He often makes excellent points.

Everyone to the right of Mao Zedong gets called far right these days. Trotsky was called far right. As was Lin Biao.

I'm not saying he doesn't make good points.

Anyone can point at the sky and say it's blue no matter their other opinions.

However he is a racist which most people would consider far right (although it's hardly the preserve of the right).

Whaaa? So all the blacks attacking Asians are far right? Come on man, racism is hardly limited to the far right. Ask the Ashanti empire which openly sold slaves to anyone who stopped by with a ship.

Being black never stopped anyone being far right, that assumption would be racist.

Islamists are far right no matter how many leftists treat them like baby kittens.

As I say the left has it's own racism.

Islamists are far right? WTF dude Islamism is widely accepted to sit outside our western right/left ideas on a third axis. It isn't even racist, in fact it's more globalist than anything.

Something being widely accepted doesn't make it true.

It also depends on how you define left and right, which varies.
