Of course, I do not believe in having everyone who is a liberal called a communist, or everyone who is conservative called a fascist.
Politics swings like a pendulum.
While Corbyn would not enjoy the comparison, he and Farage are the same beast - with very different heads.
I do not believe that our place is at the comfortable mid-point between the extremes of left and right.
Ideas came with explosive immediacy, like an instant birth. Human thought is like a monstrous pendulum; it keeps swinging from one extreme to the other.
As I've said repeatedly, Republicans are very good at describing things in black and white; Democrats are very good at describing the 11 shades of gray.
We find just as many things to rip on the left as we do on the right. People on the far-left and the far-right are the same exact person to us.
The far right and the far left can be equally insane.
I don't for a minute think that Hitler is like Joan of Arc. But I think that at that deep level of tropisms, Hitler or Stalin must have experienced the same tropisms as anyone else.
Historically, the pull towards the center in European politics has been incredibly powerful. From Italy to Germany, it has been almost impossible for non-centrist forces to obtain real influence.
The political system loves the extremes, it doesn't so much show a lot love for the moderates.
Liberal and conservative have lost their meaning in America. I represent the distracted center.
I have equal contempt for both left and right radicals.
