I make the comment that people on here would call me a communist, or just to the right of Stalin, but that my ideological bent is center-left on the global scale. So perspectives on the left-right spectrum in this country are skewed because of the shift to the right leaving a center/center-right party that is left of a party on the right. I mean, there are ways that the Democrats are more conservative than the center-right CDU/CSU party in Germany. Of course, I am speaking of the way these politicians in these parties vote in their blocs in Congress. Since the parties themselves don't really care about policy in this country and the politicians themselves don't have to adhere to the party's platform, it's hard to really assign these things.

Here is an attempt to fit a US spectrum into the "global scale" you mention--though I think this scale is not really global. The European American spectrum may not work at all in Asia or the Middle East.
