There are a variety of colors in every political spectrum ever constructed, be they left, right or center. What is tiresome is the painting of ONE ideology in history as either 100%, this or that. In those cases, you will be confronted with a tit for tat valid argument, by either side. Truth of the matter is, both Hitler and Mussolini had borrowed/took more from the right than they did from the left. The NEED to buy into the neocon or neolib, all or nothing labels of today, plays into the politically correct/politically incorrect side more than the intellectually correct/intellectually incorrect side.

Personally, I consider myself a Progressive Libertarian, neither 100% Progressive or 100% Libertarian. I'm a bit embarrassed for you Larry, trying to paint Mussolini as a lefty. He was definitely more righty than lefty, as was Hitler. Judge them more by their actions, than by the labels they hid behind. Tyrants come to power, by hiding behind the populist flavor of the age they live in.
