You have either more Government or less Government... There is no circle. A dictator on the right and a dictator on the left, it makes no fucking sense.
That is becuse you assume right wing = small government. It doesn't. (Explained above)
I don't agree with the circle model myself - a horseshoe is a much more used model.

Wrong. We are back to fighting over the definition of what pop culture has labeled a group.
Again, Bush was pro big Government, stimulus, bailouts, Education, healthcare, military and so on... Obama falls in the same description, the very same description in fact. So once again, you either have more Government or you have less. Bush was for a huge increase in Government per actual Bush era policy, so is Obama... You can label Obama left and Bush right, you can label Obama liberal/progressive and Bush conservative/neocon but these titles have no meaning when they are based on rhetoric rather than policy.
What you're really debating is under what pro government ideology did a certain country/person use to gain power (communism/socialism/fascism.) Thus no matter who is promoting Government as the answer it always ends up the same when that power grows, a dictatorship.
You simply want to attach right wing to Hitler/Nazi. If Right wing = conservative = libertarian = American constitution = the most limited Government the world has ever seen, then its not possible to get Hitler/Nazi. If Right Wing means Neo-con = Pro Government = Pro military = Pro bailouts = Pro stimulus well then you are really just back to fighting over slight variations of what makes up Progressives different than Neo-cons with the same inevitable result of either a bankrupted country or a dictator invading other countries to steal their wealth so they dont go bankrupted.
