@large_taco@Kayjuiice@nyaraVT Fascists coined the term privatization, while socialist/communists want a worker owned means of production. You're so stupid
@safiabsmith1 Ohhh ok Britain. Well on a purely political party standpoint then it sort of works there too. Greens and reforms economic policies and foreign policies don’t work.
Lots of Americans on here my apologies.
@large_taco I'm British, so why would I be referring to America?
(America & Britain are actually becoming increasingly similar under privatisation & right-wing loon ideology, but that's by-the-bye).
Those being pitted as "far-left" are merely advocating for socialist policies in an economy that in recent decades & under the current government is right-wing.
@large_taco@nyaraVT Ah yes the people that can't tell apart the nazis and the guys that want to end poverty are not the crazy people in conjunction with the nazis sure bud :)
@safiabsmith1 I’m guessing you’re talking about America?
I’m not American and talking about world wide and in history.
America has a far right problem not a far left problem. Horseshoe doesn’t really fit in that sense.
I think people think I’m talking about America which I’m not.
@large_taco I'm aware... & what difference does that make to my point about the view of many folk in this country?
I was making use of your diagram to clarify the difference, since there's likely very few truly far-left people in this country, contrary to what the reactive far-right claim.
@VOR467@nyaraVT Not tryna debate anything trans. I mean trans right are human rights. Nothing to debate. No clue why she put that on there. That’s why.
@large_taco@nyaraVT You literally proved the meme right, man... the idea is that someone could just randomly call someone's opinion stupid, and because they have something unrelated, they got asked to debate their stance on that stupid opinion or unrelated bs.
@large_taco@Kayjuiice@nyaraVT i'm not trying to debate you, I am asking you questions。
You are trying to make fascism and communism interchangeable economic ideology。
You used Stalin as a means to make this comparison, knowing Stalin is an autocratic leader, unrelated to Marx's work。
@RoombaDori@RabbidTheNabb1t@nyaraVT Communism and fascism are ridiculously close in practice. Zero civil liberties and full state control.
Socialism is the polar opposite to conservatism and they aren’t that close.
@RJSHutton Giving everyone basic needs covers centre right to the moderate left 😭
You’re thinking horseshoe theory applies to you. It doesn’t. It applies to the FAR left and FAR right. The crazies.
@merrymary69wee@nyaraVT Do you think centrists just sit down and say “I have no opinion either way”
No we are just realists.
Far right policies are ludicrous. Trump is the 2nd worst president OAT if you’re speaking American politics.
@RabbidTheNabb1t@nyaraVT Again you’re comparing socialism to nazism.
Neither are direct political opposites.
Communism is the fascism or nazism political polar opposite I hate to break it to you…
@erotopius@Kayjuiice@nyaraVT This isn’t really a debate you just keep saying “why”
If you really want me to go into it, Nazism and Stalinism are the prime fascist and communist totalitarian ideologies. But if you read the book or paper it’s not just on them.
@large_taco@c75qffxtfj@erotopius@Kayjuiice@nyaraVT Lenin’s regime brought Russia from the ashes into a beautiful phoenix that uplifted its people out of poverty and death into one of the most advanced nations in the world.
To compare it to fascism is so wrong I question not only your education, but also your motivations.
@large_taco@nyaraVT Nah. That's just something people on the right say to self-soothe because they know all of the **shittiest** people are on their side.
@c75qffxtfj@erotopius@Kayjuiice@nyaraVT That is no way near what I said 💀
Liberal democracies are the norm in the western world.
So I will ask you AGAIN. When as a liberal democracy massacred millions of its own citizens?
@large_taco@erotopius@Kayjuiice@nyaraVT “We’re a liberal Democracy because we have not murdered one million citizens in a targeted attempt at one time. That is the bar since Large Taco said so”
@c75qffxtfj@erotopius@Kayjuiice@nyaraVT a government that combines democratic elections with the protection of individual liberties, rule of law, and limited state power. It ensures free and fair multi-party elections, universal suffrage and separation of powers.
Not hard.
