Far left - far right is such a misnomer. It presents politics as a spectrum between these two extreme values. It's as if all politics should be mapped on this scale. However, historically communism and fascism were both collectivist and authoritarian - and also racist. They were actually just two competing teams of very similar ideas.
Today, "the left" is ideologically much closer to the historical far right and fascism. It's collectivist and authoritarian, while "the right" defends individuality and classical liberalism among other western values. I don't see nationalism so much, but rather defense of western culture and values.
