🚨The political spectrum is a line, not a circle. With total government control on one end and no government whatsoever on the other. We were given a constitutional republic (rule by law), whose intent was to protect the minority, or the one, from the force of the majority.
You are asking the wrong question. The use of right and left is a psyops to keep ppl locked into a false paradigm. That terminology is new within the last 70 yrs and it’s purposely misleading. It infers opposites. The actual question we should be asking is based on the amount of freedoms an individual has under a particular type of government or political structure.
When comparing political or governmental structures on the basis of freedom you quickly understand that communism, socialism, totalitarianism are all about absolute power vested in the state. Republics are on the opposite side of the continuum with anarchy being the extreme opposite with no overarching government.
Once you properly frame the question, it is important to read the Fabian literature from the late 1800’s where they are very clear: all socialism leads to communism. They also were clear that their preferred method of achieving one world government was gradualism via socialism. They felt revolutionary communism was too vulnerable to an opposing force that would derail their long term efforts.
Using the wolf in sheep’s clothing or the slow boiling of frogs ensured a lasting, irreversible way to achieve their goals bc once the ppl realized what was going on the government and society would be far too infiltrated to recover.
Pointing out particular types of trees in a forest and missing the fact that it’s a forest doesn’t do us any good in the long run. The fact is they all rob us of our freedoms.
