Why do people still take the bullshit left-right political spectrum seriously?
Far-right=National Socialism? If that's the fucking case why is the Civic-National Communist state of the USSR considered leftist?
America is right-leaning because of capitalism? Yeah, its so capitalist, just look at all the government subsidized public works and healthcare companies. And it can't be communist either because of its free market.
The left-right spectrum was created by the French in the 1700s and then later propagated into American politics by Jewish propagandists to create a false dichotomy

You are a dumb nigger OP, just letting you know

Capitalism is typically considered fiscal conservatism which puts in in the Right
And the NatSocs were socialist to a degree
Levi Lee
Capitalism is an economic system not a real polital view, however yeah capitalism is more right than it is left And any non anarchistic system is socialistic to a degree
Jack Taylor
The "socialism" part was their invention to try and cate to the destitute, the poor and the workers beyond empty race/nationalism rhetoric. Sing up and we'll make you have a job and put the boss in his place (regardless of whether he's an jew or not).
The results weren't great obviously but the promise sure panned out, obviously, since people signed up.
Ethan Harris
doesnt really count as socialism though, even some libertairians have the same idea where you make sure businesses cant fuck the people over too much I was mainly responding to the fact that OP doesnt know where communism and nazism actually stands on a left right spectrum, as nazism had a bunch of left ideas mixed in as did the USSR have a bunch of right ideas mixed in
Mason Martin
Yeah, you're right about that. I didn't mean to imply otherwise.
Christian Carter
Also, why do the Holla Forums retards confuse free market capitalism with corporatism?
Jason Reyes
Its less confusion and more of a belief that one simply cannot exist without the other one immediately overtaking it.
Connor Ross
Well if you can believe in marxism it's not a far mental stretch from confusing things plus free market supporters aren't common enough to raise awareness about what we actually believe/what it actually implies
Corporatism implies that the government helps out corporate big shots to make more money without improving the product, lowering prices etc, whereas free market capitalism pretty much makes sure that the best products have to be made as cheaply as possible while paying labourers the most the industry can handle ETC ETC That's what I got from college social studies anyway
Matthew Young
because they are drones that can't think for themselves and have to have a set of ideals or someone telling them how to think and live
Chase Lee
Simple, it has some merit, but do not rely too much on it. Otherwise you might be a Barth.
Hunter Gutierrez
Just Holla Forums yourself!
David Campbell
Left-right means nothing. The new politics is nationalism versus globalism.
Nathaniel Bailey
There is no such thing as a free market you babby brained autist.
Eli Carter
cuz regular democracy isnt enough? It needs to be "social"? And how does this make it better?
Grayson Hughes
what makes me leftist or rightist? Amount of policies i agree on? Or alignment with chosen policies? It tells me nothing. What does it mean to be right-wing? Is conservatism and liberalism the same as right or left?
Joshua Russell
Pretty much this. It's gonna be a ride.
Brayden Rogers
Wasnt advocating for it but social democracy mean a democracy with extra social policies, as a contrast the early US was a democracy but there weren't any real social policies
John Carter
Left wing generally wants state interference in the economy to help the poor. It's contrasted with laissez faire, which only things the government should protect property rights
It's been clouded though by people trying to use left / right in discussion about immigration and gay marriage and other irrelevant stuff
Jordan Brooks
It's handy if you quickly want to put a small point on a left/right scale though, it's mainly that people dont understand that left/right is about economic freedom and not about social freedom
