British poster mocking the French revolution. There's no room to claim there is such thing as "far right extremism" when we are at least a few hundred years removed from what is actually normal and the overton window has been continuously pushed leftward by a certain group for hundreds of years - Kotaku In Action 2

It's not there because the Left-Right dichotomy was invented in the French Revolution. The Left represent the Jacobin Rousseauians and the Right represents the anti-Jacobin Rousseauians.

Lockean (American) Liberals, Millan (English) Liberals, Smithian Liberals, and anti-Liberals (Monarchists & Theocrats) were never part of the framework.

And yes, that group of which you speak is the Rousseauians and the Socialists.
