From what I've seen, they may claim to be far left, but act more like far right.
And I get that if you go far enough one way you come out on the other end.
I think that's just a misleading artifact of trying to describe everything with one dimension.
Fair enough
The far left and far right are often more similar than the names imply. This makes sense when you realise they are both fishing in the same pond of disgruntled people at the fringes of society (though of course not exclusively). For many, it is more about being angry at the world than it is about standing for either ideology.
Fair enough, hadn't really thought of it that way before. Thanks for the insight.
