Both far right, and far left, politics, are... far out.

Too far out for me.

What else can one say?

Your country is kind of frozen in amber at 1940 in its political evolution because of the decades of Soviet domination. So comparing the political spectrum in Poland/eastern Europe to that of the US (or to western Europe or Canada) is difficult.

I still consider myself a far leftist, but the failure of internationalism, even on a small scale such as Yugoslavia, has caused me to become a National Socialist.

National socialist?

As in the "National Socialist Worker's Party" of a certain country of a certain time?

This is quite common. The farther people are from each other on the political spectrum the more in agreement their extreme solutions to problems become. Both the far left and the far right agree that all opposition needs to be silenced by any means necessary.

There's Left Wingnuts and Right Wingnuts. In the end, they're all nuts.

Not quite, Hitler sold out the real National Socialists in exchange for support from the Industrialists and Army, I agree more with the Strasserite faction of the party, but I want to learn more about their economic policy, from what I've read it's closer to corporatism than the Yugoslav style of Socialism with workers self management that I want. Tito's Yugoslavia without ethnic/cultural/religious minorities to break it up is the ideal I am aiming for.

Clint Eastwood once said "When you go far enough to the right, you meet the same idiots coming around from the left", and I agree 100%.

If you look objectively at people from both of the far sides, they have a lot more in common than what you might think.

Did you ever heard about "Horseshoe theory" (Political theory) ?

I think that Clint inadvertently referred to this theory

I think people who are tribal tend to be dangerous idiots. People on the far right and far left tend to compete with each other who can go further and scapegoat groups and look for simple solutions. I think most people are fairly mixed in their belief system personally I have beliefs that others may consider far right and far left but also a lot of moderate beliefs.

Haha I never heard of that until now! I think there's a lot of truth to that theory.

To me, as someone politically neutral, the far right and the far left is proof that the political spectrum isn't so much a line, but something that comes back round full circle.
Both ideologies are equally dangerous and radical.

Basically one in the same, people who seek to oppress and intimidate people who are not 'true believers' such as they. --The methodology utilised between the two are differant, but the end results are much the same in the end.

Threats

Because I don't think they are that similar for both far sides. But what's wrong with being on the more "far" side of a spectrum? By that, being radical and on the "far" side makes more sense as a political or activism currency in today's modern time and the future to come.

I guess because I place importance on nation and it's people, you can call me "far-right". I'm not very big on certain pro-authoritarian elements, though.
