Wrong, wrong, utterly wrong.
Sorry to say, but a leftist can be dictatoric, as well. Remember socialism?
While the two-dimensional political chart is also not flawless, I prefer using it if one's bound to right-left spectrum.
Less government is liberal or communist on the left, and capitalist (even ancap sometimes) on the right.
More government is usually socialist on the left, and fascist on the right.
And of course there are more subtle ideologies like syndicalism on the left, or conservatism on the right.
how come you said I was wrong then you agree with me?
You stated that right means "more government", left means "less government. This statement is very superficial about the nature of the spectrum.
Or at least that was my interpretation.
nope..
I said extremism means more government...
either/all flavors..
there is no spectrum
Sorry then, that is definitely true.
