So I had idea that I was thinking about for some time now , and would like to share it with you.
So here it is, the political spectrum is not a line as we are told it is, it is more of a......circle. Now let me explain my reasoning. Lets take 3 points out of the spectrum. Far-left (communism), Far-right(fascism)and then the point we are at right now, I don't really know where that would be but for the sake of this argument lets call it the middle.
Now, my first argument is that the far-left and far-right are not all that different, they are both state-centered ideologies, both of them have as a main goal to profit the society rather then the individual.
Now let's look at the differences, Far-left is promoting "class warfare" and far-right believes that there should be someone in charge at all times. This sound like a fair difference, but combined with the first point, that society is more important then the individual, and the fact that none of the ideologies promote true equality (yes, Communism promotes equality, but only to the point that all working man are equal, the one's who can't produce as much as they consume have no place in society, and a person that does more for the society is of a greater importance in the eyes of the state.)and after taking out all of the "titles" out of the equation both ideologies have the same reasoning for having their government in place. They both want their best minds to be in power because they would do the best job. So the reasoning is different, but the final effect is the same.
Now let's look at a second difference, far-left believes in communism at a global scale, where all of humanity is equal. far-right on the other side is centered around a single nation or "race". This is a major difference, I will not argue about that, but it seems more of a progression of the same idea then two idea's that cancel each other out.
