Its reasonable that an American, making comments in America about American politicians, would base their classifications on American standards. And Ghengiz Khan may well count everyone else as a rabid leftie. And I don't doubt that Stalin viewed most people to the right of Marx as dangerous counter-revolutionaries. Likewise, Himmler may have viewed all those left of Goering as soft left. And he would have been justified in doing so by the 1933 elections. Your point is? Or are you suddenly a relativist? In other words, are Left and Right absolutes to you?
