In that case the world should be divided into countries for right wingers and countries for left wingers. Total right wing domination would lead to violence and instability. Be carefull what you wish for, you might get it.

Where is your evidence for this assertion. Also could you not say the same thing about countries with total left-wing domination, e.g the Soviet Union, Communist China, Zimbabwe, North Korea, Vietnam etc

Those countries aren't left-wing.
For the left, the society is more important than the individuals. Clearly, those dictators care more about them than the society. They try to hide themselves in left-wing clothes, but we aren't dumb and see through them.

Forgive me for making this observation, but aren't playing up class warfare, five year plans, collectivisation, the planned economy, wholesale nationalisation, the suppression of all religious belief and stamping upon free enterprise all rather left wing?

e.g Germany circa 1940

True. However, Nazi Germany is an interesting case. Notice that the Nazi Party was the National Socialist German Workers Party. I can't really imagine a right-wing party with a name like that. It effectively shared many of same beliefs on economic management as the socialists, only it defined the "great struggle" as being between races rather than classes. In essence it's the same as modern "far-right" parties like the BNP, and Front Nationale, which are in reality left-wing nationalist parties. These parties oppose globalization e.g. Free Trade, international corporations etc, as they see it as a threat to the nation. Therefore you could easily argue that these "far-right" parties, and the Nazi's, are actually either left-wing parties, or that they don't fit into either category.

Al, you really didn't need to bother considering the kind of person who said that.

That kind of person being who? Although Comrade Sibboleth has convinced me that Hitler's policies weren't particularly left-wing. However I dispute that Hitler carried out a "right wing" economic policy. One of Hitlers Ministers of Economics, Hjalmar Schacht, left the Government due to Hitler's support for policies such as increased spending, protectionism, and government intervention in the economy. These are all noticeable left-wing economic principles (I doubt Hitler imposed tariffs to help business).
