Far-left definitely isn't that - "we're gonna make sure everyone's needs are met" is literally a general leftist thing. Assuming you're trying to portray tankies and fascists, a more accurate depiction would be "we're gonna make sure working class needs are met with an iron fist and extermination of anyone potentially rebellious".
That being said, holy shit there are so many bad takes in this thread
To everyone upvoting this: you're agreeing with the take of a guy saying "fascism can be both described as left and right wing and it wants to ensure the needs of the working people"
Edit: confused the above commenter with another user. Ignore this comment.
By definition, fascism is always far-right.
That's not to say there aren't dictators within the left wing though. It's more of a common treat in Latin America and Asia.
