→Left or right?: I may be beginning to understand
::Simple illustration: The Left-Right Spectrum Theory originated in the French National Parliament, with defenders of the ''Ancien Regime'' sitting on the right.

Therefore, the Founding Fathers, who were slave owners, were leftists. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Let's Go Brandon!]]</sup> 16:17, February 14, 2022 (EST)

:::OK, I'm beginning to understand why, one the one hand, some Americans call Democrats fascists, while, on the other, communists see ''all'' Americans as fascists. Also that Americans tend to use terms right and left, as well as socialism, quite differently from most other nations.
