During the 1920′s and 1930′s, as the socialist movement grew and socialist control over the Democrat Party functional mechanisms, including propaganda (The press back then… now the MSM) organs there was a phony distinction drawn between Communism and other forms of Socialism (most especially corporate-statism better known as Fascism.)
The two movements were opposite sides of the same coin. Both label groups were methodologies of imposing state control on the general populace. There were few real differences between Fascism and Communism, most of them cosmetic, and none of them radical, except from where the power would emanate. Communism’s power base was Moscow. Fascism’s power base was less international, and hence National.
The false dichotomy was drawn over that conflict, and only that conflict. The fight was fundamentally one State Power Gang, fighting the OTHER State Power Gang.
RIGHT WING (in the very rare instance the term is correctly applied) refers to Monarchists, believers in traditional Divine Right rule. Ironically both extreme flavors of Socialism – and its middle ground state bureaucratic compromise – are enabled and organized on very similar social constructs and separations. In both there are rulers, nobles, freemen, and serfs. Of course the opulence of the Romanov Family and the Boyars could never compare to the cheap smarmy classless Secretariat and Politburo of Tsarist Russia versus the Soviet Union. The fundamental operation remains largely the same, however.
Where does that lead us? Well the truth, actually. Because the American “Right” is the social movement of electoral republican Constitutional self-governance. It is equally opposed to the 9:00 to midnight shift of Monarchy, and the midnight to 3:00 shift of various forms of state socialist dictatorship.
Since Woodrow Wilson became the first Fascist leader of the Western world, the American Democrat Party has occupied the 3:30 position on the clock. It seems that The One is seeking to drive the clock backwards to a 2:00 position where he can comfortably live and dictate over a peasantry that is mollified by stipends and stupefied by state run media.
