"Bolschevism" vs "Fascism"

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.

Total state control and ownership(communism) = all the way left. Anarchism = all the way to the right

When you get to the likc long, there is no difference between Bolschevism and Fascism, other than under fascism there is nominal personal ownership (at the behest of the party).

Both want state control of the person. The person to serve the State.

The Nazis were very much socialists, but racist socialists -— bit like the Congressional Black Caucus.

The “left” and “right” ideas are stupid.

A true political spectrum probably goes Anarchy, Pure Libertarian, Federalists, Nanny-Stater Right, Nanny-Stater Left, Socialist (from Canada to whatever), Fascist (From Spain, to Italy, to Germany in degrees), Communist (from Yugoslavia to North Korea in degrees), True Totalitarian (Turkmenistan, Sharia).

I hit squarely on the Federalist point of the spectrum. Enough control for a civil society and little more. Let each state decide where it needs to be.
