The main difference between Hitler and other totalitarians (like the [[Josef Stalin]] of the [[Soviet Union]]) is that they were war enemies in a struggle for [[totalitarian]] control of [[Europe]]. The [[Comintern|Communist party]] of that day won the media struggle to claim the title of "Leftist," and labeled their anti-God, anti-free market [[socialist]] brethren "Right wing."<ref>[http://www.writing.upenn.edu/~afilreis/50s/schlesinger-notrightleft.html Not Right, Not Left, But a Vital Center], [[Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.]], ''New York Times Magazine'', April 4, 1948.</ref> The systems of big government and economy they imposed on their respective empires had more similarities than differences.

Another group of people some leftists consider to be "far right" and "right wing" are [[white supremacy|white supremacists]], [[Neo-Nazis]], [[racism|racist]] and [[anti-Semitism|anti-Semitic]] organizations. In the United States, Democrats accusing Republicans of racism masks the white racists in their own ranks "living on the dole."<ref>https://www.thefreedictionary.com/on+the+dole</ref> This is done to attribute racism with conservatism. In reality, the Democratic party is in [[coalition]] with white racists who get to hide the [[stigma]] of their racism by fearing Republicans will cut [[entitlement]] benefits.

In the US, Europe, and the Middle East opponents of democracy typically apply the term "far right" to anyone who criticizes their human rights record or plans to replace the [[free market system]] with [[socialism]]. The idea behind this sort of name-calling is to associate the critics with the "worst mass murderer ever" (i.e., Adolf Hitler). This is erroneous, if only because both Stalin and [[Mao Tse-Tung]] killed at least six times more innocent people. (It is argued, however, that Hitler was also responsible for all of the deaths from World War II, and thus is in the same league as Stalin and Mao.)
