American leftists have to understand that they cannot win. They are considered right wingers by their international counterparts and would be executed along with the rest of us if there was ever a victory of international socialism over Amerika.

This illustrates a point I've often made. The term "right-wing" means extremely different things in Europe and the US. In Europe, all political points of view are "left-wing" by American standards. The European left-wing is international socialists, while their right-wing are nationalist socialists. The American "right-wing" philosophy of limited government individualism doesn't appear at all in Europe. Both sides of the Atlantic use a "left-wing/right-wing" axis to measure their political differences, but it isn't the same axis in both places. In fact, I believe the US axis is actually orthogonal to the European one (The entire European polity, regardless of their position on the European axis, are left-wing on the American axis).
