I remember when I studied government in high school many, many years ago that the teacher drew a line on the chalk board. In the center he wrote "Democracy," at the extreme left he wrote "Communism" and at the extreme right he wrote "Nazis." A simple drawing meant to differentiate the three systems from each other but, as I look at history, I realize that the drawing while accurate, was erroneous. With the labels remaining in place the two ends should have been curled up until instead of a straight line there was a circle where Communist and National Socialist (Nazi) were side-by-side at one side of the circle and directly opposite is Democracy. And joining Communist and National Socialist would be "Facism." Oversimplified? Most assuredly, but still, it is accurate.
