National Socialist = Right Authoritarian.
Marxist / Leninist Socialist = Left Authoritarian.

Left and Right is too simplistic.

Quoted for truth.

Glenn Beck makes an interesting point about this (and I by no means think everything he says is worthwhile). The debate, maybe until the early 20th century, in this country was not about a continuum from left to right, it was about a continuum between complete government weakness (anarchy) and complete government control (fascism, communism, nazism, etc.). Both the hard left and the hard right have pushed for greater government control.

And on topic—the country is a better place with this scumbag dead.
