Steve,

Libertarianism is generally considered to be strongly toward the right
of the political spectrum.

Not at the end, of course: there is no end.  The 'political spectrum' is
not a line, but a circle, with the far left colliding with the far
right.

Wow, this is the first time I heard someone mention this, I always thought
the same. Fascism / Marxism / Communism is not too fr off in my book. I
think most people on the left side of the aisle think of it as a straight
line.
