    Firstly, the political compass quiz online isn’t short (in my opinion). Secondly, the quiz has a bit of a left-wing bias in the propositions, making them quite confusing at times...

      I agree. There is much bias in this quiz from the website. It said I lean left and am slightly more libertarian (not a whole lot! Actually pretty close to center), but only because it asked such ridiculous questions like "People should stick to their own kind" and things like that. Yeah, I suppose if this is 1843 or something, then yes, these questions make sense. I actually consider myself center-right with libertarian leanings.

    In politics, the dividing line between Right and Left can be traced back to two obsessions:
    - the first (the torment of the Right) is a phobia of elements perceived to be incompatible with commonly used models in society
    - the second (the bane of the Left) is intolerance of models that appear to be imposed by society.
    In order to capture the meaning of these lines, we need to step back in time and recall the turmoil we experienced early in life as we began the process of blending into society when, as kids, we entered Planet School- or more precisely, Planet Classroom.
    Right there in the classroom we’ve all had to deal with a “problem kid”: “bad Johnny”- the student with the disrespectful, smug attitude and less than decent grades, the kid in the back that stole your lunch money, the chronic late-comer who seemed to own a single tattered and over-doodled notebook, the bully you best avoided if you didn’t want to find yourself running home bruised and with a ripped school uniform. The hopeless case that once had the nerve to show his privates to the girl in the second row and who always came back from the boys’ room reeking of cigarette smoke.
    No doubt that “bad Johnny” has raised concerns- more for some than for others- within the classroom/society. However, we can’t forget that other classmate of ours who is at the root of perhaps even more devastating issues- “Peter goody-two-shoes”. He came from a good family, he always sat in the front row, paid attention in class, gave a helping hand to less fortunate people, had good manners, dressed smartly, respected the teachers, sported perfect hairstyles and neatly organized books. The one who carefully put his school supplies away at the end of class, who always did his homework, who had the best grades- the one who came to school early each morning and couldn’t seem to wait to get started.
    He was a model to look up to, our term of comparison when we sensed we couldn’t be good enough in the world of social competition. In fact, Peter popped up- in more or less obvious ways- any time our parents scolded us or our teacher criticized us.
    And it was “Peter good-two-shoes” who really bothered us- especially when we felt his weight bearing down on our heads- a behavioral model imposed upon us by society. It is of the utmost importance to note that, for the purposes of this “treatise”, “Peter goody-two -shoes” should not be considered “good” in an absolute sense- but rather a model society sees in a positive light (not always rightfully so) and, more than that, tries to impose upon us. Similarly, “bad Johnny” does not have to be the bad guy- rather just something society -often erroneously- considers negative. You can see how Peter goody-two-shoes bothers people who are emotionally Left-wing, while an aversion to bad Johnny is the hallmark of Right-wingers.

      @@MrMedukneusha Thank you for appreciation. I am sending you other considerations which confirm my theory
      DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND LEFT POLITICS
      CONFIRMATION OF “Peter goody - two - shoes” THEORY
      - The idea that humans are intrinsically good belongs to the Left. In this case, “bad Johnny” is not a great danger to society. Leftist ideology borrows Rousseau’s belief that people are good by nature, even if at times they are led astray by society. It is noteworthy that “Peter goody - two - shoes”, the Left’s obsession, represents society and the model it demands to impose.
      - The idea that some people are naturally diabolical is Right-wing: this belief derives from the suspicion that anyone could be a potential evil “bad Johnny”. In the Right’s vision, inspired by Hobbes, humans are evil by nature. They are always out to swindle, subjugate or rob others: hence the "Homo homini lupus" (man is a wolf for men) idea. In this case, it becomes society’s job to correct “bad Johnny” at any cost, if necessary by “sufficiently persuasive” means.
      The “Peter goody - two - shoes” theory is therefore a sociologically relevant construct which delineates the meaning of the dichotomous conundrum afflicting each and every one of us in our relationship with society as a whole:
      - On one hand, the refusal of models society itself endeavours to impose;
      - On the other, the perception of elements not in line with the dominant paradigms as alien to society.

