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.
I could see this but only if you mix economic and social issues.
Bernie should be closer to the center but I can see how China from whenever this was made could be argued to be conservative with social liberities.
