But neither system is based around two ideologies is the thing
Left/right isn't an ideology.
It's a label for ideological positions
An umbrella term if you will
Real Gamers know this
But it doesn't work
It's a system of values compiled through a spectrum
Right but nobody can name a consistent set of values
Oof has worked its way into my daily vocabulary.
Or plot ideologies consistently as per those sets
It's embarassing, in a way.
So a right wing party is pro traditionalism, constitutionalism, etc
A left wing party would be pro secularism, social programs, etc
Those are non exclusionary
You can be secular, support the constitution, support social programs and value tradition
You can adopt a wide variety of ideologies under one banner without being cornered
And then, the people in the party can say "I'm a constitutionalist", or " I'm a socialist"
Further, what was no child left behind, as poor a plam as it was? And alt right memestate enthusiasts will often advocate a heavy welfare state
That's the thing. The lines are unclear
Aren't alt right people national socialists?
Some of them might be yes, and a heavy social welfare state is lefty
technocratic monarchy is the best, prove me wrong
So what's the righty aspect?
The alt right isn't a good example here
Even ethnonationalists aren't necessarily natsocs.
It's a perfect example
Because where do they go?
Vernacular recommendation: we need words more relative to the Overton window, and not the political compass.
They didn't start off this way. A bunch of nazis took over the actual alt right.
Okay, but where do you put Nazis?
The Alt-Right was Poland
Radical centrists
The Nazis annexed it
The nazis are radical centrists.
And the media basically said 'sure, they can have THAT title...'
What right wing positions do they have?
Monarchy
Closed borders
I'm not buying Monarchy as 'right'
Monarchy is an authoritarian branch.
