Khandro has hinted at what I am sure I posted a little while back. The political spectrum is not a flat line with the 'far right' at one end and the 'far left' at the other. We must think of it more of a complete circle. Take that flat line that I described, now bend it into a complete circle. The two extremes meet perfectly, together, indistinguishable from each other, of the same type, but giving themselves different labels to confuse the unwary. They display the same traits and use the same methods of 'persuasion' their aims are the same. Total power and brook no opposition. Despicable all of them, they would take away your democracy in the name of idealism.
