Slide from my government class where Bernie Sanders is more left wing than China, Pinochet is extreme right wing authoritarian and Milton Friedman is a sweet right wing libertarian despite advising and defending Pinochet. Obama is more authoritarian and right wing than Washington as well.
Still remember the one professor who tried to argue with me about horseshoe theory
Tried to say that the gulags were just as bad as the concentration camps
When I pointed out that the gulags were prisons and not death camps, he said the result was the same
Suffice to say, I didn't get A's that semester
It is funny how the occupancy and the death rate of the gulags declined after the US-supported (US literally invaded Russia to help him out) Tsar was defeated. It only went back up when it started filling up with literal Nazis.
