[W:583] Political Compass Thread

That graph is wrongly labelled.

One axis should relate to the distribution of political power with extreme right wing politics on one end (with all power in the state vested in one man) and political power spread as evenly as possible at the other end of the scale (otherwise known as democracy)

The other axis should relate to wealth, with the extreme right of the scale marked as capitalism (with extreme capitalism being everything in the state owned by one man). Whilst on the extreme left would be communism with everything equally shared.
I think that'd be a graph showing something completely different.
Belief in systems?

Not sure.

But it'd be interesting if that could be done.
 
You are a center-left social moderate.
Left: 1.43, Libertarian: 0.15

Betcha never would have guessed, right? LOL
 
Hippie.

Still roughly the same territory. I go back and forth on a few questions which seems to change the direction of my point slightly.

I recall getting something along the lines of "centrist social authoritarian" most recently, but the "test itself" is so full of holes and and vagilities that it's not worth taking with more than a grain of salt.

So you couldn't finish the test, or you don't want to admit that you are an authoritarian capitalist?

This is an absurd graph. Our Founding Fathers were libertarians NOT authoritarian.
They were what insane Democrats today call "right wing religious extremists."
The Left is fascist. Take Obama please. Democrats LOVED Hitler and his power and control. They wanted to emulate him.

Yes the socialists are always such fine and gentle people. Think USSR, starvation and murder, Chairman Mao, starvation and murder.
Why aren't there any of your successful "communes" anywhere in America? They have been tried and all of them failed miserably when the slugs just sit back and live off the backs of the workers, rather like Democrats do constantly. Gimme more, you have too much!

What is the source for your graph because it is laughably wrong due to the fact that it tries to chart X-Y information on a single line.

The framers abhorred a theocracy and that is why we have the Establishment clause that creates a strict separation of chich and state. The framers were not religious extremists and the US was not created as a Christian country, except in right-wing propaganda. Keep your religious myths to yourself.

I love how extreme right wingers try to pretend fascims is a left wing ideology while embracing fascists ideology
These people are not uneducated they are extremely miseducated by very very evil people

Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg documents the fascism of you Leftists, such as Antifa and Black Lives Matter. Power is all you crave, the power to control and as Thomas Sowell stated in one of his books, you are "booted and spurred" to ride those you hate and despise.

How is Leftist California working? I live in the People's Republic, where about half of all homeless suck off everyone else. Residents are fleeing People's Republic in droves. You can't find a U-Haul truck to rent. They've all driven to Texas and Tennessee and Idaho.

 
I still don't get what's wrong with the graph? Could you just explain in simple English without all the Dems suck stuff?
Liberalism is authoritarian. Move the "Authoritarian" label to the left side and the "Libertarian" label to the right side. This isn't hard.

Conservatism is libertarian. As our Founding Fathers were. It's called "liberty."
This is offensive to Leftists.

I seem to remember that Hitler didn't like black people,(Obama and Harris) interracial people or Catholics(Biden and Pelosi), or liberals, LGBT(Buttegeig), union leaders, or Jews.(Schumer and Sanders)

Trying to claim that Democrats are fascists is an obvious projection and attempting to rationalize the GOP's support of Trump.

There is no such thing as liberal fascism. That would be an oxymoron.

Thank you for explaining. Since I'm pretty much dead center, it doesn't really affect me though.

Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg



P 21 The introduction of a novel term like "liberal fascism" obviously requires an explanation. Many critics will undoubtedly regard it as a crass oxymoron. Actually, however, I am not the first to use the term. that honor falls to H.G. Wells, one of the greatest influences on the progressive mind in the twentieth century (and it turns out the inspiration for Huxley's Brave New World).

Nor did Wells coin the phrase as an indictment, but as a badge of honor. Progressives must become "liberal fascists" and "enlightened Nazis" he told the Young Liberals at Oxford in a speech in July 1932.



Wells, simply put, was enthralled by the totalitarian temptation. "I have never been able to escape altogether from its relentless logic," he declared.


Fascism, like Progressivism and communism, is expansionist because it sees no natural boundary to its ambitions. Progressivism envisions a New World Order.


P 23 Finally, since we must have a working definition of fascism, here is mine: Fascism is a religion of the state. It is totalitarian in that it views everything as political and holds that any action by the state is justified to achieve the common good.

P 27 the Italian Fascist movement (was founded) in 1919...

When Mussolini invaded Ethiopia, Americans finally started to turn on him.



More than a few prominent Americans continued to support him [Mussolini], although quietly. The poet Wallace Stevens, for example, stayed pro-Fascist. "I am pro-Mussolini, personally," he wrote to a friend. "The Italians have as much right to take Ethiopia from the coons as the coons had to take it from the boa-constrictors."



In 1927, the Literary Digest conducted an editorial survey asking the question: Is there a dearth of great men?" the person named most often to refute the charge was Benito Mussolini - followed by Lenin, Edison, Marconi, and Orville Wright, with Henry Ford and George Bernard Shaw tying for sixth place.



P 28 .. famed reporter Ida Tarbell... praised Mussolini's progressive attitude toward labor.... Similarly smitten was Lincoln Steffens...



As we'll see, Steffens saw no contradiction between his fondness for Fascism and his admiration of the Soviet Union.



P 29 America's education establishment was keenly interested in Italy's "breakthroughs" under the famed "schoolmaster" Benito Mussolini, who, after all, had once been a teacher.



Columbia University was Fascism's "veritable home in America" and a "schoolhouse for budding Fascist ideologues," according to John Patrick Duggins.


P 31 Mussolini, a lifelong socialist intellectual...

Mussolini declared often that the twentieth century would be the "century of Fascism".

Mussolini's father, Allesandro, was a blacksmith and ardent socialist with an anarchist bent who was a member of the First International along with Marx and Engels and served on the local socialist council. ... Mussolini's father read him passages from Das Capital.

P 64 Indeed, he [Hitler] would rail against the unearned wealth of the city's aristocrats and the need for social justice.



P67 Young Hitler showed up at a meeting of the German Workers' Party ready to dismiss it as just another left-wing fringe group. ... The title of Feder's talk that night: "How and by What Means Is Capitalism to Be Eliminated?"



P 68 He would become National Socialism's greatest salesman, not its creator. Even while Hitler was still pondering whether he should join the German Worker's Party, he received a membership card in the mail. He'd been recruited! He was given party number 555. Needless to say, it wasn't long before he was running the show.

P 70 ... the Nazis campaigned as socialists.

[The Nazi Party called itself "National Socialist Worker's Party". ]

P 71 The Nazi ideologist - and Hitler rival - Gregor Strasser put it quite succinctly: "We are socialists. We are enemies, deadly enemies of today's capitalist economic system with its exploitation of the economically weak, its unfair wage system with its exploitation of the economically weak, its unfair wage system, its immoral way of judging the worth of human beings in terms of their wealth and their money, instead of their responsibility and their performance, and we are determined to destroy this system whatever happens!"
