Right-wing means less government, not more.

Prager has this backwards.

Americans who want less government are NOT "right wing".

Think of the political spectrum not as a line, but as a circle. Go far enough left and you meet the right, and vice versa

Nazism and Communism are just two sides of the same evil coin.

I believe your assertion is incorrect. The reason the reference to political positions is left and right and not degrees in a circle is that the left never meets the right. Once the left reaches 100% government control they can’t go any further left. Once the right reaches 0% government control they can’t go any further right.

A more accurate political spectrum will show government having zero power on the far right to having 100% power on the far left. At the extreme right, there is no government. The extreme left features total government under such labels as Communism, Socialism, Nazism, Fascism, Princes, Potentates, Dictators, Kings, any form of total government.

Towards the middle of the political spectrum is the type of government limited to its proper role of protecting the rights of the people. That’s where the Constitution of the United States is. Those who advocate such a form of government are constitutional moderates.
