In this country, conservatism means small government because that is the historic status quo. Fascism can look more like what we think of as modern conservatism in the US due to corporate hegemony. Communism can look like what we imagine progressive policy to manifest. Doesn't mean either are true representatives. Dogs look like bears, um..
Anarchy is neither left nor right, because it is so fragile a state that it is really more of a philosophical concept than a real government system.
You're all arguing over nothing! The concept of Left or Right comes from the French revolution, and has to do with where the parties sat in Parliament.
The idea stuck with the architects of the American revolution, who borrowed heavily from the Enlightenment principles of government that fueled the French revolution. . The left represents motion forward (i.e. Progressive) and the right represents static motion (i.e. Conservative). That's all. In this country, conservatism means small govn't
FYI do you know what we are working with in this election year? Do the candidates? Take qa look and see what you know from history that you only thought you knew. Worth a look.
Stop saying "the left". People who thought that voting for either McCain or Obama would bring change are called "morons". They are also sometimes called Republicans AND Democrats....
Incorrect with the political spectrum, To the far left is Very Little government on Social issues, and on the right there is more Government on Social Views, the spectrum might be more correct for just Economic views
This political spectrum completely leaves out Economic philosophies. All this is a rating system on what government type is more authoritarian but it even fails at that.
WAKE UP your indiviudal liberties & freedom ARE under attack. Pres Obama signed an exec order on 12/17/09 giving Interpol (Intnl Criminal Police Org) diplomatic immunity. Meaning in the US, Interpol does not have to follow laws that prohibit authorities from violating our constitutionally protected rights. Interpol is also no longer subject to freedom of information act inquiries.
All DC politicians are not speaking out against this unconstituional order, so vote out all incumbents in 2010!
You also say that Conservatives fight for less government authority even though Bush Jr. was considered very Authoritarian compared to other president, such as Clinton. Yet most big name conservatives happily supported his administration. Two words... Patriot Act. Maybe back in the day when republicans were the left party, when our country was young. But obviously times have changed which is why Marxism is considered obsolete.
Okay... First of all, you are obviously not referring to Communism. You have a common misunderstanding which I won't hold against you. When you think of communism you think of Stalinism and Maoism. I think of Marxism, Leninism, Trotskyism, and Luxemburgism. Out of the 4 Leninism is the most Authoritarian but this may have been called for during his time. Stalinism and Maoism are both very similar to Fascism, economics wise, fascism is farther right. Trotskyism, etc. are much less Authoritarian.
By the logic presented in the video the only political philosophy that could be on the Right is Anarchy, no government, no control. A Republic is simply a government for the government run by the government. Just because the people have no voice doesn't mean there is less control. A spectrum based solely on control is not a political spectrum at all. This political spectrum leaves out people. It's based on how much control each individual in the government has on the government.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
First, Anarchists are Left wing. And Communism is definitely closer to a republic than totalitarianism. Fascism is defiantly right wing. Your scale makes no sense, left is max control and right is none. This is illogical. Left and right wings are supposed to represent political ideas.... not control types. It is extremely obvious that all you are trying to do is make the left wing look bad. Communists and Fascists are opposites. They kill each other still today. BTW Anarchists are for peace.
When the Founders were discussing our form of Government they used the yard stick of Government with Government power NOT Political Party. Since Political parties tend to change from generation to generation they focused on Total Government Power 100% to the left, 0% Government Power to the right. what you are refering to is the current understanding of European Parlimentary System and their political parties and what they stand for.
In the yard stick Europe used is Political moderates and the freedom party in the middle of the yard stick with Totalitarianism communism on the left and Fascism on the right with freedom in the middle. That is NOT how we were founded. The Yard stick was 100% of Government power on the left and total Anarchy on the right with 0% government frame work. This is all explained in the video is VERY simple to understand. Sad that you dont understand it. Meaning you do not understand American history.
There is Almost no difference between the Communism and Fascism. Communism being the central Controller of the means of production and fascism being do what we say or die. Either is a Group of people determining life and death of other men, and financial status of other men. Both seek to control all aspects of lives as anarchy is a "free for all" no safety by a government which mean that every man woman and child have to protect themselves at all times.
Communist kill Fascism or a struggle for who controls the masses. Both are nuts. Anarchist do no seek peace as you think they do. Some Anarchist do want peace but who will stop the bad people from doing bad things? no one without a little government protection or rule of law. woman and families can be killed, raped and threatened to obey the bad people who do bad things. and property have to be protected 24 hours a day against bad people.
