Regarding Card, yeah. I mean, I'd word it differently from you, but I think we agree.
The Ender's Game series collectively are constantly looking at fascistic themes. And these are invariably brought up for the purpose of looking at the drawbacks of that worldview. (Although they're occasionally sympathetic to the virtues of that worldview, too.)
The main way that Card is demonstrably "right-wing" or "reactionary" is that he has an abiding sympathy for the social mores of the religious right -- but even there, he does a lot of second-guessing himself too.
But far-right or fascistic? Hah.
