Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo on the extreme right.

Stalin and Mao on the extreme left.

In today’s North American society the extreme left has readily defeated the extreme right in the court of public opinion - the extreme right is not near as well organized and its racial agenda is repulsive to most decent people.

Given the chance the extreme right in North America would be every bit the threat to democracy and freedom as the extreme left has become.

Both extremes gravitate to totalitarianism for similar reasons.
