A brutal dictator is a brutal dictator. It doesn't matter if others think he/she is rightwing or leftwing.

@Heartlander And do the terms even apply? Or are them simply meaningless propaganda that covers the fact that a totalitarian government is a totalitarian government that has no real political philosophy other than keeping the powerful in power and crushing any dissent?

@ChipmunkErnie This exactly. Autocratic absolute power, authoritarian, totalitarian. Wings don't really apply here. If that were the case, every king/queen/emperor/empress in history would have a wing associated. Better just to call the absolute monarchs or dictatorships.
