Do some research on the political spectrum and its continuum. It is NOT LINEAR. The political extremes are fundamentally different but functionally the same. Hitler was a communist, espousing the idea of equality. Mussolini was a fascist, espousing the power of a police state over individual sovereignty.

Amazing! I didn’t think anyone still bought into that. I am almost 69 and I was seeing that “political circle” stuff where you go to the right until you come back to the left and vice versa when I was a kid. I really thought its day was over.
The only thing that counts to me is whether someone believes in human freedom or they don’t. That IS linear and Hitler and Mussolini are both on the same end of the spectrum as Obama, no belief in freedom regardless of what they may have said or still say. Whatever Hitler espoused is of no matter, he most certainly did NOT DEFEND OR PROMOTE equality.
I always remember the rule from “ANIMAL FARM”, “All animals are equal but pigs are more equal”, Hitler and Mussolini along with a host of others were pigs.
