"Show me any economic philosophy that survives communism, fascism, or socialism."

The left does not care. They want things to be destroyed.

People often look at the political spectrum and see Leftists and Communism on one side, and at the complete and opposite end, Rightists and Nazism on the other.

I think that is a completely inaccurate way of looking at the ideological spectrum.

I believe the view that it is total anarchy (no government) at one end, and at the complete and opposite end, is total and tyrannical government.

In this model, the Communists and Nazis are clustered together, even overlapping near to the end of the total and tyrannical government. Constitutional Republics like ours (or, what ours used to be) are found in the left of center or right of center. Libertarians (at least the old school ones) would be found closer to the anarchical end.

This interpretation makes sense to me, but it also made sense to both Communists and Nazis in the years leading up to WWII. They found on both the Communist and Nazi sides that they weren’t that far apart from each other, and the other side was fertile ground for converts.
