But in regards to your question, one way to associate the two as left and right would be to look at the criticisms of both and make those critques extreme. Many conservatives (on the right) often argue that liberals (who would be considered on the left) want big govenment, higher taxes, and govenment interfering with buisness. Conservatives also say that liberals want to "redistribute wealth" and  favor worker unions too heavily. If you take those factors and make them extreme you get Communism. A Big government that controls all industry and redistributes all the wealth. Often paid for through very high taxes. All in the name of the "workers of the world".

On the other hand, Liberals often say that conservatives (who would be considered right wing) have discrimantory attitudes towards others, like racism and homophobia. Conservatives are often painted by liberals as being blindly patriotic, and often war hawks. They also say that conservatives want to force their religious beliefs on others. Take those to the extreme and you have Fascism, where government is often racist and xenophobic towards other races and cultures. Basic patriotism is replaced with extreme natonalism and war is often looked at as a good thing. Many facsist regimes, like franco's Spain and the Empire of Japan, have state religions, and perscute religous minorities who don't conform to their way of thinking.
