What is the main difference between left and right? What defines something being left or right?

What is the main difference between left and right? What defines something being left or right?

I would arguee the idea of property, I would recommend you to start doing political compass threads, its prob the easier one, and then google the topics found in them

kill yourself

OP, the left/right dichotomy is inherently flawed, and the defining rules vary amongst different groups. Here, as socialists, we define it as "pro-capitalsm" vs "anti-capitalism", so to speak. In other words, the abolishment of private property and the democratic ownership of the means of production is the left, and the enforcement of private ownership and the exploitation of the working class is the right.

The left is about economics, the right is about "feels > reals"

I disagree with this. The capitalist slavery is a symptom of a bigger problem.

How do you expect OP to understand the differences if not by starting by something as basic as a political compass, sure it is a spook, muh post-left and all that

much can be gained for understand the basic differences between these positions

congrats, thats basically a political compass

Its not about property or economics. The line is between authoritarianism and freedom.

Did you even read what you posted? Because if so you may as well just stop posting forever. Charts are retarded, but at least pick one that's functionable. That's going to do the precise opposite of teaching someone the differences in positions and ideologies.

pretty much, yes, its a thing is real life kiddo

anarcho-capitalism without the NAP

literally the most centrist position there is

I agree those are pretty shitty

Strasser

Caring about workers makes you left.

Explain to me how a classless society functions with classes and still counts as communism.

Aside from actual fucking centrists, you mean?

His name is word filtered for a reason m8. He was not the prevailing ideology, and just because he wasn't as far right as the other Not Socialists doesn't make him a leftist himself.

...

...

economically hed be pretty left, socially centrist-right

hes not a stalinist but he aint a weed lmao for social policies is what im saying

I'll never forget that day, that thread, that pollyp.

kekek

The only form of communism is anarcho-communism. Rest is slavery.

OP fucked off by now because we're too autistic to explain how we're different from Holla Forums in three sentences or less.

The left is dead.

From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs

people that have no idea how to control certain aspects of the productive forces is in a disadvantage compared to someone that does

I am at a disadvantage against a farmer because I have no fucking clue how to farm
sure, but you are forgetting that I am a lazy piece of shit and don't want to learn how to farm


I understand that, but thats because Hitler became and oportunists and placed his imperialists goals before the Not Socialism one
Hess is another author, as you might know him from this spicy meme

Just because the Turd position and Nazbols/Strassers do not follow the usual rethoric doesn't mean most of their economic policies are based on some ideas of the left, they are up there with totalitarianism anyway

It's fucking simple.

Left = more equality
Right = less equality

Try and prove me wrong.

My post was exactly three sentences, fuck off.

That's nothing to do with the quote you cited. Governing forces under communism wouldn't be mandatory or representative, they'd be participatory. If you don't know about farming, don't intervene in the farming. But if the farmers try to fuck you over, you have the discourse to protect yourself. Basically what you're telling me is that you don't understand how communism works and so you and others like you explained your dissonance away by making a special snowflake brand of communism that isn't actually communism.

come on now

during certain part of the path towards "pure communism", sure

with a goverment, that would have several characteristics depending on the material conditions in which the society would be

Right-wing believes in free will and liberty, so that's why you will see a lot of conspiracy theories that have Right-wing bias.

Left-wing believes in determinism by the environment (Example: The problem is not Trump himself but the system that creates Trump-like people) and justice social.

???

Congratulations, then. But it was drowned out by retarded memeing.

Not pretending I know everything, just posted what I know and honestly liberty and free will are too much vague as concept.

Bump

Left: No Private Property
Right: Private Property

Social democracy and fascism and marxist leninism all believe in state control of property. A state controlling the property is not however public property but private property.

Anarchists believe in the direct control of property by the people in use of it.

its a false dichotomy what constitutes left or right really just depends on who one decides to ally themselves to.

Those two are outdated terms from the times of the french revolution and the only way to group somebody on that spectrum is checking how likely are they to ally with certain factions, with conservatives being a basis of the right, liberals of the centre and socialists of the left. Naturally it can be regrouped depending on the political environment, muh overton window etc.
