It’s been a historical mistake of framing to put the ideologies that we think of as left and right on a spectrum.

They are fundementally different ways of understanding reality separated by certain differences that do not blend or offer a meaningful middle ground. It’s like saying there’s spectrum between religion and science. There simply isn’t because one is based on irrationality and the other on rationality. Philosophical oil and water.

I don’t think you can have such a thing as “far left” because when you have ideas that are invented on the left with the intent to help protect democratic access and human rights, but which then fail (ex. Communism) the left discards them and finds something else. That’s what being truly “left” is in a nutshell – not clinging to failed ideas or beliefs that are based in past ignorance. People who think like a “leftist” are always looking to adjust themselves to those principles and cleave to what’s real not what they wantbto be real.

The right, by contrast, will adapt any failed ideology as a way to move society towards fascism and authoritarianism. Whatever works best in the current context to achieve that end, even if it means fabricating a false reality.
