@dylanbuchanan6511 Nazism is left wing. Hitler was a socialist. This is a basic historical fact. Nazism is by definition a socialist ideology. White supremacy, or any kind of race supremacy, is a leftist ideology. Any kind of group based/ collective ideology is automatically left wing. Not sure what the problem with laissez-faire capitalism is, I couldn't find any. All financial crises were caused by state meddling with the economy and regulation. Which is socialism. Every single economic collapse or recession was caused by the state. The free market then has to step in and save everyone over and over again. All of it is caused by regulation, subsidies, and other forms of state meddling in the economy. Radicalism of my side is individual freedom. That's as far right as it goes. Anarchy is furthest right. The further left, the more tyrannical.

Democracies should be replaced with aristocracies. Democracy is not a right

@valdamirlebanon4508 Democracy is basically just a bunch of unqualified simpletons deciding the world you're gonna live in. 2 wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner. It slows progress down, decisions never get made, things never get done, and when they do, the decisions are made by unqualified individuals. What if your airplane was flown by unqualified randoms instead of trained pilots? If we need trained individuals to fly a plane, or be the captain of a ship, then why should common unqualified nobodies decide the direction of an entire country? Everything should be voted on and ran by people educated in politics and economics and voting in general. There should be some kind of very hard to obtain licence and IQ test before voting.

I agree with all of his points except the religion section. I don't think religion is inherently right or left wing. I'm far right economically, very libertarian, but an atheist. He acts as if atheism isn't the default position of man, and is somehow tied in to political beliefs, which it isn't

I disagree with you when you say that the bible somehow made morality really easy in the past. Not really. Morality was decided by authority figures that sometimes used the bible as an excuse for their decisions, but they often made up their own rules and morals as well and the bible itself is a horrible moral guide. I think you mixing religion into the political spectrums just makes a mess of things and doesn't make any sense. Christianity is a relatively young religion and isn't special in any way. If anything it impeded progress in the west.

Because democrats and republicans are just political parties. Right and left is NOT conservative vs liberal. Right wing is true liberal. Left wing is pro tyranny

@dylanbuchanan6511 No it can't. History has shown the opposite. The political compass is a lie and doesn't fit reality. Right wing is pro individual freedom, left wing is tyranny. All tyrannical regimes were far left.

@valdamirlebanon4508 That's completely wrong. You can have free societies without democracy. It won't be corrupt politicians making decisions, it will he educated individuals, only people that can qualify and pass certain tests that will allow them to vote. Something that allows you to prove that you are capable of making rational decisions for your country. A licence of sorts. You need a special licence to drive, right? Something like that but less widespread, only given to people that can meet some sort of intelligence threshold. And if they don't improve the country or if they mess up, their licence can be revoked immediately. .
