Take what have been called the ‘far-right’ League of Polish Families. These are ‘christian nationalists’, with a nationalist pedigree that goes back to the nineteen thirties.

They sound like the 'Endecja.'

I don't find it confusing at all. Right and left haven't meant anything in the west for a long time. Republicans are supposed to be socially restrictive and fiscally liberal while Democrats are supposed to be socially liberal and fiscally restrictive. In other words both right and left in exactly opposite ways from each other.

In reality, both are big government supporters of restrictive policies both fiscal and social.

At least Polish voters have a choice of many different parties to chose from. US voters have only two choices, bad or worse and sometimes it is difficult to decide which is which.

It helps to break things up into social conservatism (such a pro-life) and free market economic or fiscal conservatism (free trade & privatization/small govt).
