  3. If they are economically centrists, then they are not Libertarians as in socialists or what you probably meant to say, Liberals, as in favor of free market and laissez-faire economics. They are neither.

  4.  @neotropos  "you can be libertarian and socially conservative at the same time." Well conservatism by itself doesn't really tell us much as the meaning of conservatism depends on what is considered traditional in a given place and time.

  6.  @neotropos  "Nowadays Libertarianism is generally considered right of centre, " No. Libertarianism still is a socialist ideology. The proper word is Liberalism, as it was put forth by John Locke and it is on the Far-Right. Nothing to do with centrism.

  18. The baseline for Far-Right would be any ideology advocating for the principles of Classical Liberalism; free market capitalism and laissez-faire economics and civil liberties under the rule of law, with special emphasis on individual autonomy, limited government, economic freedom, political freedom and freedom of speech. The most notable Far-Right person in power currently, would be Javier Milei. Probably the only Far-Right person also in mainstream politics.

The fundamental differences between left-wing and right-wing ideologies center around the the rights of individuals vs. the power of the government. Left-wing beliefs are based on the idea that society is best served with an expanded role for the government. People on the right believe that the best outcome for society is achieved when individual rights and civil liberties are paramount and the role — and especially the power — of the government is minimized.

  39.  @TominaHerself  "Fascist weren't socialist and nor were the nazis. " Wrong. Both were socialist ideologies. Socialism is an economic system where the collective (such as workers, guilds, the government etc.) either directly own or control the buildings and tools that make goods and services like farms and factories. This can be achieved through decentralized and direct worker-ownership, or through centralized state-ownership or control of the means of production. Fascism and National Socialism had the latter.

  40.  @TominaHerself  "If you think that nazis were socialist just because "they had socialism in the name", than by that logic Democratic Republic of Korea is "democratic, because it has 'democratic' in the name"." It has very little to do with the name, and everything to do with their economy, which was based on socialism. Regarding North Korea, it most certainly is democratic to a degree and more democratic than some other socialist countries. For example they allow people to vote and hold election in the first place, unlike in places like Cuba, were neither are a thing.

  41.  @TominaHerself  "The ones who resisted nazis were mainly socialist (look up partisans)." Who resisted the Nazis were Marxists, which is a rival socialist ideology. In fact, both Fascism and National Socialism came from the belief that the "Stateless and Classless society" Communism calls for after its dictatorship cannot achieve Socialism, and that only the State can properly organize a Socialist Society.

  42.  @TominaHerself  "As the saying goes "Cut a liberal, and a fascist bleeds"" Which makes no sense whatsoever, since Fascism opposed Liberalism. Americans specifically have no clue what these words even mean.

  43.  @TominaHerself  "it was wealthy liberal business owners that supported him; while only socialists were against him" The fact that some entrepreneurs, faced with the alternative of Marxism or Nazism, chose the latter, does not require any further explanation. They preferred to live as shop managers under Hitler than to be "liquidated" as "bourgeois" by Marxists. People don't like to be killed any more than other people do.
