Total government and no goverment is not everything. There are a couple of other issues (more important in this case) which set them on the far right. Those things have been clear since WW2. Just as things regarding communism and Stalinism on the left have been. I really don't know why some people have a hard time accepting that. After all, that doesn't mean they all agree with those extreme ideas, just as those on the left don't agree all with communism or Stalinism.

Well what are those things? Please be specific.

Just as things regarding communism and Stalinism on the left have been. I really don't know why some people have a hard time accepting that. After all, that doesn't mean they all agree with those extreme ideas, just as those on the left don't agree all with communism or Stalinism.

I made no implication that people in the middle of the spectrum 'agree with those on the extremes'. I see anarchy as extreme right, but I surely do not advocate anarchy.

I am simply looking for a logical spectrum and it is not logical to me to have big totalitarian governments on opposite ends. Many like you simply accept the conventional wisdom that the Nazis were 'right wing' but they can't tell me why they are right wing. Putting the Nazis on the right and the Commies on the left is like a pH scale with acid on both ends. It's not logical. Opposites should be opposite, not alike.
