I don't think you could ever get the guy to identify as a card-carrying leftist, but I'm sure you could find areas where their beliefs overlap, and where they want the same sorts of outcomes.

I feel like these beliefs are not the fundamental ones. (semantic: can we think of a better word than "fascist" for each case?) We should discover the underlying moral principle on both sides. I expect they wont be incompatible.

We should use better words, but @AlexanderBlum0 is probably correct about it being irreconcilable. Bryan Caplan was correct when he said a leftist is someone who hates market outcomes and a rightist is someone who hates leftists.

Caplan wouldn't label me a leftist and most other leftists don't really want me in their club but I continue to align myself as a leftist (left-libertarian actually) because my core economic philosophy is that it is the responsibility of society to look after each other.

we need market economics because we need the wealth they produce. that's non-negotiable. I consider inequality to be a natural consequence of markets that amounts to a type of social pollution that we are obligated to clean up for the good of our social environment.
