sure
the dichotomy is individualism and collectivism
individualism meaning your ideology and collectivism meaning basically everything else
there's just a definition, and a tactic of lefists to try and trick people by bending or just changing definitions of words
get your own terms
it doesnt matter if he created "left wing" or "right wing" terms... since we are talking about the political compass
I arent trying to sound like a shit or anything mate, I'm just saying I could make a graphic representing some concept... but I wouldn't get to redefine the concept
and of course it's misleading as well
it's linguistic inversion
because this definition "individualism" fairly arbitrarily excludes certain forms of collective authority
because again
@wacka the Pelosi speech gave me Corona

rip
You're basically retarded if your identity with each of those terms
even locke
who would be very right wing by modern standards
Or associate it with a political ideology
demanded the collectivization of the state
is that link supposed to poitn me to FAQ #16?
he's replying to this https://twitter.com/BBCPolitics/status/1225140630013272064
collectivised states don't work well, they work better as a pseudo-executive
i mean that's what you support isn't it
do you support a republic?
do you think the legitimacy of the state rests on the consent of the governed?
i don't have strong views either way
do you think the state should be subject to laws passed by representatives elected by its citizens?
but a constitution and transparent processes with objective standards that people can hold them to are vital
and why our governments are so shit
because they don't have either
and who interprets the constitution
an objective constitution doesn't require much interpretation
yeah right
a precedent-led interpretation works fine
this sort of idea always means kritarchy
precisely because there will always be an institution that interprets law
endless reinterpretation of laws and principles guarantees rights get undermined and you end up with communism
which is why your sort pushes it so heavily
