How in the hell would anarchy and fascism ever become one? They’re like polar opposites.
Horseshoe Theory believers tend to be fond of libertarian-authoritarian axis erasure, so they think the opposite of fascism is Stalinism instead.
And yeah, auth-right dictatorships and auth-left dictatorships are indeed pretty damn similar, so they’d have a point… if their premise weren’t unfounded to begin with.
It’s more that when you become very extreme, the methods become similar regardless of the underlying politics.
From observation, centrists don’t mind horseshoe theory but further right or left people become enraged when someone brings it up.
Philosophically, sure.
In action and presentation, there’s overlaps in outcomes
Anarchy is not left wing, it’s its own wing. Communism is left wing. It’s effectively fascism with a different name
lol, no.
Lol, yes
In my book and apparently a lot of other peoples books, anarchism is to the left of communism.
Since anarchism is its own political wing to you, could you give a taxonomy or something that shows how anarchism is its own wing?
what do left and right wing mean to you?
Ultimately, a single axis system is completely inadequate to describe anyone’s political position.
But for a single left/right, left is communism/socialism/“state capitalism”, right is unfettered capitalism. In the “middle” is regulated capitalism with some welfare.
Of course, that’s all relative to who’s speaking.
The idea of a political center is a reification of the spectrum political model. These people aren’t centrists because they’ve formed a ideology, they’re centrists because they accept convention like an RPG player who takes the default hero and skips character creation.
