  2. "redu ce the siz e of any busi ness that ge ts to bi g" Care to elaborate why? Busin ess getting big is a direct res ult of peo ple wa nting to support it. You don't magi cally get big with a shi tty prod uct or ser vice nobo dy wants to b uy.

  3. Ah yes... The left: "America is a democracy! Don't take away our democracy!" Also the left: "We don't want our states to exercise democracy regarding the legality of abortion, we want our fed government to enforce it!"

  5.  @matlew1960   : Incorrect. Jes us being an hist orical fig ure is a fa ct. His pres ence has been docu mented by mult iple Rom an histo rians, Taci tus being the mo st fa mous one.

  6. @Ken Dethstryke : Fascism comes from the left though...

  7.  @Cybelos  : The fundamental differences between left-wing and right-wing ideologies center around the the rights of individuals vs. the power of the government. Left-wing beliefs are liberal in that they believe society is best served with an expanded role for the government. People on the right believe that the best outcome for society is achieved when individual rights and civil liberties are paramount and the role — and especially the power — of the government is minimized.

  8. @Edgycated: Fascism always comes from the far left, hun.

  9.  @jonloc8535  "That's so ev il and horrible isn't it?" Yes, since the premise is that comm unity is sup erior to the indi vidual, hence you have a m ob rule... Which is the reason why every single socia list regi me has turned into a to talita rian regime in pra ctice.

  11.  @Caramuel  : You are welcome. Now please go read some history.

  12.  @Caramuel  "Not all fascism was socialist. " Wrong. It was, and there was only one type of Fascism in the first place ... Mussolini's.

  13.  @Caramuel  "A large percentage of neo-fascists in Europe - in Slovakia (current prime minister Fico), Poland, Lithuania and Czech rep - are free market fanatics " Then they are the complete opposite of neo-fascism and the party Milei run against, was in fact a neo-fascist party and pro-socialism, just like Fascism itself was.

  14. lnsflare1 : "Also, there's no cre dible eviden ce that a real Jes us actually existed" Incorrect. There is bun ch of evid enc e from various Ro man hist oria ns, Ta cit us being the m ost famo us one.

  15. @Martin James : "But supposing Jes us had existed, was he crucified? Not a shred of evidence for that " He did ex ist, and w as also cr ucifie d. Rom an histo rians have evid ence.

  16. Actually Milei is a Libertarian, not anarco-anything as of yet. And we Libertarians are on the far-right. People on the right believe that the best outcome for society is achieved when individual rights and civil liberties are paramount and the role — and especially the power — of the government is minimized. Libertarianism / Minarchism and all the ideologies based on Classical Liberalism are on the far-right side.

  17. @Momster : You never had democracy. You are a constitutional republic.

  18. There is no such thing as "Late stage capitalism", also Fascism was a socialist ideology and strictly opposed Capitalism.

  19.  @nanntuckett8963  : You do realize that it was the government that literally decided just before what women could do with their bodies, right? You do realize that this SCOTUS verdict took that decision AWAY from the government and put it back to the states where people can actually vote for it? Do you even read?

  20. @Tree Surgeon: Nobody is forced to do anything yet.

  21. @K Jennings: If your murican SCOTUS would have ruled that "no abortions" on the federal level, then sure ... however what they did is the exact opposite and took some power AWAY from your government and gave it back to the states where it belongs and where people themselves can vote for it.

  22.  @hanselmansell7555  " largely unregulated free market here in the uk that has now made even very basic accommodation unaffordable." You don't have Laissez-faire economics in the UK. You still have a mixed economy just like 99% of the countries in the world.

  23. @K Jennings: Well there is certainly more freedom in letting people vote for it within their state, instead of few politicians deciding it on the federal level.

  24. "Far right libertarian is an oxymoron. You can be far right or you can be libertarian. You can’t be both." Well not exactly. Libertarianism is literally a far-right ideology. People on the right believe that the best outcome for society is achieved when individual rights and civil liberties are paramount and the role — and especially the power — of the government is minimized. Regarding far-right, it would include Libertarianism, Minarchism and any ideology based on Classical Liberalism.

