You can move that national socialism over there with Marxism because they are both far left ideologies.

Political ideology is a straight line based on govt control v. individual freedom.
The extreme left is communism (now called the US Democrat party), monarchy, dictatorships, etc.
On the extreme right is anarchy. The rioters are not anarchists. They're communists.
Anarchy = the American pioneers who traveled west.
There was no law. Anarchy =/= Chaos.
/\ THIS /\ I understand and agree with.

Because you’re a smartass idiot on the Tiger Rant and the poliboard, but you never want to actually jump out there and say anything specific.
I will very gladly break my foot off in your arse in an economic/history/ideology debate. So again, kindly tell me A. what I’m wrong about and B. why I’m wrong if you’re so confident. I actually understand what I’m talking about and you’re some jerkoff lawyer with no education or knowledge on what you’re trying to be condescending about.

A lot to dissect on this graphic. I am not sure I agree with everything represented here, but I do tend to think people on the fringes have a lot more in common with each other than they do with centrists. What says the poliboard?

Oh, I'm sure. I can tell you're all about nuance and thoughtful analysis.

The left in this country is always a coalition because individually their ideas can’t win. The modern Dems are made up of Fascist, communist, Marxist and radical Islamist. They can unite for a single issue and they’re partnered in their hate for the west and free will but even if they win they’ll be at each other’s throats very soon. We’ve already seen this happening within the party.

Here’s the thing, you can get your rocks off laughing at “uneducated troglodytes” that think communist and fascists are the same and never contribute to the discussion, but what you fail to see through your condescension is that both communism and fascism result in the EXACT SAME end for the populace. Strict, unyielding, heartless control and no freedom.
So yes, look down your nose at those who are incorrect in the theory and continue to ignore their accuracy in what actually happens when these theories are practiced.

Which one of those is leavemethefrickaloneism?
Posted on 9/25/20 at 11:06 am to Purple Spoon
Anarchist according to that chart. Although communism and anarchism sprout from the same seed, removal of power from the elite and distribution of it to the mass.
Posted on 9/25/20 at 11:06 am to Purple Spoon
None, they’re all parasitic ideologies

Economics and history. Yours? Judging by the fact that you don’t understand simple left/right wing economics or the fact that economic and social ideologies exist on different axes, not history or economics. I guess it must be nice to be such an idiot that you don’t know you’re making an arse out of yourself

Well, I'd disagree with the same results thought, but what's wrong with pointing out the inaccuracy?

I think the primary point of the illustration is to show the extremes on both sides have more in common with themselves than they do with centrists.

I'm sure we've all studied economics and history to some extent or another. You're casting aspersions on my education. How much did you study these subjects? Where? Do you have one or more degrees?

What makes you think I don't understand these matters?

Again, why am I an idiot? Because I disagree with your characterization?

Expound upon your disagreement. Pointing out the inaccuracy without detailing why it’s wrong is simply complaining and is a waste of everyone’s time.
