The version of the Horseshoe theory that that guy argues against doesn't really fit with my personal conception of it. To quote Eric Hoffer: "Though they seem at opposite poles, fanatics of all kinds are actually crowded together at one end. It is the fanatic and the moderate who are poles apart and never meet. The fanatics of various hues eye each other with suspicion and are ready to fly at each other’s throats. But they are neighbors and almost of one family. They hate each other with the hatred of brothers. They are as far apart and close together as Saul and Paul. And it is easier for a fanatic Communist to be converted to fascism, chauvinism or Catholicism than to become a sober liberal. " The True Believer, Section 62.
For me, the ideal zone is not "the center," but at the very least, something that is, quite frankly, likely to work, and I think it's likely to be on the more leftward edge of the horseshoe, certainly farther left than most of our politicians go. A noble cause is all well and good, but if your goals aren't workable and/or your methods are so similar to the people you're trying to fight, I can't, in good conscience, co-sign.
