Greatly depends on whose political spectrum you use. Many modern place Communism and Fascism on the ends of the spectrum. However, following the named groups of thought along the spectrum's axis this 'modern' or 'currently defined' version seems false.
Using the logic of the 'Names' applied to a spectrum, the following is a good version:
Totalitarian - Progressive - Liberal - Moderate - Conservative - Libertarian - Anarchist
Commies, Fascists, Socialists, Kingdoms are all Far Left, where totalitarian governments direct the economic, social, and political facets of life.
Anarchism devolves to "You're on your own" with few boundaries.

Look at the number of EOs that have been put in place by Biden. EOs circumvent Congress, they are essentially a loophole the executive branch has to bypass an uncooperative Congress. Trump set the stage for this
WRONG:
Obama Had 364
Trump had 220
Biden has 25 in 10 days
Trump had the fewest of the last 5 presidents.

Nothing about Fascism is far right. Anyone who makes such a claim can be dismissed.
The hallmark of Fascism is in an in crowd and a scapegoat group whom society's failings are projected on.
There is also a perversion of capitalism that removes the free exchange component and replaces it with authoritarian edicts which require compliance from the populace.
From Obamacareto big tech to governance through EO, all the current fascist policies of our government come from the left.

You are viewing the free market from a free POV. If a government only allows sale and purchase of x,y,z; then x, y, z are the only products available. It's not a true free market from our POV, but from the POV of the folks who trade x, y, z, it is a free market, within their space.
Again, That is objectively not a free market. That is a regulated market or planned economy. The beauty of a free market, though not without its faults, is that it is inherently self-regulating. It is a very rare circumstance in which a third party would do a better job of regulating the market than the market would do itself.
You can always spin a narrative to rationalize it in different points of view (See counter culture). That doesn't change objective truth.

Or I question accepted truths, or I have viewed the landscape from a different perspective than you have.
I too question accepted truths. However, I search out objective truth, regardless of perspective, emotion, biases, etc. Admittedly, not an easy task as requires constant questioning, steelmanning and analysis of your own thoughts and beliefs.
