Economic views has been the left/right standard for centuries.
JUST. F.U.C.K.I.N.G. NO.
It wasn't what defined them in the first place in the National Assembly of the French Revolution where it originated, and still isn't enough anywhere except for political maniacs or dumbasses like you seem to be.

Yes ! Gary Johnson AND Joseph Stalin ARE right-wingers for f**k's sake.

However, in the context of this forum I would call fascism left wing. It is certainly to the right of communism and most forms of socialism, but it is still a left leaning ideology.
In the context of this forum, I will just call the ice liquid, chlorophyllia red, haggis a dessert, the Earth flat, and your account ignored from now on.

Personally, the only thing determining left vs. right for me is where you're seated relative to the speaker.

Hitler was Far-Right and Stalin was Far-Left both are equally evil tyrants who believe in complete government control the only differences is Fascism/Nazism is of the Far-Right and Communism is of the Far-Left both are evil disgusting ideologies. Its that simple.

To me, far left and center left politics are differing degrees of the same belief, whereas center right and far right politics are two different creatures that cannot be reconciled.

I think it depends on the type of far-left you're talking about. If you mean Libertarian Socialism/Anarcho-Communism or whatever you want to call it, then yes I think that's a different degree of the belief chain running from Left-Liberalism->Social Democracy->Democratic Socialism->etc. But if you mean authoritarian communism (Stalinism or Maoism for example), then no, I think that is a completely different belief system than the modern (at least developed world) "center-left".
