But you are wrong about the spectrum’s circular nature. You misunderstand it intentionally.

Yeah, because I'm an American, not some Eurofilth socialist.

There is no "far right" or "far left" on a circle, but there is on a clearly delineated line graph. My socialist social-studies teacher tried to sell me that concept in high-school. There is also no place on that circle for US Constitutional conservatives.

the sane guy, could have easily posted here and you would have agreed with his posts.

No, I wouldn't!

Anyone that admires Hitler has my deepest visceral abhorence. My family came here to escape that murdering psycho, and in fact we lost people to the camps.

My family immigrated in 1923 after the Russians invaded Georgia.

The far right and far left are indeed on the circle graph. The problem is that you are looking a circle and trying to define it in a linear way.

Let's do a experiment.... There are dozens of circular graphs published, so take the one you find less objectionable and cut it at the top of the circle where the far left and far right meet. You will then have your linear line graph. It's the same damn thing, but the major difference is that at the extremes the circular graph shows that the extremists may share some of the same goals. But not the same labels..

As do I, but that is not necessarily a political view from any non-American or European. The American left does not claim him either. This is a great example of what I am talking about.

As you have certainly read articles posted here about the Ukraine conflicts, you would know that there are paramilitary right wing groups fighting the Russian backed incursions.

These right wing groups are called right wing because they admire and place Hitler in a high position in their history. They too hate communists, the left, and their ancestors fought them in the name of Hitler.

So you see, politics may be a bit more complicated then just right and left as a American might see it.
