So I think it is incorrect to call fascism a "right side" system and communism a "left side" system. I believe a better way of defining political systems is from anarchy on the right to totalitarianism on the left. Somewhere in the middle is where I would put democracy and to the right of that a republic (which is what America is supposed to be.)
Sounds good to me - a much more logical system
It would have the interesting effect of rendering some democrats as totalitarians and some republicans as anarchists

There's nothing wrong with a little truth in labeling.
