"Right" and "Left" are relative terms in the first place.
And really
don't translate from one culture to another (Just like "Conservative").
Totalitarian/Socialist/Communist/Fascist all mean the same thing in the
end: Total power of the State.
There is little to differentiate
among them. Calling a Nazi "right-wing" does not diminish the fact they
the Nazi wants all and total power in the hands of the State.
But that
is what so-called "right wing" Americans are precisely against.
The
labels can be fluid, but reality matters. "Right Wingers" in America
are for Constitutionally limited government; dead set against a powerful
State.
"Left Wingers" in America today, are for totalitarian control by the State.
Whatever you call them...that is the fundamental, indisputable difference.
In America, "Conservative" is someone who want to "conserve" our Constitutional form of government.
In
Russia, a "Conservative" might be someone who wants to "conserve" the
old Soviet Style government. Or even the older Czarist form of
government.
In Africa, "left-wing" might mean full-on tribal
warfare. And Conservative might mean a desire to return to European
rule. Or exactly the opposite.
There is no LEFT and RIGHT.
There is only TYRANNY and FREEDOM.
