extreme right = left

Political compass has an interesting analysis. It rejects the usual one dimensional left-right axis which sees communism and fascism as polar opposites. Instead, it creates a 2 dimensional system. The 2 axis are economic (with communism and neo-liberalism as polar opposites) and social (where fascism and libertarianism are polar opposites).
Very interesting to note that the socalled 'extreme right' BNP in Britain is to the left of all three 'mainstream' largest parties (Labour, LibDems, Conservatives).
The same is true in Germany for the NPD and the DVU, they are economically to the left of SPD, CDU and FDP.
In France, the same picture. The Front National is economically to the left of both the UMP and the socialist party. It even puts Hitler's NSDAP to the left of most large modern day mainstream parties and there is something to be said for that. The NSDAP advocated a degree of state control and welfare programs (though not for everyone, but welfare programs nonetheless)that few modern day parties even dare to contemplate.
Food for thought, extreme right = left. -

Your argumentation is like saying that mountain-bikes are polluting the environment because they are having wheels too. Or every airplane lays eggs like birds because they have wings.
I can't believe that you are serious about your argument. Because you individuate (or believe to individuate) one similarity between two things (having wings), doesn't mean at all that they are the same (plane=bird). Even small children are able to realise this. They can realise the difference between a cat and a dog after someone explained them. They do not insist that "this" is one and the same animal because it has 4 legs.
Before hearing more of your theories, I close the discussion.
