I'm reasonably sure I could use Orwell's history in the civil war and Trotskyists being accused of being leftists in league with the right to argue the exact opposite of the article's headline.

I'm pretty sure Stalinists/other commies would worship Hitler if he didn't betray their beloved Stalin.

Personally I view the political spectrum as a donut rather than straight left-to-right -- there is a point where the two become equal before diverging again.

So you resolve the forced one-dimensionality by making the dimension circular rather than making more dimensions?

The left/right divide is one of my pet peeves...

I think we have a multidimensional doughnut. But maybe not all dimensions are circulars.
