On the left. Communism, fascism, socialism................on the far right is anarchy. Just before you fall into anarchy we have Constitutional republic. Constitutional Republic sits on the edge of no rule at all. Small government, lots of freedom, controlled just enough to keep us from anarchy.
The myth that fascism is a right wing thing is over.
I used to believe anarchy was the extreme on the right, but then realized there are no true anarchical societies. I would say tribalism is the extreme, like what you see in parts of the middle East. Anarchy is a a tool used by revolutionaries and also a transitional state.
The reason why conservatives don't fall down the slippery slope to an extreme is because we value order, which is why we support law enforcement. There's a difference between order and authoritarianism.
Glenn Beck did a chalkboard breakdown years ago of left vs. right that was the most masterful, concise encapsulation of it ever seen. Your comment reflects that explanation almost perfectly.
