  • Learn the difference between left and right before trying to patronise me. That block of waffle was pure drivel. You didn’t even go to google before that display, did you? Try it now. Try googling what the far left, then what the far right is. Then be embarrassed.

    Also - the sheer absurdity of talking about political theories and “ignoring the politics”. You wouldn’t ignore the maths when discussing mathematical theories, would you?

    the worst aspects of either side

    What are “the worst aspects” of the left wing and the right, and how do they even remotely resemble each other? Try your best to explain that.

    It’s not a horseshoe, it’s a full circle

    You’re just proving that you understand so little, you don’t even get the bullshit that is horseshoe theory.

    some people just want more

    Okay, and that wouldn’t be possible in a leftist society. You act like these possibilities haven’t been thought of. You act as if you’re the first person to apply any sort of thought to this subject. You’re not. You’re just an arrogant dickhead.






  • if someone has gone that far left there’s really no practical differences between them and the far right anymore.

    You don’t know what left or right mean, do you?

    Leftism is against hierarchy, capitalism and the state. A far-left society would have no government, an economy where all participate voluntarily to the level they desire, no money system, no hierarchy or class system, and a generally tolerant attitude toward beliefs and attitudes.

    The right wing, however, values hierarchy, tradition and rejects progress and change. A far right society would be… Well, Nazi Germany. A strong state controlling all aspects of life, prescribing specific roles for people and rejecting, exiling or just killing those that don’t fit in.

    There is no similarity whatsoever. Horseshoe theory is bunk invented by centrists who know nothing about politics.




  • Liberalism birthed capitalism, the greatest hierarchical economic system this world has ever seen. It supports and feeds capitalism with its cult of individuality, a reverence of wealth and power, and its almost dogmatic need for competition in order to sort the best from the worst.

    Fascism is a logical extension of this. All it does is shrink the in-group and expand the out-group.


  • Communism in theory is amazing. But it doesn’t take the human animal into much consideration. We’re a highly competitive hierarchical beast.

    This is conservative propaganda. Human nature is entirely contingent on material conditions. Given a hierarchical system, like capitalism, they will act hierarchically. It isn’t rocket science.

    We strive for our personal will to power too much for a pure communist utopia. Basically, we aren’t ants or bees that can pull that kind of horizontal system off.

    You have been told this time and time again, but that’s no reason to actually believe it. Think for yourself.
