Radical leftists who became radical rightists.

My AP government teacher, lo those many years ago, introduced me to the idea that the political spectrum isn’t so much a straight line as it is a horseshoe. The far left and far right, Leninism and fascism (for lack of better terms), while based on very different philosophical differences, on a day to day basis, are basically the same thing. So it’s probably easier to go from extreme left to extreme right, or vice versa, than it is to go from either of them to the middle where most of us live.
