everyone uses the liberal spectrum

2018-12-18 10:59:59 UTC  

"left" and "right" are utterly meaningless concepts outside property relation

2018-12-18 11:00:12 UTC  

the property relation is what gives them meaning

2018-12-18 11:00:20 UTC  

Muh postmodernism

2018-12-18 11:01:01 UTC  

left wing = prioritises social ownership
right wing = prioritises private ownership

and we see this even happen! by and large, ancaps, conservatives, economic liberals, etc. are considered to be right-wing, and social democrats, socialists, communists etc. are considered to be left wing. the property analysis is valid whether or not you like it

2018-12-18 11:01:44 UTC  

That is not a good way to tell the left from the right at all

2018-12-18 11:01:44 UTC  

it doesn't matter though, this is how it's defined by your side, but you're an extremely small minority, you can't expect most people to use your definition

2018-12-18 11:01:50 UTC  

the liberal definition is the mainstream definition

2018-12-18 11:02:01 UTC  

its literally the only definition of left and right that can ever hope to be objective and, therefore, useful

2018-12-18 11:02:06 UTC  

It's like you forgot left libertarians exist

2018-12-18 11:02:14 UTC  

:/

2018-12-18 11:02:26 UTC  

left libertarians by and large still want social ownership, such as libertarian marxists, libertarian socialists, anarcho-syndicalists etc

2018-12-18 11:02:36 UTC  

I disagree

2018-12-18 11:02:49 UTC  

have you read libertarian marxists, libertarian socialists and anarcho-syndicalists?

2018-12-18 11:02:56 UTC  

libertarian left is still pro social ownership

2018-12-18 11:03:05 UTC  

@Xinyue i'm not saying your method is wrong, what i'm saying is that most people just do not use that method and it's only focused on the economic side of things, if we had a social spectrum, economic spectrum etc etc then yeah

2018-12-18 11:03:10 UTC  

in fact it demands complete abolition of private property in many cases

2018-12-18 11:03:12 UTC  

Simple, you said that wikipedia is leftist in the liberal sense(in a effort to discret the info on their) and i replied with saying that conservatism is derived from liberalism(meaning that you also could try to discret conservative sources) @aymem

2018-12-18 11:03:28 UTC  

Liberalism and being Liberal isn't the same thing...

2018-12-18 11:03:36 UTC  

No it's pro social aid programs libertarianism is about personal rights which communism is opposed to

2018-12-18 11:03:37 UTC  

Nah, that's just an american thing @Xinyue

2018-12-18 11:03:50 UTC  

communism isn't opposed to people having rights wtf

2018-12-18 11:03:50 UTC  

😄

2018-12-18 11:03:54 UTC  

Conservatism is still liberalism

2018-12-18 11:03:58 UTC  

derived from liberalism

2018-12-18 11:04:05 UTC  

"left libertarian"

2018-12-18 11:04:07 UTC  

as is Liberal (ism)

2018-12-18 11:04:10 UTC  

I bet this is some dumb American thing

2018-12-18 11:04:12 UTC  

At least we agree on that @aymem

2018-12-18 11:04:12 UTC  

but that wasn't my point at all

2018-12-18 11:04:21 UTC  

god American politics suck

2018-12-18 11:04:26 UTC  

You're right

2018-12-18 11:04:35 UTC  

Oh you are European that explains why you are an idiot

2018-12-18 11:04:37 UTC  

@Spookaswa i was a fascist, for like 2 years, trust me Golden Dawn is not a Fascist party...

2018-12-18 11:04:41 UTC  

"Do you want to have a Neoliberal, or a Neoconservative, take your pick, goy"

2018-12-18 11:04:42 UTC  

How isn't liberalism not similar to liberals?

2018-12-18 11:04:42 UTC  

@Josh42A go to sleep mutt

2018-12-18 11:04:44 UTC
