I'd take it further and say that politics is circular. Go left or right far enough and you and up in the same place, just under different names.

"The horseshoe theory in political science asserts that rather than the far left and the far right being at opposite and opposing ends of a linearpolitical continuum, they in fact closely resemble one another, much like the ends of a horseshoe."

Never heard of it named that and I've been a subscriber to this belief for as long as I can remember. What really gets me though is that the far left (in the UK at least) seem to get away with their histrionics much more easily than the far right due to political correctness.
