I honestly resent libertarian being grouped far right. I don't think that the mainstream left<->right arc is large enough to truly encompass political belief.
To my mind communism and fascism are very very close to each other, however they are traditionally at opposite ends of the spectrum. If you were to use the regular left<->right symbols, I think I would be a centrist. I am very fiscally conservative, traditionally a right wing trait, and I am very socially liberal, traditionally a left wing trait.
