Both the left and the right are 'leftists'...just a different brand.
Bingo. The left are
true leftists, while the "right" are false rightists, actually just another brand of leftist (the Trotskyite variety rather than the Stalinist). A leftist wants powerful centralized government. "The left" wants powerful centralized government to implement collectivism, destroy industry, and establish a one-world dictatorial super-state, while the false "right" (actually, just another brand of leftist) wants powerful centralized government to perpetuate war and empire for the banks and big corporations abroad, while maintaining a police state and centrally managed crony capitalism at home. Essentially the same things, with slightly different emphasis.
A
true rightist is opposed to a powerful centralized government for any reason, because he correctly perceives it to be anathema to individual liberty.
