There is little confusion about who is on the left and who on the the right in highly polarized societies, especially those convulsed by civil war. There was no difficulty, for example, distinguishing between the two sides in the French, Russian, or Chinese Revolutions or in Nazi Germany or the Spanish Civil War. A simple gesture or comment betrayed the political sympathies of even those who wore no uniforms or engaged in overt activity.
