Tbf, they aren't. They are in a league of their own. The Founders of the USA were "leftists", so were the Jacobins, as opposed to the right-wing that was pro-monarchy, pro-aristocracy (as I am). The modern mob of whatever the fuck it is, is totally off all charts. They are just a rabid mob that wants to install itself at the head of a state and try to run some sort of democratic pedo-Idiocracy. That's about it.

The issue is even trying to use just one axis. It perpetually sucks us into debating nonsense.

The European "Nazi-to-Communist" axis, is you look, is entirely statist. The "Right" there just likes controlling the big businesses via the government, instead of the government controlling everything directly. They love the control.

This is how you had so many RINOs, Never Trumpers etc - Trump wasn't "Way out to the Right" (although that was the screaming), he was off the normal statist axis entirely.

Yes, pretty accurate. That is one reason we are in a time in history when a new political philosophy ought to be worked out. And it will be, regardless of what anyone thinks or wants, it's just that time in history.
