Duh.
The terms "left" and "right" originated in France and do not mean what most American conservatives think they do. The "right" in France (the original right) was collectivistic and statist--only royalist and traditionalist rather than revolutionary and pro-decadence.
It was a mineteenth century French right winger who said "the invividual is nothing; society is everything."
American conservative hero Frederic Bastiat was considered a leftist in nineteenth century France.
Also consider that Carto supported George Wallace, George Hansen, Sam Ervin, and many conservative politicians, and too many conservative politicians accepted that support.
The idea that the left comprises all socialists and the right is 100% anti-socialist is a bit of propaganda by the John Birch Society too fool decent conservatives.
It’s better to use the term “statist” to describe a person who supports there being an all-powerful State. Thus, Communists, Nazis, Fascists, etc are all statists.
