The right believes in smaller government, and many personal freedoms.
The left believes in larger government, and few personal freedoms.

That’s really all that needs to be said. So of course the National Socialists were leftists. But they had fancy military uniforms. That’s the excuse used to classify them as right-wing.

Putting all these ideas together in one pot is an intellectual pursuit the public is not ready for. Trump is too busy slaying these dragons. Perhaps if JD Vance moves up the public will be more open to hearing it as they’ll be more ready to understand and Vance is more articulate.

Getting rid of rinos now will help.

Well obviously that wasn't *real* socialism, because Stalin was against it after he was for it after he was against it.

Right?

In a free market country, you’re allowed to live as a socialist if you want.

But in a socialist country, you’re not allowed to live as a free marketeer.

That right there should tell you which is a better and more desirable system.

…all played a very UNsurprising role in the Holocaust… because you would have to be quite ignorant to be surprised by this.

Left-Right is a WWII-era Communist invention putting totalitarians on both ends to confuse the issues.

Keep it simple with Up-Down - with the undesirable extremes of Hard Up being total government and Hard Down being anarchy.

Using this scale, it is very clear that Communists, Nazis, and modern Democrats are spiritual kindred souls - and very Hard Up. :)
