Lmao. Imagine having such a poor understanding of politics that you mistake leftist fascism as a right wing ideology. Good god almighty, you are utterly clueless. If you were to learn even an iota of conservative principles you’d be able to see just how left wing the media is for yourself. Conservatives care about things like rule of law and look at how the left is destroying it with #MeToo and the Kavanaugh smear campaign that destroys one of the most fundamental precepts of law (innocent until proven guilty).

Based on what? That I’m trying to push for a more nuanced breakdown of political positions? That I’m at least somewhat familiar with a couple of them?

Right, you would probably prefer a country like Somalia, which has little to no government regulation or taxes because the government is too small and weak enforce them anyway

And yes, “far right” absolutely refers to conservatism; although there are differences in the way that branches out depending on whether you are referring to social and economic issues and based on how authoritarian you happen to lean on each.

On social issues, Saudi Arabia is clearly an authoritarian right-wing country. Right wingers on social issues tend to fall into that hyper-religious/strict bubble, or the camp of racists that believe in things like eugenics and support the suppression and oppression of minorities or other people they consider inferior. Usually it is both at once.
On that point, social conservatives fall into 3 camps:

  • Individuals who want the government to force their views on other people and restrict the rights of women and minorities through law.
  • Individuals who claim that the government has no right to protect the rights of minorities or prevent discrimination.
  • People who do both whenever it suites them. Most people who are right wing on social issues actually fall into this camp, even most of the ones who pretend to be libertarian like Rand Paul.

On economic issues, being right wing tends to mean that you support low taxes on the wealthy, support deregulation and minimal legal restrictions on businesses, oppose worker protections, and oppose support for the underprivileged and downtrodden.
The enforcement of those policies affects the results, which vary between fascism where corporations have so much control and power that they effectively run the government, and anarchies like Somalia where the government is too weak to enforce any laws on corporations and the general populace anyway.

Lmao. You are completely and utterly clueless. Conservatism and libertarianism is about limiting the size of the government so that the government cannot be used for things like that. You’ve been indoctrinated.

That is the end result of the ideology on social issues; and most of the libertarian cults that propped up in the conservative movement such as posse comitatus started out as incredibly racists groups.

Libertarians, who seek to reduce the amount of abuse government can dole out by reducing its size, and who seek to maximize personal freedoms, are racist? Wtf? How does increasing personal freedoms equate to increased racism? It does the opposite because it puts individuals in control of their own lives.

Trump being President, and the Left effectively disappearing on a global stage (or becoming dystopian authoritarian, like in Sweden, where you cannot even complain about grenade attacks without being called racist), must be really getting under your skin, uh…

No it is not.
Fascism has always been a far right ideology.

Sort of a random question, why does racism and prejudice bother you? Were you personally affected by it? Because it seems like such an arbitrary thing to care about if one isn’t to consider the amount of propaganda we’re all fed on diversity.

On a Far Left society (China), they have so much power over you, they can effectively force your women to abort the next generation, jail your men, and “reeducate” your children while harvesting their organs.

Sounds like Authoritarianism is a Left-Wing position!

That is not correct at all.

On social issues, Conservatives are extremely authoritarian, usually wanting the government to enforce their religious or personal views on others. They tend to be the most in favor of censorship (making protests illegal, passing laws that allow individuals to run over protestors, etc) and legal discrimination. Conservatives tend to only be against regulation that affects businesses; and even then they are often not above punishing businesses for opposing the social hierarchy.

Libertarians differ by wanting want limited government control on social issues as well as economic issues; but many of the people who call themselves libertarians in the United States are actually conservatives, particularly when it comes to issues like abortion.

National Socialism (German: Nationalsozialismus), more commonly known as N*zism (/ˈnɑːtsiɪzəm, ˈnæt-/),[1] is the ideology and practices associated with the N*zi Party—officially the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP)—in N*zi Germany. N*zism is a form of fascism and showed that ideology's disdain for liberal democracy and the parliamentary system, but also incorporated fervent antisemitism, anti-communism, scientific racism, and eugenics into its creed...

Ever noticed the medias hatred of liberal democracy? The Democrats are currently trying to undo the 2016 election through impeachment. This is leftist fascism.

Have you ever noticed that Democrats keep trying to give free abortions to poor people? Isn’t it just eugenics for poor people? That’s leftist fascism in action.

Ever noticed how the left uses climate change to target poor (usually black) countries and deny them access to life saving energy? That’s leftist fascism in action almost identical to the scientific racism of n*zism.

This is why the government NEEDS to be downsized. A small government cannot dole out abuse.

Most of the early libertarian groups in the United States started as a direct opposition to abolition, reconstruction, the integration of minorities into society, and civil rights; all of which were pushed or enforced using the federal government.
