Facts matter.
this is true if you treat the "right" as classical liberalism when liberalism is actually in the center of politics. This is incredibly basic political knowledge and you just don't get it.
I've clarified my use of the term "right" in this thread to mean small government conservatism. I accept there are people on the right who are not for small government, just big government with different policy objectives.
"small government conservatism" is liberalism. Get it right
Not for the last century or so, no.
My surprised face.
Try as you might, they were right wing dictators. Even communism was rightwing despite the word play. As soon as one becomes a dictator it doesn't matter what they claim to be, they're far right. When freedom is taken away, Far Right...
Sorry, I don't accept dogma as valid reasoning.Try as you might, they were right wing dictators. Even communism was rightwing despite the word play. As soon as one becomes a dictator it doesn't matter what they claim to be, they're far right.
All I can tell you is the democracy is the worst form of govt. besides all the others. You want to take us out of the frying pan and into the fire.
& I don't take faux political science as truth. When they take away freedom, they're Far Right. Stalin didn't run a communist country. He dictated what was to be with no intent of making the proles partners in the endeavor. Plus there was an elite group who didn't share in the deprivation. As is Pooten, now. Dictators may pay lib service to left wing ideals, but y'all gotta look at the reality.
Yet the self avowed fascists and Nazis that organized the Charlottesville rally, called it the "Unite the Right" rally, not the Unite the left rally.
Bingo. The right are the ones that want to take away rights and see the people as nothing but pawns in their quest for absolute power. They try to trick them into liking being pawns with empty promises and demonizing the opposition by projecting their evil ambitions on them.Try as you might, they were right wing dictators. Even communism was rightwing despite the word play. As soon as one becomes a dictator it doesn't matter what they claim to be, they're far right. When freedom is taken away, Far Right...
Stop beating a dead horse. There is no such thing and small Govt. conservatives. That is a myth that only rears its ugly head when the right is out of power.
Sounds like trump
Were Stalin’s methods closer to big government liberals or small conservatives?& I don't take faux political science as truth. When they take away freedom, they're Far Right.

What is “untrue?” Don’t paraphrase. Quote the words I wrote that you believe are false and explain why you believe they’re false.
And with that you’ve demonstrated you’re lying. You didn’t quote anything I said because you know if you did you wouldn’t be able to prove it to be untrue.
No, you simply have that wrong. Were I attempting to define the entirety of the right as being small government conservatives you would have a point, but I’m not, so you don’t. “The right” does include small government conservatism, but the right is not defined exclusively by small government conservatism. I made this point earlier.
You’re clinging to labels without thinking about how degrees of government authority create similarities and differences. But thanks for brining up for-profit capitalism being “aligned with the regime’s political agenda,” i.e. government exercising its authority and dictating what businesses should and should not do as opposed to the more limited role of maintaining open and fair markets. That is a specific example of what the progressive left has in common with totalitarian regimes: politically motivated industrial policy. Small government conservatives reject that.