WIth Anarchy you are begging for a slaughter by government who want ill and territorial expantion or genocidal maniacs hell bent on world domination. Without a Government to raise Armies or protection against other contries with Armies we are all dead. Anarchy fails once again. Anarchy demands everyone fend for themselves and many who are unable to take care of themselves turn to stealing, robbery, murder for survival or self preservation with no ability to seek justice.
anarchy fails again. I am NOT trying to rip the left as you claim, If I opined with regards to Europes political parties I would praise the center and rip the left and right. Our government
%100-----------------|-----%0 Government power. The Line in the chart is where the United states Constitutional power that is granted to the federal Government. Currently that line has been moved to
%100------|-----------------%0 Gov Power
Conservatives fighting to bring line back to Origin. Left Resists
going back to understanding the yard stick our founders used can be explained by reading "the 5000 Year Leap" by
W. Cleon Skousen. He puts how I look towards our government in simple terms anyone can understand. If you read that book it will give you insite on the conservative mindset. But arguing with me with regards to the video is useless unless you understand where we come from. and understanding the founders "Scale" makes perfect sense if you understand American History.
You act as though the left wing was its on entity. The left wing is a set of philosophies with very different ideas. Do you even know what the left is? What you suggest is that all politicians that fall into a wing of politics become the same person. Don't say something nonsensical to someone who uses logic...
Post it on your facebook page if you wish more Americans and Non-Americans to better understand why a Republican form of Government is the Best form of Government.
Very informative video. To bad it has so few views. Just 3000+ and if you look at some entertainment videos you will see millions of view. To bad people are so ignorant and don't understand the world where they live.
Anarchists are considered leftist. No. Man. Don't make a mistake. Not all who oppose government are Anarchists. We can have more than one center of power.
Momenabdulla, if you are Anarchists then you are on the right. The scale is clear, lefty is 100% Gov, and the Right is 100% no Government. This is why the political system is so confusing to NON activists. I know way to many people that think Freedom is on the left and that is why they are democrats. This is a bad mistake. If you relish Freedom, then you have to be on the right. If you want strong Central or state Authority to get involved with the citizens then you are a lefty.
Just because someone calls themselves Anarchists does not make it so. Anarchists want NO Government at all, just becuase people assault the government they have does not make them anarchists. Most people that call themselves anarchist are pissed about what they have and demand something they want to replace it. This is NOT anarchists. Anarchist/Communists are always confused because people missunderstand what the goals of Anarchists are, "To replace the current Gov to something they want"
the Communists will start causing Chaos and huge marches in the streets claiming injustice and racist institutions and this type of Grievence most people deplor. TRUE racism and Injustice are rejected by 95% of Americans, Racial Hustlers like Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton claim the whole system is jacked up against blacks/minorities. This is a powerful message to someone that is poor and been told White man Hording everything. Mobilize political Troops into rage then you preach change. It works.
Most Minorities just want Equality, not preference. Democrats have kept most blacks down for most of their lives. and the Democrat party has been able to put their feet on the thoats of Blacks and convince them that the boot is conservative. the Largest Injustice in the WORLD was Blacks and Minorities trusting the democrat party with their future lives and properity. Look at all the Conservative blacks living a very comfortable lives and Liberal Blacks still waiting for the promises of the Dems
you speak in the future about an oligarchy in the US...you already HAVE this...for the last 50 years at least and probably since the 1880s....when you enacted the law making corporations UN-responsible.
GREAT POST!. For many elections we have heard " WE WON" - - a 100% DEMOCRATIC statement. Today we allow, no we EXPECT the News Media to be our educators. Who owns the media? Who keeps them in business? We have the RIGHT to GET an education. We do NOT have the right to be GIVEN an education. Those who GET - choose what they GET. Those who GIVE choose what they GIVE. I do not want the Government or the News Media to GIVE me anything. We will remain AMERICA only through GETTING an Education.
Those who GET - choose what they GET. Those who GIVE choose what they GIVE.
One thing that I ask, I believe this Video is really Important so anyone who sees this video please pass it along to everyone you think should see it! Way to many people do not understand our founding, and that is by design! we need to change that!
This is the best short explanation of the role of gov't I have ever seen.I am going to do everything I can to promote this video. I encourage those of you watching who take seriously our future to do the same, especially among teens. Ten minutes in plain language that most people of normal intelligence can understand. This is also good to counter arguments for abolishing the electoral college. . I wish this had 10 million views rather than Michael Jackson.
Thank you, I am doing everything I can to promote it as well, this is way to important! EVERYONE needs to understand our government and how it works so they know when the government is taking liberties away!
