@katiek.8808 Socialism was never even tried. You had some elemenst here and there like health care and education for everyone - and that never failed. But that's not socialism, it's more social elements. Socialism means, that you got no oligarchs, no plutocrats, that your economy isn't owned and ruled by a few ultra rich families, but that it serves the whole society. That's why it is called SOCIAlism.

@katiek.8808 Marxism is the exact opposite, child. Why use a word you clearly got no clue about?

@tynao2029 Socialism means that the economical power is in the hand of the people. The words itself is smearing that pretty much in your face, beause it comes from the greek word "societas" = society. It's the economical part of democracy. You are against socialism = you are against democracy. Even worse, because the control of the economy is FAR more important than all thepolitical stuff, because people NEED the economy to survive.

Right IS the whole class thing! Hell! What do you people think left and right means? Left = egalitarian, all humans are equal in worth and rights. Right = elitism, humans are not equal, but are seperated in classes with the upper classes ruling over the lower classes and exploit them, all as some kind of divine right.

@iller3 What they ARE using the labels for, because guess what: They are using them wrong. For just that purpose. Look at the second comment here, the guy coming up with "america divided by race, gender, class, feelings". You can be 99% sure that he thinks that this is leftism, while it's the opposite. How does he come to that absurd idea? Because right wing propaganda told him so, pushing him away from the side that stands for general human rights and dragging him toward slavery. And no, this is not about Dems vs Reps - they are both right wing extremists. The whole show of the Dems to be called leftists is one of the main tools of that distraction. You simply got no choice in your system. That's the whole point of it. And all the sparkles around it are just their to make you accept that.

@TheGreatRepeller Pretty sure you don't even know what socialism means. Not that you are alone with that.

Your problem is that you don't even know what left and right means - what is your own fault. Instead of left use human rights. Instead of right use despotism. Different words for the same thing - but of course far more obvious. And now guess why your right wing system and media loves to use left and right instead.

@memeefreedom1 Plutocracy is an oligarchy. Plutocracy = the rich rule. Oligarchy = the few rule. Oligarchy is simply more general.

Ugh... "the oligarchy" IS "the right". Why do people use left and right when they don' even know what these words mean? That's so stupid.

You do get that your government (Dems and Reps) ARE a big part of "the right", yes?

How can you be coservative (= you want monarchy and aristocracy back) and socialist? That's two completely different things. But let me guess: you fall for that nonsense that conseverative stands for "family values", yes? You really think that socialists or leftists in general got something against a standard family? Your whole posts screams that you fall for all the cheap right wing tricks, making it look good and smearing the left. Take the identity politics thing for exampoe, typical right wing propaganda - and THEY are the ones who are pushing it. Why? Because it distracts the stupid. And your powerful coroporations making the laws and all, that's exactly what rightism means. "We need to focus on working people having rights and property!" = that's very leftist. Now depending on if you mean solely working people and fuck everyone else, that may change the thing, because being for worker rights but against human rights is of course still fucked up.

@reaper_exd7498 Rightism, child. That's nothing new. But I guess you don't know that as so many other things.

@hihihihihello What by the way ist what rightism means: billionair class screwing everyone over = hardcore rightism.

Democracy = radical leftist principle. Leftists because this stands for all humans are equal of worth and rights, what you need for a democracy as basis and radical because radical, that comes from the greek word "root", means, that it is "rooted" on that principle, build upon this base. Oligarchy = radical right wing. Right because this stands for elitism, that humans are not equal and that an upper class is ruling over the lower classes. What do peopel think that left and right means? Strong and weak state? That makes no sense. Why should a brutal right wing state be weak? And when you take something like communism: this is absolutely about a weak if not even non-existing state. But I guess this comes from the idea the right wing neoliberalisms (what got nothing to do with liberalism by the way) is pushing, wanting a "weak state" and all. But the thing is: they want a weak state so they can exploit it. And guess what "state" stands for in a democracy with focus on a government? It stands for what the people voted for. So in such a system going for a weak state simply means, that they want that the influence of the people is weak, so they can make all the decisions and control everyone. As said: left and right got nothing to do with how strong a state is.

Center does not exist, it's newsspeak for right. Liberarian would he hardcore left wing if you really mean it, Right if you just use it as excuse that you do what you want on cost of others. And that you bring up people with pink hair shows alone that you fall for the whole propaganda show of the right (what in the USA is both, your Dems and your Reps, you simply got no choice).

That's not possible. The whole point of left and right is, that they are absolute opposites. You literally say something on the level that slaveholders and slaves must unite. Or that the monarchists and the human right activists must join forrces. That CAN'T happen, because as long as one side is fighting FOR general human rights and the other side is absolutely AGAINST it - how shall this work? The only way for this to work is left ceasing to be left and join the right wingers and give up on human rights or the right ceases to exist by giving up on their class system and how the 'strong' shall rule over the 'weak'.

So you want that those who are for general human rights (the left) and the Oligarchs/those who are for that (the right) unite and defeat the Oligarchy (the right)? Yes? Sound at best like the idea that the right will just give up, while in reality it would just work as it does now = the right wings and rules, while the left can stand there and demonstrate for something it will never get, because it made the mistake to go along with the oppressor and the system he created. If you put a pacifist and a warmonger into a room and say, they shall work together, it's more than unlikely that the pacifist will win, since the warmonger can just use all kind of violence and manipulation, while the pacifist can only use reason, what the warmonger obviously gives a fuck about.

"They" = the right. United we stand = leftism. You literally just said that the left must defeat the right.
1
You do get that left and right are absolute opposites, left standing for general human rights and right standing for despotism in all its forms? How exactly do you want to make this work?
