Conservatives tend to be intolerant of other ideals, especially of homosexuality and pro-choicers. Conservativism by definition implies resistance to outside change, implying innate xenophobia. Hence the isolationist policies of historical conservatives. This begets further intolerance in many cases, and explains why the overwelming majority of hate groups such as the KKK have right-wing ideologies.

In the socio-economic context of communism, a right-wing idealogue would strive to consolidate power into an oligarchy, in contrast to the plebian government envisioned by Marx. Both Fidel and Stalin have done this, so I don't see why that's so hard to understand.

It's a shame, but such an analysis can't really be done upon the left because the very definition of of liberal is subjective to historical context.
