Here is something to think about, although we rarely see it here: in the 70s an Italian political scientist postulated that the political spectrum was actually a circle, not a line (with left and right). It was based on voting patterns in the Italian parliament, where often, the communists and the fascists (the assumption here being that the fascists are “right” wing) voted together— but for different reasons. The only time I have seen it here was on bi-lingual education in California in the late 70s. The left supported it as “sensitive to the needs of Hispanic children.” The right supported it because it created a permanent underclass to work the fields!

I see what you are saying, yeah. I don’t really get the underclass part because english education means better job opps in the future... am I missing something?
