Reminder that left vs right is an age old divide and conquer tactic employed by authoritarians.

He's right, though. Left and right is not even an adequate description when you apply it only to the social or economic side of things (which is a false dichotomy in itself, often enough).

With the left, I get more government tinkering with the monetary system, more refugees, more inflation, nationalisation, anti-trust laws and more regulation. When leftists speak of rights, they talk of rights to compel employers to publish data of pay gaps, for foreign nationals to claim income support here and for convicted terrorists to not be extradited because of their "right to a family life". They might legalise soft drugs.

With the right, I get smaller government spending as a percentage of GDP, strong property laws, a diminished welfare state, fiscal restraint and an approach that puts competition before security. There's a risk of middle eastern wars and strengthened law enforcement and surveillance. When the right speak of rights, they talk about the bill of rights, Areopagitica and Anglo-Saxon common law.

Outside this weird board, right means capitalism, order and nation and left means redistribution, interventionism and internationalism. Where I see leftism, I see authoritarianism, and it doesn't surprise me. I don't like the left because the left don't understand liberty. Leftists on /liberty/ are no different.

This. In the UK we have a 2 party system with an authoritarian "right" party and an authoritarian "left" party scaring people into voting for one or the other to stop people choosing libertarian alternatives like UKIP or the lib dems.

A nazi shouldn't be calling anyone a retard, anon.


 No.15100

It's only an authoritarian dichotomy in European nations where the right was decimated.

Here in 'Murrica, I'd much rather associate with the right. Sure I have to deal with crazy bible thumpers and disbanded, but even the dumbest redneck hicks have a relative understanding of economics and "what's mine is mine- don't steal my shit!"

I have to explain aggression to the right (the best quote you can ever use to fuck with 'em is "blessed are the peacemakers"), but generally they aren't oblivious to both economics nor how people become successful.

And dumbasses*

Pardon my phone's auto correct. It knows not that it's a faggot.
