got into trouble and needed the support of the people he governed more like a fascist than a socialist, but reverted to socialist once the war was won.
Stalin was a dictator. But he realized that selling socialism abroad was a good way to increase his own power, not because he actually believed in it himself.

Thats what Rumble said in its law suit against Google (which owns YOUtube).
You caught it right here.
You are so far off its not worth continuing - Hitler and Nazism’ Mussolini and Fascism are on the far left not on the right - unless you consider Nazism right of communism. Quibble about definitions all you please, it will change nothing. Wake up and smell the blood.
You evidently have never had any real experience with real life communists/Russians or you would know better.
There is no one, no one happy in any real socialist country. That’s just poppycock
All roads of socialism lead to communism - there is no off ramp
