@tatjanaflugel396 Oh, sure, just do. I mean, most of you don't use them right anyway and now guess why the corrupt, right wing system loves using these words you are not using right, hm?
Instead of leftism you can just say general human rights.
Instead of rightism you can just say: despotism, slavery, exploitation.
That's what the two opposites stand for. One for the idea that all humans are equal in righst and worth. And the other one that the thousands of years of oligarchs exploiting the masses is the only right way to go.
Left was called the try to get these rights. Right was called what was against it, keep the king, the aristocracts, the rich and and the slaveholders.
But you people think it stands for... whatever. Strong state vs weak state? As if that even makes sense, since of course despotic states (= right wing) got a very powerful state. Right wingers are against a strong state when this state is suppposed to stand for the right of the masses. Then, yes, they want a weak state = weak rights = weak people, so they can easily exploit them.

Ugh.
Russia had a revolution from the left going against the right wing extreme of a monarchy and all this comes with, but of course things never end as they are planed, especially not because you will always have the violence and counter revolution of the former system intervening and of course new right wing elements trying to take over and seize power. (right = elitisms = few rule over the many, left = egalitarian = all people are equal in worth).
It's of course not that simpole as Lenin vs Stalin. Not even as simple as just taking the Soviet Union, because one of he main factors for the bad development was the constant and often up to existencial threat from the outside, with the new Soviet Union being attacked from the start - and pretty much up to today.
Lenin himself said, that they merely reached State Capitalism, what was fine with him as a step toward socialism, but it's not just Stalin being against that, it was simply not possible. Socialism and Communism are no systems of war. When you are threatened by fascism in every way possible form the outside, there is no way to develope such systems.
That's why they got social elements here and there, but when it came to power and economy, kept everything under the typical right wing control = a brutal power hierarchy.
Because they wanted it? Not even worth to ask, because they simply had to. There was no room for any othe decision when genocide is standing is running through your door.
