| #3 Anon1 the confusion is natural because the left tends to hate their country (whichever that country is). So different groups that love their country (right wing or nationalist or whatever) are easily mixed up. |

| #1 nothing annoys me more. The protesters are not *right wing*. They are *nationalist* - a completely different thing. Right wing = capitalist, free market fan, protects the individuals right to private property against the state left wing = socialist, big government fan, promotes the idea that the state should confiscate the private property of individuals through taxation for redistribution Reclaim Australia has no economic outlook, it is neither right nor left wing. They are flag=draped nationalists, which for some bizarre reason ignoramus 18 year old know-nothing reporters describe as *right wing*. Perhaps they confuse the flag draped nationalism with nazi nationalism - which was left wing I might add. The Nazis were socialists. Left wing, racist socialists. That is also why Reclaim Australia get called racist even though there are black white and asian members of that group. They are actually against the rise of Islamofascism but just express themselves really badly like the rank amateurs they are. They drape themselves in the Aussie flag because they dont really know how to express what they really want - the protection of secular law against the Islamofascist political push. That is complicated. They dont form that thought they just know they hate sharia and halal certification. So they get an aussie flag and wear it like a superman cape and get called nazis. |
