The left loves the idea of nationalization and expropriation. CNN will literally come to this news.
Only when the right does it, it’s fascist.
When the left does it, it’s heroic.
Key distinction.
Authoritarianism is a left wing concept. There is no such thing as right wing authoritarianism, because the farthest right you can go is anarchy.
Hitler, Stalin, Mao - They're all Left wing. Fascism is left wing. Communism is left wing.
Liberty is a right wing concept.
True communism which is a far left as you get is 100% voluntary so I don't know what you're smoking.
It may be imperfect, but the Political Compass is decently accurate in portraying the bounds of political ideology.
This is really simple. There’s no such thing as true communism because there’s no such thing as a fully compliant or fully voluntary workforce.
On paper, maybe. In reality- well, you know how it has worked out.
When it comes to left wing policy or politicians, no action is too draconian...when it comes to right wing policy, even expressing a view to too much....
