idealistic benevolent anarchy

I respectfully disagree - the ideal of the lunatic right seems pretty close to the lunacy of the cultural revolution in China or certain ideas of Trotsky. Hatred of the economically successful, a deep distrust of commerce, business and the market, and a strong desire to impose their "moral" values on their countrymen (or the world).

I will try to simplify:

Far right: Maximum individual freedom.
Far left: No personal freedom, all love Big Brother - May he smile on you and give you peace with your Big Mac.

As you may know, "right" and "left" refered to opposite sides of the 19th century French parliment, terms now out of date. "Free" and "slave" now seem to be more appropriate.
