    That depends on what you consider "Left- Right".

    If you consider the left to be more government involvement and the right to be less government involvement... Trump has actually moved the Republican party to the left.

    If however you're talking about authoritarianism as "the right" and liberalism as "the left", Trump has certainly made Republicans more authoritarian. Usually though this is considered a separate political axis (although frequently, especially in American politics authoritarianism is associated with the right).

    Trump is much more authoritarian than any other recent President... But he's probably not to the right of Clinton or either Bush in a more traditional left/right comparison.

    If you consider left = tax the rich proportionally more, right = tax the poor proportionally more, then the US is ultra right

    Trump has given so much public money to rich people they literally complain they don't even know what to do with it

    Right wing = kill all that are not one of us, exploit all who are not one of us.
    Right wing = fascism.

    Left wing = property is a crime against the people
    Left wing = communism.

    You can talk all the shades of grey you want of capitalist societies but the reality is they are neither left nor right they are most about profit and volue for taxpyers money.

    As one CNN commentator, whose name I forget, said this week, "Maduro is about as socialist as Trump."

    I think Tony Benn said it better in 1982: "It is wholly wrong to blame Marx for what was done in his name, as it is to blame Jesus for what was done in his."

    Much more complicated than that. There are multiple scales that don't work on a single left-right continuum.

    Communism and Fascism are actually fairly similar in that they both are highly authoritarian regimes even if they are on different parts of the economic scale.

    Its not really.

    What I've said is that calling someone who is bascially the same as you bar one policy "right wing" or "left wing" is just silly.

    FUNDAMENTALLY communism and fascism are completely different. the only similarity is they are authoritarian but the issue is fascism is in effect suited to this but the entire concept of communism fails once authoritarians take control at the top


    China and north korea are not communist. they are oligarchys. Russia is an empire for king putin. another oligarchy

    They're more alike than different. Both populist authoritarian reactions.

    Both feature strong government control over everything with a highly centrally regulated economy. Both feature single party rule. Both are highly ideological in nature. Both put the state above individual human life.

    In practical sense both lead to a small overclass of rich people and a much larger underclass of poor people.

    The two main differences are, who the rich ruling class is and who do they hate. In communist societies being rich is picked politically... People who progress up the party become rich. In fascism it's the other way around, the rich progress up the party.

    Living in a fascist or communist state would be very similar (for a normal person). The main difference here is who do the people hate.

    If you hate the hereditary rich, the populists will put communists in charge. If you hate foreigners or "outsiders" you put fascists in charge.

    Both forms of government tend to arise from a dissillusioned minority wanting to make changes. Neither form appears to be very long lasting in it's pure form.

    Once the revolutionary generation dies out the system starts to collapse, or morph, as in China.
