Actually, Mussolini would then have to be called centre. The median voter was with him. Some threats probably ensured that it was so, of course.
Somehow, I rarely see Chavez described as a centre politician. Yet he is spot on where the median voter is, in his country. Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Gandhi
