I remember reading history in school and Nazi Germany was described as “far right.” That’s right, the socialist Nazis are far right. Subsequently, I learned this was started by professors at US universities because they didn’t want Nazism, which was leftist, to be associated with their move to the left. This is one of the most successful rebrandings in history.
The other successful rebranding by the Left, was making Vietnam “Nixon’s War”, instead of Kennedy and Johnson’s war.
Generally all nationalists were lumped together as “right-wingers” in political science when I was in college... regardless of actual underlying philosophy. Left-wingers enjoy puttingt people in boxes, it’s a means of control, even if the boxes are obviously inapt.
The same is true of the "January 6 riot." It was obviously not a "riot". It was a peaceful assembly of US citizens exercising their God given, Constitution recognized right to peaceable assembly, but the Propaganda Machine decreed that it was a "riot" and an "insurrection," and their slaves dutifully parroted it.
It happens every day--several times a day.
George Orwell nailed it: 1984. He foresaw exactly what was going to happen--and voila.
Another example is "liberal" and "progressive." There is NOTHING liberal or progressive about these people.
The 21st century has proven one thing beyond any doubt: Half the US population consists of useful idiots who are just plain stupid.

The NSDAP 25 points program. Lots of leftist stuff in it.
