@darthvader098 Yes, statism and big government is basically the method they both use, but their ideologies and goals for their country/humanity is what really defines them, and therefore is what truly differentiates them as well. In almost every other way, the far-right and far-left are diametrically opposed, which is why the NSDAP emerged as a response to communist uprisings. The Nazis were only anti-capitalist because they viewed capitalism to be an inherently "Semitic" system (designed by those people for the benefit of those people). But they were also heavy industrialists and believed in hierarchical systems and social Darwinism. That is why much of their economic output was only de facto controlled by the state. Some people on the right try to define any ideology that uses statism/authoritarianism as leftism. But that notion is ridiculous when you think about it critically for more than a few seconds. If we define all statism as leftism, we would need to define monarchies and empires of the past as leftist, which is laughable. I guess the point is that statism and big government is not inherently leftist. What makes it leftist or not is what they do with that statism. Your BJP may use big government methods, but they are nationalists who want to preserve traditional Indian identities and culture. That is makes really makes them right wing and these reasons are why I view the horseshoe theory as a largely false and unnuanced way of looking at right/left politics.

@MadMaxter01 It was hard for me to pick up on something that subtle given that I was fairly certain that every single thing I was hearing coming out of her mouth was a lie. Utterly deceptive woman. This is a perfect position for her.

@independentCog Fox is a publisher with no legal immunity. Twitter is supposed to be a public forum free from editorializing because they have legal immunity under 230, kind of like a phone company. Big tech is a monolith that suppresses and destroys all alternative platforms. You don't know what you're talking about, clearly.

@darthvader098 German National Socialists and Italian fascists were not exactly fiscally conservative and they surely aren't considered left-wing. Neither are Arab Ba'athists. I don't believe in some bullshit horseshoe theory, but you can't really call anyone who isn't fiscally conservative a leftist.

@darthvader098 Sounds like a lot of what the Nazis did. Are you saying they're leftists? Lol please don't tell me you're dumb enough to believe the horseshoe theory is valid.

@darthvader098 Of course. I'm asking you if you believe in the horseshoe theory, which basically states that the far-right and far-left are essentially the same thing. I gave you examples of right-wing governments that are/were statist and still provide/d things for their people (like healthcare and education) that are typically associated with what you keep calling "leftist socialism." Do you think the NSDAP were leftists because they gave they provided socialized healthcare and education?

@stopitnow7762 I disagree. The loudest "conservative" voices are the most moderate, and this is by design. The Left controls the media and puts moderates in the spotlight on purpose to set the Overton Window to the Left. Moderates act as gatekeepers. The result serves the broad globalist Left in multiple ways. Firstly, it helps maintain liberalism and globalism as the mainstream default. Second, it helps normalize extreme leftism within the current political lexicon. Thirdly, it keeps people on the Right from straying further right away from liberalism and globalism into more genuine forms of rightism. .
