Classical liberalism is left-wing???

YEs because it's egalitarian. It presupposes the rights of man and so on.

Right wing is hierarchical.

Egalitarian vs. hierarchical as a basis for a left-right dichotomy is a fucking meme and you should know that.

Oh right. Metaphysics is a meme now.

Well, good luck!

In context of modern politics classical liberalism would be center if anything.

Is this another one of those things where you make an ass out of yourself and then leave in an exasperated sigh?

Go on. I'm waiting.

Well, I haven't made an ass out of myself.

Yet. For a second time.

There's still time.

Egalitarian vs. Hierarchical may be "a fucking meme", but that's what is accepted on the right.

That's what we think, and if you don't like it, we don't care.

Classical liberalism has as its focus individualism, not necessarily egalitarianism as a virtue but as a means to an end of efficient organization of society through what today is interpreted as free market principles.

So barking up the wrong tree a little bit to classify it as egalitarian.

Yes, "free market" competition as regulated by the state.

Otherwise: Ancap.

Actually with limited state regulation. Close but no cigar.

Yes, so it's egalitarian.

As opposed to an aristocratic, monarchist, or fascist state.

Wait, do you think classical liberals are anarcho-capitalists?

No, but they swim around in the same pool.

And here I thought leftists were retarded

So you would classify anything that promotes equality of opportunity as leftist?

What exactly is retarded about the observation that ancaps and liberals agree that free market competition + individualism is good?

You want to classify egalitarianism as left-wing when it's such a broad and applicable term that it becomes meaningless. That's why the left-right dichotomy is largely useless as a technical classification.

Well, I honestly can't be bothered

I mean where do I go from here

Egalitarianism is left wing

Is it your habit to claim you can't be bothered whenever you say something stupid and indefensible?

To deny that is just fucking stupid

It's just an outright lie

I mean you're just an embittered liberal who hates America

I'm a liberal thanks for telling me. Never knew. I thought I was a fascist but I guess you corrected me.

I've never known a fascist be so ridiculously petty as you

It's impossible to have a discussion because you refuse to agree on definitions

First Left Right egalitarian vs. hierarchicality was "a fucking meme"

Now it's "largely useless"

well then there is no point even discussing anything because your worldview doesn't allow for large categories, apparently

Nobody takes the left-right dichotomy outside of context specific politics, like in America where liberals are the "left" and conservatives are the "right". Outside of American politics, not only is that incorrect but those categories break down.
