The notion that the left-right model informs in any way is fallacious. Big, powerful government is dictatorial, collectivist, and plutocratic whether it be called National Socialism, Soviet Socialism, Sino-Socialism, Italian Fascism, Baathist Socialism or any other such name. Such a government wages war even on its own peoples. Small, weak government is the opposite, stresses freedom and individuality.
To imagine that the far-left and far-right are somehow “neighbors” twists the notion of left and right into the pretzel it always was. Strip government of much of its powers except to protect its people, and there is no attack on its own, whether of one religion or another.
Big government interferes with lives, markets and individual values, amasses unsustainable debts and rages against liberty. Smaller government follows the old adage of live and lets live. Take you pick.
But do not pick one flavor of big government and think that this is somehow different from another. Recall the history of the von Ribbentrop pac, wherein National Socialism and Soviet Socialism waged peace — before they waged war.
