A bit of perspective here from the rest of the world - you have two right wing parties. It's no wonder they act like "war hungry, freedom stealing, assholes".

That implies the left wing was ever at some point peace-loving, anti-war heroes. Look at the horseshoe theory. You can go so far right into Fascism that you end up at the end of the horseshoe - right next to the extreme left, Communism. Combined, they're responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths but it's hard to champion one over the other. Left or right is irrelevant when it comes to mankind's desire to kill, rape and pillage
Yeah there's not much difference between fascists and authoritarian socialists. What this really highlights is that fanatics of any stripe are to be avoided. And that includes American libertarians (right-libertarians), and naive liberals who think that calm discussion and non-violence is the solution to everything. On that point, our rights weren't won through calm discussion. Never.
