Have you not read his very consistent and personally defended party platform? He also said that the communists were close enough in ideology to join his party.

The idea that the communists were the opposite of the Nazis and fascists was an idea spread by the communists to create confusion and try to improve their own image.

But yeah sure, they both talk like they want big changes, so they are the same.

The only thing that the horseshoe theory got right is the inflated self importance of the center.