  25.  @TheKrouton  "while also requiring a strong central authority to ensure the personal freedom of its constituents." Neither Libertarianism nor Minarchism advocates for the abolishment of police, courts or army.

  26. Libertarianism is on the far-right.

  27.  @barryraymond9004  "The far right are socialist too. " No. Socialists and socialism are on the far-left. Including the Nazis.

  28. Well actually, Libertarianism is on the far-right. People on the right believe that the best outcome for society is achieved when individual rights and civil liberties are paramount and the role — and especially the power — of the government is minimized. Libertarianism / Minarchism and all the ideologies based on Classical Liberalism are on the far-right side.

  29.  @Max_Power_  "there are a lot of right wing governments where they increase their power. " There are none. Right wing doesn't work that way.

  30.  @Max_Power_  "And far-right means authoritarianism and ultra-nationalism" Wrong. It doesn't. That is far-left.

  31.  @Max_Power_  "So you think that Hitler was far-left?" It's not a matter of thinking. It's about historical facts, and Hitler certainly was a far-left socialist.

  32.  @Max_Power_  "Also btw, Trump literally increased government spending and increased debt, " Many people in America seem to forget that Trump run as a Moderate candidate and was a Moderate in general.

  33. "right wingers generally despise rapid change" That is people who advocate for conservatism, not right wing.

  35. @Bruce Williams: Except nobody's rights were stripped. The legality regarding abortion was just sent back to the states to decide.

  37.  @Caramuel  "Hitler's and Mussolini's fascisms were socialisms in name only." Wrong. They were textbook examples of socialism.

  38.  @Caramuel  : I read books, you don't.

  39.  @davidmichels9454  : That's because the majority in those states do not support abortions. Welcome to the world of democracy. I thought you people liked that mob rule ideology. 😆

  40.  @toddmorningstar4206  "Fas cism is a fa r-rig ht" It wasn't. Fasci sm was a totali tarian fa r-le ft, soc ialist ideology based on nati onal syndic alism.
    1
  41.  @toddmorningstar4206  "ultranat ionalist political ideol ogy and mov ement," There is no such thing as "ultranationalism" or "superna tionalism" or "insert-random-prefix national ism". There is just nati onalism, and it is devotion to the State which sees all other states as inferior and in competition. Right wing ideologies do not embrace Nationalism, but rather Patriotism. In all Right wing ideologies, the Individual is superior to the State. In Socia list ideologies the collective, such as the State, is superior to the individual.

  42.  @suzankathleen3953  "What do you think fas cism means, Historia, Magistra Vitae?" It's not about what I think. It's about what the history tells us. Fasc ism has not been a thing since the W W2 ended. And when it was a thing, it was an outgrowth of Sorellian Syndicalism, which itself was an outgrowth from Mar xist soci alism. The idea was that society would be consolidated (i.e., incorporated) into syndicates (in the Italian context, fascio/fasci) which would be regulated by and serve as organs for the state, or "embody" the state (corpus = body). The purpose wasn't the promotion of private interest, but the centralization and synchronization of society under the state, as an end unto itself. To quote Mussolini's infamous aphorism: "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state."

  43. When it comes to the proposition of Jason Brodeur, that is authorit arianism. Not fasc ism.

  45. @David Michels : The SCOTUS literally said you can. Go vote about it within your state.

  47. @Jamis Billson : Trump is not an authoritarian nor a socialist unlike the Nazis so there goes your pipe dream.

  48. @Truth 2 Power : Fascism comes from the left, hun.

  49.  @truth2power463  : Fascism can only come from the far left since it's based on socialism. It can never come from the right.

  50.  @KrasMazovHatesYourGuts  : Are you surprised that people are finally waking up to the fact that "democracy" is just a fancy word for mob rule? 🤣
