    Iirc her dad was an anarchist or was friends with a major anarchist or something, so it’s not entirely unlikely for her to have had this kind of thought. But yeah this quote seems fake

    Especially considering that "right-wing" and "left-wing" hadn't really condensed into those political terms in English during her lifetime. "Left" and "right" originated during the French Revolution, but the "left-wing" and "right-wing" terms didn't appear until the late 19th century, and not used in any positive way either.
