Yet, we call the nazi regime in Germany ultra-right wing even though a lot of the core-ideas are very "left wing" by todays arbitrary definitions:
* Government control over banking and industry
* Government control over education
* Government control over media
* Government control over healthcare and social security
Like someone already mentioned: it's all in the perspective. Back in the 1920, the labels were not "left" or "right", it was "Bolschevism" vs "Fascism". "Left" and "Right" are modern-day re-definitions. Time to drop them alltogether.
What's this "We" stuff Kemosabe ?
When someone can point to another nation with a goverment similar to our 3 branch system and our Constitutional protection of personal liberties and limits on the powers of government, I’ll accept a “global” definition of “Left” and “Right”.
Otherwise there is no foreign example of what in America is called “right wing”.
If Bolschevism is "left" and Fascism is "right", we're talking about two sides of a single coin.
And we, the constitutionalists, the classic liberal "conservatives" are no where on any continuum between the two.
We are a different creature altogether.
The idea that the Fascists were “right wing” is a very successful propaganda meme from the Left in the post-WWII era. The far Left of the pre- and early-WWII era had been OK with the Nazis, as the Nazis and the Soviets were allies up until 1941, and any friend of the Soviets was a friend of our far Left.
The reality is there wasn’t a nickel’s difference between them, and people with a clue in that era knew it. See the third quote on my FR profile page, the two-paragraph one by Hayek, regarding this.
