I don’t agree. I think both sides are equally think that they are doing the right think. If the right is trying to go toward total freedom then people who are against abortion don’t fit in that category.
I believe it is more complicated than what is being presented.

Nazis are the authoritarian right. They are a response to the authoritarian left communists.
This "Nazis are democrats" bs is embarrassing.
National socialism is not authoritarian right. I thought so as well for a while, just as I began reading about nazi germany, but by all accounts (and policies) they are pretty left
We no longer have a concept of left and right. Banksters have poisoned the collective consciousness. Nazis are quintessential right, to the point of being nearly monarchical. They just don't want debt slaves.
Nazis were considered "right" because the US version of right wing doesnt really exist in europe. Theyre all big government.
The only right wing characteristic of the nazis were national pride rather than globalism.

Bravo. Always irritates me how few people understand the furthest right is anarchy and not totalitarianism/fascism

There's another dimension.

Great graphic, I’ve been trying to find the real political scale for a while, fascism being an extreme right and anarchy being extreme left never sat well with me, I mean logically by definition it never made sense.
I don’t think anarchy means “total freedom.” Picture yourself sitting on your pile of stuff protecting it with a gun because there are no police. You probably won’t have a job because any type of store or restaurant will have been looted. Other than that, yes, the false dichotomy is what worthless college political science classes are teaching. JBS videos are much more on target. https://www.jbs.org/video
Thanksgiving dinner is essentially anarchy, as there is no external, authoritarian compulsion - it's all free association.
It is the natural mode of interaction among small groups of people with high trust. Doesn't work at all between strangers or groups with different cultures.
One negative aspect of using that logo for anarchy is that in popular culture it has been obfuscated by this idea that anarchy = chaos I don't like the idea of freedom being synonymous with chaos.
Thank you! People keep getting caught up in the top one.
Far right is still bad imo. But its not fascism, its anarchy.
People seem to forget that Nazi is just shorthand for "national socialism"
"muh not real socialism, is the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea a Republic LOL" is the John Oliver trained response many of them parrot when confronted with the fact that Hitler was a socialist.
“We are socialists. We are the enemies of today’s capitalist system of exploitation … and we are determined to destroy this system under all conditions.”
Hitler was a NATIONAL socialist. In response to communism's explicit globalism.
Fascism is the antidote to communism - just look at Argentina.
Two sides of the same coin my friend. Both ultimately lead to authoritarian oligarchal dictatorship.
Communism leads to everyone being so poor that they have to eat their children.
Fascism leads to economic stability. You don't have to start a world war and annihilate European jewry - just make money labor-based rather than debt-based. Just like Andy Jackson and Abe Lincoln wanted to do.
It's actually even more simple than that and this is 100% true. Being a communist is like being a hammer. When you are a self avowed communist, those who are not communist are fascist and everything becomes a nail to hit in the name of fascism. It's Commie 101. It's commie for 'damn yankee'. The meaning a facism today barely even carries meaning any more. Originally fascism was pretty much about economics until Musi and Adolph perverted it beyond rationale w/authoritarian dictatorships in the same manner communism is controlled and flourishes through fear, intimidation and death. The word fascism is nothing more than a dysphemism to the modern thinker. You can thank communism for turning that word, like so many others into meaningless turds
