  2.  @vem9583  "I meant the far right, the Finns. " They aren't Far-Right, and there is no mainstream Far-Right party in Finland nor in the whole Europe for that matter.

  4.  @amaniexetsio2749  "So they are conservative and reactionary. This is a characteristic of the far right." Nothing to do with how left/right works.

  5. Conservatism has nothing to do with the left/right spectrum.

  9.  @superfranky8054  : It's not a matter of belief, hun. It's a historical fact. You cannot be an advocate for centralized planning and strong government controls without being a socialist. That's what made Hitler a socialist. He may have been to the right from the Bolsheviks, but he was still a socialist leftist as he believed in strong central government control. Hitler outright declared himself a socialist in Mein Kampf, just not the Marxist international or full Soviet type. He struggled with HOW to distinguish his socialism from the rest of the Marxist crowd.

  10. There is no Fascism anywhere in Europe.

  11.  @jal1837  "TrueFinns (the far right party) " They are not far-fight. They are center-right at best.

  12. Very little to do with the Far-Right.

  13.  @meretricioussimp7759  : They would belong to the socialist category then.

  14.  @wooy1701  "no one wants to be seen as the party that allowed the far right to power in germany, " Germany never had Far-Right in power.

  15. "I'll always be confused about people who vote far right to be anti-establishment. They're conservatives. " Conservatism is not Right wing nor Left wing for that matter. There is no single set of policies regarded as conservative because the meaning of conservatism depends on what is considered traditional in a given place and time. It has nothing to do with the political spectrum really. It's a stance against Progressivism. Both are completely relative terms and change country-by-country basis.

  16. It's a mixture of Left and Far-Left parties.

  17.  @surfacepro3328  : How does the government, public sector and national dept in general keep growing if there is "neoliberalism" ? Austerity is the natural result of government overspending.

  18. There is no Fascism in France, nor anywhere in Europe.

  20. There is no 'f ar-rig ht' party in Fin  land at all.

  21. There is no left/right social spectrum. They are on the scale between Conservatism and Progressivism.

  22.  @kiern1285  : Literally nothing to do with Capitalism. On the contrary, this is about socialist policies.

  23. "fascist extreme right wing" Doesn't exist. Fascism was a Far-Left ideology, and Extreme Right would be Anarcho-Capitalism.

  24. Wrong. Conservatism and Progressivism have nothing to do with the modern day left/right spectrum.

  25. Wrong. RN is a centrist party, and there is no Far-Right in France.

  26.  @locorum9103  "The entire reason immigration is so high in the UK is that there is a severe shortage of essential workers in various sectors." Are you suggesting that 100% of the UK immigrants are working then? None of them are unemployed?

  27. Well that is how "green energy" works... you subsidize the carbon footprint. Everything looks greener on the paper when your country isn't polluting, but the country you buy the energy from, is.

  28. "Fascist far-right" Doesn't exist. Fascists were Far-Left socialists... the French should know, after all, it was one of their prominent Marxist figures, Georges Sorel, who greatly influenced Mussolini.

  29.  @eges72  : What "mythologized fairy tale" would that be exactly?

  30. Many people have no clue how Left/Right spectrum works anymore. The fundamental differences between Left wing and Right wing ideologies center around the rights of individuals vs. the power of the collective. Left wing beliefs are based on the notion that society is best served with an expanded role for the collective in-group (collectivism). People on the Right believe that the best outcome for society is achieved when individual rights and civil liberties are paramount (individualism) and the role — and especially the power — of the government is minimized. - The more Right you go, the more individual rights and liberties are allowed, hence resulting in an economic liberalization and eventually, Laissez-faire. - The more Left you go, the more collectivism is unleashed upon the society, hence resulting in an economic centralization and usually Socialism.

  31.  @kataroquasinzki7383  : There is no Capitalism here, only left leaning Mixed economies. America doesn't have Capitalism either, just same mixed economies like 99% of the modern day countries. Regarding "inequality", the life and reality is unequal by default.

  36. AfD is Center-Right in reality. Many people have no clue how Left/Right spectrum works anymore. The fundamental differences between Left wing and Right wing ideologies center around the rights of individuals vs. the power of the collective.

  37. "Basic Finns (literal translation of their Finnish name) is a far-right party," Wrong. There is no "far-right" in Finland. The 'Basic Finns' party is more or less center-right.

  38. " from the f ar-ri ght, " There is no such thi ng in Finland.

  39.  @otherhouse  "Li Andersson is not marxist." According to her own words, she certainly is.

  40. "Going by what I can find the Finns Party is fascist with important figures having publicly known ties to nazi-movements across Scandinavia." That would make the Finns, a Far-Left party then, since both Fascism and National Socialism were 3rd position, socialist movements. Are you sure, that you are using those words correctly?

  41.  @Argacyan  "I am using those words correctly" The Finns most certainly aren't Fascists by any means however. They are nationalists if anything.

  42.  @bjoardar  "The German Nationalist Socialist party was as socialist as the Democratic Republic of North Korea is democratic." NSDAP by definition was a socialist party. You cannot be an advocate for centralized planning and strong government controls without being a socialist. That's what made Hitler a socialist. He may have been to the right from the Bolsheviks, but he was still a socialist leftist as he believed in strong central government control. Hitler outright declared himself a socialist in Mein Kampf, just not the Marxist international or full Soviet type. He struggled with HOW to distinguish his socialism from the rest of the Marxist crowd. North Korea is also democratic to a degree, since they allow people to vote and hold elections in the first place. Meanwhile in other socialist countries like Cuba, neither voting nor elections are a thing.

  43. @Minimmalmythicist : There are no Far-Right candidates in whole Europe, and you have no clue what that word even means.
