So I was bored and decided to browse through Wikipedia. I read the page on collectivism, and saw that the article was written in such a way as to portray Jospef Stalin as a right winger, along with the usual portrayal of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini as right wingers. Naturally, Stalinism is also considered right wing along with National Socialism and Fascism.

Now I know that Wikipedia is never the best source (there is a reason that the more reputable schools do not permit it as a source) but this deflection of historical fact is just BS.
Collectivism is any ideology that strips individuals of rights for a greater good.
All forms of communism strip individual rights and private property rights for the greater good of the proletariat.
National Socialism stripped individual rights for the greater good of the country, while the means of production were tightly controlled.
Benito Mussolini's Fascism pioneered the modern day concept of group rights: these groups, most often unions (Fascism is a variant of Syndicalism), were considered "corporations" and have no resemblance to modern day private business.
