If you look at what that party did, what they implemented on their economy, it was not at all "right wing". For example, the Angry Mustache Man party told merchants that they owned their stores (or their leases), but the party set how much you could pay workers, how much you could charge for items, how much you had to pay for stock, etc. The merchants were just managers for the party.

@Klarkada , right wing ideals have always been about less government, not more. If you think otherwise, I don't know what to tell you.

@Klarkada , "More left means less government control." 🤣😆😆 I'm sorry. Were you serious? Let me laugh harder.

@Tarnatos14 , "It was righte wing in many aspects, for example a entrepreneur in nazi germny was mostely way more "free" to opperate, as before, as state guidelines for treating workers where less than before." This statement is patently false. The entrepreneurs did everything the way that the party wanted it done, and they paid taxes every which way. There was no freedom for entrepreneurship in Mustache Man Party Germany. Even the quote from Mustache Man himself that you gave is an inherently socialist ideal. The people were expected to march strictly to the drumbeat that Mustache Man set, and people died when they opposed that drumbeat. For example, the 1930s German Jazz scene was basically destroyed. Jazz was not considered disciplined enough by Mustache Man.

@Tarnatos14 , Mustache Man's socialism was a form of socialism. You're trying to engage in a logical fallacy. What you're doing is akin to this, "LASAGNA IS NOT THE SAME AS OTHER PASTA!" No, but it's still pasta. You still take dough, cut it into a specific shape, and then cook it. Fascism and communism are both socialist offshoots. They're both socialism. Stop trying to separate them, just because you think Mustache Man did so.

@vidanristic , yes, why would the leader do that? Maybe, just maybe, because Mustache Man felt guilty. Maybe, just maybe, he needed a villain, but he didn't want that villain to be destroyed before he was done with them? Humans are amazingly hypocritical and complex, when we want to be. Mustache Man was human.

@romanempire8370 , that's total f***ing nonsense, according to right wing ideals. Ethnicity or religion have never determined one's position according to right wing ideals. Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to lie to you.

@Sirkilla120 , which is a tenet of. . . socialism. It has never been right wing to merge corporate interests and the state. Under right wing ideals, the government and the corporations are separate entities, and the government only enforces contractual law and prohibition of monopolies. This ties in with complete capitalism, by which I mean, the free markets determine everything. No government handouts to businesses, no "loans" to major companies to keep certain industries afloat. No price caps. No minimum wage. Nothing, except the free market. If you examine the USA, the USA does not have capitalism today. The USA has a system of corporate cronyism, even among politicians who claim to be right wing (but don't embody right wing ideals). The USA did have capitalism once, but we can thank Alexander Hamilton for f***ing that up for us. Look into the "Whiskey Rebellion". My hairline is fine, thanks. It's called an undercut and a widow's peak. You should get an undercut, buddy. You would look more fresh.

@LalaDepala_00 , and that's actually damaging to those countries' economies.

@Matt-jc2ml , ermmmmm, no. If we define right and left according to basic principles of politicism, the usage is universal. The right wing, across the world, has always been less government, more freedom. This, for example, is what the classical Liberals wanted. The left wing always has been more government, to somehow - despite the irony of this - to increase freedom. The right says, "Leave the people alone", whereas the left says, "WE THE RULERS OF THE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THE PEOPLE NEED". As we have seen, more extreme forms of left wing ideals (Communism and Fascism) have resulted in the deaths of millions. Ironically, Fascism - despite being left wing in every single way, including its revolting ultra-nationalism (a trait it also shares with Communism) - is derided by modern academia, but Communism is praised by modern academia. Socialism is a failed ideology, that has resulted in chaos, death, and control of the masses. Sometimes that control is less extreme, like in modern Europe, thus the death and chaos is less extreme. But the chaos and death still exists.

@LalaDepala_00 , you need me to name a few examples? I will give you one, and then you will get on Google - like the good f***ing netizen you are and quit being lazy. Venezuela.

@LalaDepala_00 , oh, no. I sound angry and involved. You sound like a twat. Everyone should be angry and involved regarding socialism. It's an evil system that has killed millions, every flavor of socialism is bad. This is not a topic about which to be casual. Being an American (which I am, sure) shouldn't matter. Everyone in the world should absolutely loathe the idea that there are some people who think they know more about how to run your life than you do, and that's what left wing ideals are.

@LalaDepala_00 , you can't understand the world if you view it only through the lens of whatever country in which you reside either.
1
@darthplagueis13 , you have a severely mixed up idea of how left vs. right works. It's the opposite, actually. 🤣
1
@darthplagueis13 , or you could do some basic research, and stop being a tool. How about that? 🤣
1
@Tarnatos14 , oh, Jesus Christ. That was a word salad. Socialism IS ALWAYS left wing. End of story. Just because some jackasses claimed otherwise doesn't make it true.
1
@veganconservative1109 , now you're getting it. Well, you probably had it. I just wish the ID10Ts who think "KAMALA HAS GOOD VIBES, BRO!" would understand that Kamala's policies are textbook socialism, and that it hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried. Oh, sidenote. Don't turn this into more than it is. But the DNC kept saying, "Joy is our strength". Coincidentally, that was also the name of a Mustache Man Party pleasure club. Do with that what you will . . .

@Klarkada , you got that backwards, buddy. 🤣
1
@Klarkada , no, it isn't about that. Someone taught you wrong.
1
@Klarkada , no, buddy, I have read some books. This video shows how jackasses who live in socialist countries have been taught lies. Your own government controls most of your life, but you think you are free. You think, because brown shirts aren't marching down the road, that you are free. You think the brown shirts were right wing. You have been lied to, and you perpetuate those lies.

@Tarnatos14 , that's not how words work. The definition doesn't change based on something else. All socialism is a flavor of left wing ideals, played out differently. It's like different pizzas. A pepperoni pizza, to my people's taste buds, is very different than a vegetarian pizza. But they're both pizzas. Arguing otherwise I'd nonsensical. Similarly, Fascism (that's what Mustache Man's Party was: fascist) is a flavor of socialism. Communism is a flavor of socialism. Marxism is socialism. (Sidenote: do you know that, despite not being fans of communism, several of Marx's ideas were implemented by the Mustache Man's Party? The party leader all had received extensive educations in what we today might call "Liberal Arts".) Democratic socialism is socialism. Socialism exhibits control over the individual; under socialism, those in power know more about how to run your life you do. That is a left wing ideal.

@Tarnatos14 , you don't need a source. You need to learn to stop tyring to create Higelian dialogue. (Higelian dialogue is the process of taking seemingly differing ideas/positions and synthesizing those.) What you're trying to do is pull together all of these historical examples without realizing what all examples of fascism resulted in and how that related to socialism. You're trying to synthesize. Stop it. Learn to analyze, bud. Synthesis is not analysis.
1
@Tarnatos14 , bahahahaha. No. No. History is not about synthesizing sources. Synthesis is arguably the worst way to engage in dialogue. Stop synthesizing. Analysis does not include synthesizing.
1
@Tarnatos14 , do you not realize how that's absolute garbage? History is about analyzing the sources. LMAO You apparently live and breathe Higelian dialogue.

@romanempire8370 , false. The Mustache Man's Party was as left wing as they came.

@Langharig_Tuig , bingo.
