: According to the definitions above, then, and coupling them with historical experience, I think it is fair to say that both Hitler and Stalin were right-wingers, whereas Marx and Keynes were left-wingers.: Right-wing communists and left-wing capitalists, freedom versus tyranny. Which side are you on, boy?
I'll classify them as leftists. The question as I see it is what is the established order? Taking God's Word the Bible as my standard, it is difficult to be right at all -- how can one be farther right than God? If the government in question is tryannical, then it would be "right" to bring it back to one based upon scriptural principles. In both cases, Hitler and Stalin, what they were proponents of was further from, not closer to, scriptural principles. Therefore, I am inclined to classify both as leftists.
