  1. " We need to get back to incentivizing small and medium sized businesses, incentivizing innovation and regaining control of these massive corporations. " And that can only be done when we lower taxes, decrease the size of the Government and public sector in general etc. There are no incentives to put up a business if you are taxed to hell and better off working for an already established corporation, or for the Government itself.

  6. " Socialism IS democratic " Socialism has nothing to do with democracy. They are two different things, democracy being a form of governance while socialism being 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.

  14.  @seraphin01  ""Far-right politics, or right-wing extremism, is a spectrum of political thought that tends to be radically conservative, ultra-nationalist, and authoritarian, often also including nativist tendencies" Pretty much the complete opposite. Conservatism itself doesn't mean anything since the term is relative and depends what the country considers traditional. Being ultra-nationalist is a Leftist trait, since nationalism itself is a form of collectivism. Also authoritarianism is usually the hallmark of collectivism, hence the Left. If we agree that the Far-Left is represented by socialist and collectivist ideologies, then logic dictates, that the Far-Right would be represented by pro-Capitalist ideologies based on (Classical) Liberalism / Libertarianism, anti-establishment and limited government.

  22.  @ittestnow  "are you insane yeah the far left NAZI’s wanted to exterminate the far left Russians. " Yes, because according to the National Socialists, they were practicing socialism wrong. 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. “I have learned a great deal from Marxism as I do not hesitate to admit… The difference between them and myself is that I have really put into practice what these peddlers and pen pushers have timidly begun. The whole of National Socialism is based on it… National Socialism is what Marxism might have been if it could have broken its absurd and artificial ties with a democratic order.” — Hitler Speaks (1940)

  23.  @ittestnow  "You do know there are things called books and there are even history books." Yes, and I have plenty of them. I highly suggest you start from 'Mein Kamp' , the second part, if you want to know the basics of their ideology. Then "Hitler's National Socialism" by Rainer Zitelmann. Then "the Vampire Economy" by Günter Reimann.

  25.  @ittestnow  : Hitler never abolished unions. He merged and nationalized them into one single super union known as the Deutsche Arbeitsfront (DAF, or German Labor Front). Still the biggest union ever created in Europe at least. The DAF created one single overarching labor union. Essentially all German workers and employees in every economic sector belonged to the DAF. For example, farmers were coordinated into the Reich Food Estate. While traditional unions prioritized workers’ rights, the DAF emphasized national economic goals above personal well-being. Now if you want to talk about unions, well Hitler was merely imitating Lenin, who had earlier closed down all independent labor associations, factory committees and worker cooperatives, banned strikes, walkouts, and lockouts. Lenin even forced workers to work a slavish 80-hour week. After the Bolsheviks banned all labor unions, one unionist “described the unions as ‘living corpses.’” Any Russian worker who participated in general strikes was arrested, imprisoned or shot. Under Lenin’s regime, workers had no real representation or bargaining rights and were treated like industrial serfs who were chained to their factories. Although Hitler followed Lenin’s nationalizing craze, his treatment of workers did not mimic their Russian counterparts.

  33.  @alejandrobasombrio3803  "How is collectivism inherently leftist?" That is how the modern day political spectrum seems to work. After all, socialism is on the (far) left side of the spectrum. The fundamental differences between left-wing and right-wing ideologies center around the the rights of individuals vs. the power of the collective. Left-wing beliefs are based on the idea that society is best served with an expanded role for the collective, for the benefit of all (collectivism). Meanwhile 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.

  34.  @alejandrobasombrio3803  "Conservatism is somewhat "collectivist" for advocating for an homogeneous and traditional community, and integrism too for advocating for a theocracy. " Conservatism is a bit tricky, since by itself it doesn't mean anything per se, since it depends on what is considered "traditional" in whatever country we are talking about. What is considered traditional in China and America for example, is completely different. Integralism is just religious collectivism. For an individualist, makes no difference what subset of moral values the State is supposed to be enforcing... would still violate people's civil rights and freedom in general.
