It's a good argument for the horseshoe theory.

Horse shoe theory all depends on how you define 'left' and 'right'. I follow the understanding that left means big government and right means small government. Far right is anarchy, far left is totalitarianism. Both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were dependent on big government.

If you let the government get big enough, someone will always use it as a club to beat down their opposition. I'm a 'minimum government necessary' kind of guy. 

Actually that is not quiet true the NAZI where already highly effective in rasing large sums of money even before they gained power.  Their two paramilitary wings the SA (1920) and SS (1925) pretty much go back to the founding of the party just to kee those two runnig took a fair amount of money.
