What is sometimes hard to understand is that the whole leftist/rightist controversy is largely a constructed ideological and imaginary battle used in order to divide, confuse and sway public opinion through opposing arguments, a thesis and an antithesis, Hegelian style. .
Which is why it makes little sense to try to determine whether Berg was leftist or rightist. He was both, depending on what you look at. Totalitarians can always be trusted to totalitarians, never mind what label you give it/them.
He (Berg) may have been – with or without his knowledge – groomed for the his job, but by totally different entities than he himself claimed.
