It's ironic that the erroneous claim that national socialism is left wing is used as an example, given that the above poster seems no less confused. Has the knowledge between extreme right and extreme left be completely lost? These people are against foreigners, for a strong police and military (in fact, some vigilantes in China seem to be directly backed up by government authorities), are racist, anti-religious, for Chinese imperialism (e.g. in the South Chinese Sea), and so on. If you e.g. make a Youtube video criticism state policies in China, these people will try to find out who you are, your address, your family, etc., and then bundle up online to discredit you at your employer and at state authorities. Tons of death threats will enter your email inbox and they will accuse you of being a traitor to the fatherland. That's obviously right wing and fascist (coming from "fasces", the rods used to beat up people on the streets of ancient Rome). The atrocities of communism are justified very differently, based on a fairly complex ideology. "left wing" would e.g. be if these people founded workers committees in which they'd force colleagues to discuss their "reactionary imperialist ideology" and confess their egoistic betrayals of society. It's different from "right wing" in dozens of respects, especially the justifications. Of course, extreme right and extreme left coincide about totalitarian stances, and sometimes also use nationalism and populism to further their agenda. But they disagree about all the rest.

> It's ironic that the erroneous claim that national socialism is left wing is used as an example, given that the above poster seems no less confused. Has the knowledge between extreme right and extreme left be completely lost? What is ironic is that while doing exactly the same yourself and trying to paint the actions of the Chinese regiment you disapprove as "Right Wing", you are stating the irony of the ones that do the opposite and try to paint the actions of National Socialist regimens of the past as Left Wing. Even someone that is not very attentive to the news, has heard about what the Communist Chinese regimen is doing to the Uyghurs, and their stance towards they exploitation of the African continent, among many other cases. Yet, here you are, trying to tell us all that's a Right Wing thing.
