  2.  @freedomordeath89  You just reworded what I said, while denying the meaning of what you wrote!

  3.  @aidanb.315  You're wrong.

  4.  @WitherRakdos  Only as defined by communists to separate it from communism - they're almost identical. In reality, the left is the power of the State, the right is the power of the individual. The idea of individuals having power over their own lives is almost a forgotten thing.

  5.  @WitherRakdos  Literally? You don't know what you wrote. You don't know the difference between a state and a State.

  9.  @sethfrisbie3957  This is not an insult. You are a confused child. I repeat, not an insult. You want a beneficent dictator - a "superman", who is kind to you and ruthless to your enemies. The reason it's not an insult is because it's the ideal - it's what everyone would choose - were it a real choice. You want to be ruled by your dad. it's the same psychology as with "gods". If your father was kind, you imagine "god" is kind. If your father was strict, you imagine "god" is strict. To grow up, is to understand there are no "gods", and dictators are never beneficent. To want a dictator is to want to be told what to wear, what to eat, where to work, when to go to bed, what to think, etc. To be a grown up is to want to govern yourself. The balance of power between you and the State is the left/right dichotomy. There cannot be an "authoritarian right wing" because that would be you ordering yourself around. Authoritarianism comes naturally to us,because it's how we raise our children - we don't let them govern themselves. Consequently the State strives to treat us as children, and some of us are comfortable with that. But tyranny has a ratchet that does not exist in families. In families, children are encouraged to grow up and make their own choices. The State never willingly returns the freedoms it takes from you.  As for economics, there is only one way to create wealth and that's capitalism. The State does not create wealth, it steals it from you (some taxation is necessary),and concerns itself with how to spend what it has collected. Capitalism is, btw, a law of nature. The leopard must get more energy from her food than she used to catch it,or she will die. That's true for all animals, and even plants. Unfortunately,theft and parasitism are also laws of nature. I've covered a lot in few words - some thought will be required.

  10.  @sethfrisbie3957  Apparently that was too much for you to read in one go - and thinking is beyond you.

  11.  @hre2044  Inasmuch as it is opposed to personal liberty, yes. Note an absolute monarch is not a one-man band - he rules by the grace of his Lords - and their armies. An aristocracy is a collective enterprise.

  12.  @hre2044  The rebranding of left v right  to mean revolutionaries v reactionaries  is itself MARXIST DOGMA. By doing so, you eliminate the concept of liberty from politics.

  13. Excellent vid - as always - but for one sticking point - Nazism. The Nazi Party was the German workers Party, and the German workers were collected into one union - the DAF. Indeed, Hitler banned strikes because "the workers were now the government" (paraphrased). That sounds fascist, to me. So my current model is; communism = international unionism (plus racism), fascism = national unionism, Nazism = national unionism plus racism.

  14.  @TheImperatorKnight  Lol,then I haven't understood the "Nazis aren't fascists" bit. I'll have to listen again.