When you tell them no, they tell you that you have no right to say no because they saw you as a submissive pushover and feel they are better than you. Being kind does not make somebody stupid or a pushover. So carry pepper spray and don't be afraid to call 911 if somebody tries to rape you. This is my personal experience telling you this. Stay safe. Criminals look for soft targets and who they think won't fight back.

      no indivdualism vs collectivism means nothing this is not an antagonism, else for bad analysis.
      progressism , historic socialism, including Marx's philosophy are indivdiualists, defend emancipation of the individuals, thisi why they denfed rights and freedoms for women, ethnics and racials minorities, , defend freedom from religious power, fight against slavery , defend the workers agaisnt the arbitrary of hungry capitalism.etc...
      sexists, racists, fundamentalist religious, etc.. are authoritarians on the other side.
      "indivdidualism vs authortarianism" is included inside left vs right, with "universalism vs particularism".
      the good axes are :
      indvidualism vs authoritarian ( autonomy vs heteronomy )
      universalism vs particularism (equality vs inequality)
      At least this political map fit with more scientific analysis.
      analysis centred on liberalism are bad, because to egocentric, and can't understand the real antagonism left-right that goes around the world. economy is just one side of the politic antagonisms.

      Wrong. Every political ideology is inherently hierarchical. You cannot magically escape them. Even in Communism someone has to be part of the Central planning group instead of just being a normal worker. It's more of a question are these hierarchies justified or not. If anything, logic dictates that you get less hierarchies when going to the right, since people on the right believe that the best outcome for society is achieved when individual rights and civil liberties are paramount and the role - and especially the power - of the government is minimized.

      But when it is in there interest they can change from one day to the next to support a brutal dictatorship.
      If the people that a leading a group are voted by the group and can be exchanged by the group its not a hierarchy in the strong sense. And that would be the case in communist states.

      It's important to acknowledge that just because a political ideology is commonly held, it doesn't make it "centrist" and just because a political ideology is not commonly held, doesn't necessarily make it "extreme."
      According to many people's heuristics of American politics, Elizabeth Warren would be considered really far left and someone like, say, Rand Paul or John Boehner would be considered a conventional right-wing politician. However, this is an artifact of America's historical identity and some of weirdness baked into our Constitution. In reality, the GOP has been really far to the right on economic issues and the Democrats have been pretty centrist for going on 40-50 years. So Elizabeth Warrn (who is a very conventional down-the-line leftist, possibly even leaning centrist by European standards) looks extremely radical while Rand Paul (who is, at least rhetorically a borderline anarcho-capitalist on economic issues) looks like a conventional politician.
      A true radical leftist agenda would be that, not only should government regulate or provide services with high-levels of inherent market inefficiencies like electricity or healthcare (a position held by most center-right politicians outside of the U.S.) but that the government should seize control over extractive industries that make their money from natural resources that should belong to "all" citizens like gold mines and the oil industry as well as permanently seize control over "exploitative" private industries like the auto industry. There is, basically no one in mainstream American politics who hold these perspectives.
      Meanwhile, a radical right-wing agenda would include the roll-back or elimination of essentially all government regulations, a flat tax to support extremely limited government services and perhaps even pushes to privatize public goods like national defense, foster care, and police/fire (all things that have been promulgated by the GOP at the state and national level in recent decades).
      America doesn't really have a true Socialist left-even American politicians who have embraced the word "Socialism" uniformly support a market/hybrid approach similar to the typical government in northern Europe, rather than true command-economy socialism. Neither the Democratic party nor the Republican Party represent the extreme versions of their preferred identity but there is absolutely no denying that the Republican Party is more extreme and the Democratic Party more centrist (though moving left) in recent decades according to traditional political philosophies.

