actually lassiez faire is socially liberal, not centerist. Fascism is neither right or left, but actually in extreme opposition to (the equally extreme) laissez faire or Libertarian. (It's not the same scale as the economic left-right scale). You are making the mistake of equating Fascism (a social creation) with Collectivism/Communism (an economic structure). Communism's reciprocal entity is Libertarianism (not to be confused with Libertarian the social structure) where there is virtually no governmental control and everyone pretty much fends for themselves economically (a sort of economic Darwinism, I suppose.) Didn't mean to jump on you Fuzy, just trying to clear things up.
