There's a huge difference between the extreme left and the extreme right. The reason why people assume that they're similar, though, is because authoritarians are similar to each other.

It's not about authoritarian, it's about social policies. Extreme right wing parties run on a platform of family, tax cuts and supporting poor people and middle class, which is basically the same for the extreme left. Now if the right only only says it out of voter pandering that's another story. You'd be amazed on how many policies extreme right and left agree.

I don't think you realize what extreme left is if you mean that they support tax cuts. The extreme left is socialism, which would not even run on a system of taxes.
