Why do you call libertarians or social democrats “far right”? The term only has meaning within the context of the French Revolution when the Jacobins sat in the far left of the semicircular National Assembly. The monarchists and clericals sat on the far right. For those in the Jacobin tradition, e.g. Marx and his followers, anyone who was not in this “left” tradition was “right-wing”! The division of political positions into two is poor; see the more astute accounts of Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, Locke, Hume, and Montesquieu. It is ridiculous to call them “right-wing” or “left-wing.” In the scheme of Plato’s Republic, Bks. 8-9, the Jacobins, Marxists, etc. are tyrants with tyrannical souls who are furthest from the Ideal State with the rule of reason. (Plato has other schemes in the Statesman and the Laws.)
