I don't think seeing AH as leftie is that rare. If leftie means
egalisation of wealth and a very active government he sure qualifies.
OTOH militarism is often more associated with rightie than leftie (but
does that make Stalin and Mao righties? most americans - USA sense -
won't agree). 

Some people say that the opposites meet at the extreme ends of the
spectrum. I think there is a lot of truth in that opinion.

There are also many more distinctions than right and left, for instance
religious versus secular.
