Fascism is only conservative in the sense that Mussolini looked to the Roman Empire for inspiration and this sense of looking back to the empire and desiring to restart it has been going on since the Western Empire crumbled. Politically though, Fascism was a liberal socialist political and economic system supported by the American left wing progressives and the labor movement until it became apparent that it was truly antithetical to American interests and that war was inevitable. This was made easier to swallow for the American left when the National Socialist (note socialist) allies of the Italian fascists betrayed uncle Joe and invaded the Soviet union. History is fun. Hmm. First post here and I'm lecturing on history. Well, I was hired to teach English so I have to let the History teacher out somewhere.
