For what it's worth the American liberal party is at best centrist.

That’s only true if you are Eurocentric and have forgotten about all the authoritarian nations
-
By that logic the existence of fascists make the actual conservatives left wing. Extremists don't move the center point.

No it does not. It means you have confused Conservatism for an ideology in and of itself rather than a position on an ideological spectrum. If you tell me you believe in liberalism you are actually telling me the kind of government and economy you endorse much like if you claimed to be a Marxist Leninist. If you say you are “conservative” you need a noun for that adjective.
Liberalism is traditionally the beginning of the left as the left outside of Europe. The whole bit about how leftism is anti-capitalist is Eurocentric

I hope you are trolling, because I'm barely able to scratch enough sense out of it to approximate an argument.

That sounds like you have a skill issue then or you are so Eurocentric in your perspective that you cannot see it.
