Horseshoe theory is an incorrect oversimplification of extreme politics. If it were true then anarchists would be no different than fascists, which couldn’t be further from the truth.
I’m not asserting that they are close to the same, but that they end up aligning on certain issues more than either “side” would admit, especially at the ends of the horseshoe (like violent frustration over the same things, and disdain for some common institutions).
