Wikipedia only allows SPLC and ADL following activists to edit political stuff and then lock the page
Oh yes "muh Wikipedia is tainted by leftists" - is this why Wiki subscribes to anticommunist propaganda and calls Venezuela a dictatorship? 😂
it is though
dude... it's leftist in the liberal sense
wiki can be edited by anyone
And conservatism is derived from liberalism, what is your point ? @aymem
Like genuine question.
@aymem it is fascist in the 21st century sense though, arguably. Also communist parties are currently experiencing a rebound in popularity. Partly because fascism has been growing, but in larger part no doubt driven by automation and the displacement it causes
@Xinyue Fascism is a enlightenment born Modernist ideology, you're describing them as Reactionary which they're not
@Khat Emperor what?
>venezuela is fascist
LOL
lol
Who said Venezuela is fascist?
liberal =/= leftist
Reactionaries are worse than fascists
Read it slowly @aymem
nobody said Venezuela is fascist
The serb is showing his amazing reading skills again, don't mind
no
says that as the most matter of fact thing too
@Xinyue it isn't fascist in any sense, the nucleus of fascism is nationalism, fascism (nationalism) has been dead for a long time, the only resurgence you'll get of anything remotely fascistic would be nationalism, and even then it won't be fascism. And in the 21st century sense you have 2 examples of parties that you would call Fascist, one that is actually Fascist in that it actually follows the fascist tenets and doctrine, and one that is an ethno nationalist nativistic party
anyone who isn't a socialist isn't a leftist. communists, mutualists, anarchists, syndicalists, communalists, democratic confederalists, etc. etc. these are the left. the rest are just centrists
@Khat Emperor i'm not really focused on what you're saying, what is your point
Watching pseuds fight is hilarious
everyone uses the liberal spectrum
"left" and "right" are utterly meaningless concepts outside property relation
the property relation is what gives them meaning
Muh postmodernism
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
That is not a good way to tell the left from the right at all
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
the liberal definition is the mainstream definition
its literally the only definition of left and right that can ever hope to be objective and, therefore, useful
It's like you forgot left libertarians exist
:/
left libertarians by and large still want social ownership, such as libertarian marxists, libertarian socialists, anarcho-syndicalists etc
I disagree
