  8. Fascism is far right. Right-wing politics are defined by defense of hierarchy. Fascists believed in the great inequalities of mankind. It’s just that the hierarchy they promoted differed from traditionalist or liberal conservatives.

  9.  @DAsAngel1960  there is barely anything oppressive about ottoman rule. this is evident in the fact that greeks still have their religion intact and turkish colonists are nowhere seen. while mexico doesn’t practice aztec religion anymore, and is 90% latino. actually, during ottoman era it was serbians and bulgarians that felt opressed by greeks, since initially the ottomans put greeks in charge of orthodox millet which meant the bulgarian and serbian churches were subservient to greek church.

  18.  @Historia_Magistra_Vitae.  Right-wing ideologies can be collectivist too. In fact, when the right-left distinction first emerged in post- Enlightenment Europe, right-wing politics started out as religiously collectivist monarchist conservatism, in contrast to left-wing individualist liberalism. The word “libertarian” was left-wing in origin. Only until liberalism was subsumed into conservatism, in opposition to radicals and socialists, were mainstream right-wing politics considered more “individualist.” Collectivist right-wing ideologies and political parties still exist, however, in the Islamic world, and in East Asia.

  19. ottomans actually freed greeks from their oppressive nobility that abused peasantry, that’s why ottomans took over greece so easily, since the greeks/romans chose to side with ottomans rather than their masters.

  27.  @justacommonman6010  it didn’t help them that much bc spain was still poor, britain and france lost their colonies, portugal lost their colonies. german and italian and austrian states did just fine without colonies. gdp per capita was relatively same among european countries with or without american colonies. same with african colonies. only netherlands had significant gdp per capita.. and that’s because most of their wealth came from spice trade in. indonesia not america. europeans only started to industrialize by deindustrializing india which was about to industrialize before british took over

  41.  @Historia_Magistra_Vitae.  Yes, classical liberalism is on the right because it prioritizes individual liberty over equality, in the form of not just political and social liberalism, but economic liberalism. This naturally creates hierarchies that are economic in nature, not based off feudal privileges. Equality is promoted only insofar as it maximizes this “liberalism” for everyone. Whereas socialism tends to prioritize equality over freedom, through social ownership of the means of production. So equality/inequality is still the determinant of the left/right split.

  42.  @Historia_Magistra_Vitae.  Would you consider the Taliban, Muslim brotherhood, Wahhabism not to be right-wing? As well as the LDP of Japan, and the KMT? Would you consider anarchism, commonly regarded as left-wing, to be right-wing instead?

  43.  @Historia_Magistra_Vitae.  Care to explain how Islamist extremists believe in egalitarianism, if they are so left-wing?

  44.  @vcxz5248  Classical liberalism doesn’t have clearcut stances on sociocultural issues, I believe. I would say it’s more centre-right owing simply to the emphasis on economic liberty.

  45.  @Historia_Magistra_Vitae.  And we should trust your definition of left-wing = collectivism, right-wing = individualism, based off what?

  46.  @regisglass5464  You would be more right about classical liberalism, it is rather apathetic towards the individual rights debated today. Libertarianism, on the other hand, prioritizes liberty above everything else, regardless of the demands of the state and market. It can either be collectivist (libertarian socialist) or individualist (right-libertarian).

  47.  @regisglass5464  Fascists were palingenetic ultranationalists, so they spoke of a non-existent, idealized past, and the “national rebirth” of it. In that sense, they were sometimes considered revolutionary as well as reactionary, borrowing futurist/modernist themes in their art and architecture, as they wanted to upend the entire social order. Some of their “progressive” policies, like eugenics, crackdown on organized religion, experimentations with polygamy, anti-regionalism, and economic interventionism, would be anathema to conservatives of then and now.
