Left and Right
Tom Brosz — (archived)

The attempt to paint German National Socialism as some sort of "far right" was a desperate attempt after WW2 by American and European Communists to distance themselves from the horror of the ovens (the fact that Stalin killed far more of his countrymen than Hitler did, if not so grotesquely, was completely suppressed for years). Stalin and Hitler were for all intents and purposes identical, and the fact that they were at war with each other does not mean they were political opposites. It has no more moral significance than the Crips and the Bloods fighting over turf.

Adolph Hitler was a socialist and collectivist, believing in the supremacy of the group and the State over the individual. His actions were the inevitable result of any system which believes that the individual exists only to serve the group.

Or maybe Pol Pot was a right-winger too?
