Right-wing policies can be as equally as dangerous, heck our biggest history lesson there is Hitler and the Nazi Party.
The best place to trend is when both the right and the left have relatively equal power so that policies trend in the middle and it's good having both sides around in a debate so you can see both sides of the coin so you can make the best possible decision.

With that said, I would dread seeing Drumpf win, I hope my country makes stronger ties to China rather than the USA in that instance.

I don't think republicans are pushing anything Nazi's were about. They were a Fascist party and toalitarian so maybe the democrats relate to them more.

Extreme right wing just doesn't make much sense in my eyes these days, its just not what republicans are about. While extreme left wingers have essentially become commies.

1. The Nazis were a fascist party, and the party is largely considered far right-wing because it's basis in right-wing ideologies such as Nationalism, acceptance or even support of social inequality, a strong belief in traditional or "natural" morals (read: traditional values), a focus on stability and order, ect.

Now, of course not all people who identify as right-wing will hold all of these beliefs, and the Nazi party to many right-wing ideas to the extreme (hence, FAR right-wing). But they did hold many right-wing ideals.

2. Totalitarianism isn't inherentley right or left wing.

3. Democrats aren't inherentley liberal or left-wing (since the party has actually changed from right to left wing during it's history).

4. Your last bit doesn't make sense. You framed it as a comparison, but the first part states that far right-wing policies don't define republicans, and the second part simply points out that communism is a far left-wing political ideology.

They aren't two sides of the same coin. Heck, they aren't even the same currency.
