At the extremes, extreme "right" and extreme "left" turn into the same thing. Thats part of the reason the "left-right" political spectrum is a flawed anaology. Correctly, one should rate competeing models of governence on the "More - Less" scale, depending on hte amount of governemnt interference/involvement in an average citizen's day to day existence. For example, the United States * USED * to be a "constitutionally limited republic", which, on the "More - Less" scale is just to the "more" side of anarchy. For a counter example of the "Left - Right" model, Nazism and Italian Fascism were considered to be "extreme right", and Soviet Communism was considered "extreme left", yet they were ALL socilaist, and ALL of them would line you up agaisnt the wall and put a bullet in your head for being an "...enemy of the state". So down at the practical why-are-you-executing-me level, they were the same, and would be far to the "more" side on the "More - Less" cale, more or less.
