re: #49 engineer dog

please be serious

jonah goldberg has published a very popular book where he equates liberalism with nazism

do you or don’t you agree?

I am on record about how I feel about that.

It is my belief that the political spectrum does not sit on a line, but is actually on a circle. The political center is at the bottom of the circle, and different ideoligies can be placed left or right of that spot. With the extreme left and extreme right meeting at the top in crazyville. That is where they share many views and traits.

I don’t think that it is ok to put Hitler squarely on the Left or Right. He had a lot in common with people like Mao, and Stalin certainly. But I would not easily lable him that way.
