The political spectrum is a circle - if you walk far enough to the right you end up on the left.

An all too common misconception due to a simplistic view of realpolitic.

It's a straight line!!

One end is an idealistic benevolent anarchy, the other end is the all-to-common absolute dictatorship, it makes no difference whether it calls itself communist or fascist.
Republicrats are in the middle, flanked by 19th century Liberals on the right, and 21th century Liberals on the left.

Fascists are not on the right!!
Nazi is an acronym for National Socialist Workers Party.

idealistic benevolent anarchy

I respectfully disagree - the ideal of the lunatic right seems pretty close to the lunacy of the cultural revolution in China or certain ideas of Trotsky. Hatred of the economically successful, a deep distrust of commerce, business and the market, and a strong desire to impose their "moral" values on their countrymen (or the world).
