now, an authoritarian capitalist would outlaw homosexuality WITHOUT seizing private businesses
And you can be left wing and authoritarian. Communism and fascism are left wing and authoritarian
Can you be right wing and authoritarian?
Yes but right wing authoritarian dictators tend to be rare. It's essent ially support for free market capitalism and a military dictatorship
so you agree the spectrum is 2D?
more freedom and happiness tends to exist under such a situation than under left wing authoritarian
Okay, so you're not absolutely retarded.
Pinochet is the most well known right wing authoritarian leader I can think of, and he wasn't a fascist
I'd say the spectrum cannot be defined by a number of dimensions
I have libertarian views on guns. Authoritarian views on most social issues.
Libertarian on most taxes
The spectrum is based on our current political climate
Fascism, theocracy, monarchy etc weren't factored in
tax is gay. The less I get taxed, the better
Pretty much
For the most part I only agree with defense tax. Military and police. But then again I think we could fund most of that in other ways
Seizure of criminal assets, and conquest of resources
Make mercenaries normal again
Woo lab night
I was speaking in terms of government only
Hitler was left as hell
The only thing more left is stalin
Basing your opinions of the opinions of a PhD doesnt make them right and only shows that he knows what's right not that you do or everything he writes is
Yeah Hitler was pretty far left on economics. Social issues, he doesn't fit on the scale at all.
Anything that uses neo is undoubtedly some leftist bull shit
Tony Stark for privatizing national security...
Neoconservative is nation building Boomer shit that still believes Russia is a communist country
Hitler was all over the place lol
And they'll give all our shekels to Israel
One thing that doesnt fit the spectrum is that hyper capitalism where businesses run the government
I'm not sure that has ever happened
Granted I guess that is kinda fuedal in a way
probably near anarchy
a corporate run gov
As each company is it's own "country" I guess it doesnt count as government over all
Mercenaries should be a thing
They should
I mean they kind of are.
It should be normal for the government to hire Xe, Wackenhut etc to fill up a certain percentage of the army
