I once read a book by an anti-terrorism expert and fiction writer who goes by the pen name of Gayle Rivers. He wrote (I’m paraphrasing), that “imagine the political spectrum as a line, where the far-right and far-left exist at opposite ends of the line. But when the line is bent into a circle, the two extremes meet.” What he meant is that when it comes down to each, the far right and left have the same twisted agendas. They’re both anti-semetic and often nationalist in a socialistic way. I think the key is to recognize who occupies the fars ends. It does not appear to me that Geert Wilders party is so much far right as the Bristish Nationalist Party is in fact far left and anti-semetic.
