Horseshoe theory is hogwash.

Even in Soviet Russia there were communist factions who disagreed with Stalin and his (expendable) cronies. See: the 4th International. These factions, of course, were purged and deleted from history as "revisionists" and "counter-revolutionary".

Not to mention anarchists, who are far on the left and generally agree with Marxist theory (Marx's vision of "stateless, classless" society is principally anarchist), but can't and won't agree with authoritarianism, be it stalinist, fascist or of any other flavor.