      @dannylojkovic5205 3 роки тому

      Communism is theoretically anarchist. Marx discusses this in the communist manifesto. Communism is supposed to be a stateless, money-less, egalitarian society based around helping out your community. In an ideal communist society, the government would cease to exist, and workers would collectively own the means of production in their communes and determine what needs to be produced based on what is necessary to their communal situation.
      We never got communism in the USSR, China, Cuba, etc… instead we got socialism. Now, there is a major difference between Marxist socialism and the socialism Americans talk about when the government does things. According to Marx, first there is the proletariat revolution. In this period, the old society (theoretically capitalist) is deposed and the leaders of said society are jailed/killed. After this, the so-called “dictatorship of the proletariat” takes control of the country, and spends 5 years redistributing resources among the workers who helped topple the system. Once everything is redistributed, the government is supposed to fade away, and we get communism (described above). However, the USSR, China, etc… never eliminated the state. The state just controlled the means of production, and therefore, the entire economy. This model has been proven to briefly benefit society with the expansion of infrastructure, but to eventually slow down drastically since a single body is very inefficient at determining market values and forces.
      “Socialism,” as many American talk about it, is actually “Social Democracy.” Social Democracy is capitalism which seeks to protect the rights of the workers. The means of production are still owned by private capitalists who can set their own company policies, but they have more regulations to deal with with regards to how they treat their workers. As well, social democracies tend to have strong welfare systems to support the disadvantaged. This isn’t socialism, however, since the means of production are not controlled by the government. The basis of the entire economy is still centered around private enterprise for a profit. Bernie Sanders just started calling himself a socialist, and Americans started calling themselves socialists/or saying they hate socialists, since they’re using the term wrong. If you were to go to Europe, as an American, and tell a guy who knows nothing about America you’re a socialist, they’d probably think you’re a Marxist, since the definition of socialism I provided above, is the idea behind socialism.

    As you are trying to explain the specific infamous political compass and not your own I'm afraid you miss the point to a relatively extreme degree, and even changed their terminology of the top to bottom from authoritarian and libertarian to collectivist and individualist, and then very confusingly place anarchists at the bottom despite being collectivist. (They place anarchists to the far left).
    This is very confusing, and could almost appear as dishonest, especially as collectivism vs. individualism would be a far better explanation of the left/right - it would not be fully correct however as there is quite a lot of nuance. A very general way of looking at it is that the left is a collection of ideologies valueing different ideas concerning reaching/maintaining equality (Socialism, Communism, Anarchism, Syndicalism, Communalism, and more to the right Social Democracy, etc.), while the right will be a collection of ideologies that encourages inequality, be that through meritocracy, the invisible hand of the free market in capitalism, the heavily government regulated mercantilism or good old-fashioned feudalism.

    • @jean-louispech4921

      anarchist are individualists, like Karl Marx who cared about the individual right of the workers, but was not satisfied but the Human Right Declaration from the liberal revolution, who were caring about the freedom of the bourgeois, the capital owner mostly while on the text the was equality of right.
      In the USA the human rights of black people were not respected with the racial discrimination, but hey they were not WASP bourgeois, while the USA were pretending being the flag of freedom and democracy.
      In the spectrum given by the video, racism is "collectivist", it goes against individual freedom.
      But collectivism is not the good term, it is not collective right, but community rights , like right for white people to have some seat reserved in a bus, not as individual but as member of a racial community.
      Holism is a best term for their category "collectivism", this is the opposite of individualism. While individualism and collective can be harmonized, when the collective is made of equal individual, collective rights are equal rights for each individual, and then collective care about the need of the individual. This is the core of the left.
      But the left right opposition is not about economic liberalism, but about how the power is shared (left) and then egalitarian or concentrated (right) and then inegalitarian .
      Economic liberalism , allow concentration of power in a single hand, the capitalist, the entrepreneur, and refuses spread of power by social regulation, or government regulation.
      But strong government can, allow concentration of power in private and, like with nazism, or some part of the right who defend the alliance between some big corporation and the state ( weaponry, oil, in the USA for example ), or government making laws for defending the interest of private food big corporations by allowing privatisation of the life.

    • @MrMedukneusha
      @MrMedukneusha 5 років тому +1

      Not really, but i can agree how its very generalized.
      The left believes in government control. A large part of that is based in collectivism. You cant control a mass group of individuals. AKA, herding cats.
      While i can certainly see why people think anarchists are collectivists and they are. They dress the same and act the same and believe in alot of the same things. But anarchy is not left wing. Anarchy is a complete absence of government, meaning extreme right-wing individualism. Mainstream anarchists are far-left collectivists that think they're anarchists. How someone could be an anarchist yet demand more government control is delusional in the extreme. (bernie sanders supporters)
      I fully agree how collectivist vs. individualism is blunt way of describing their diagram.
      The left likes to pretend they support equality. However history shows all they achieve is misery, suffering, starvation and death(edit: not for the political leaders, certainly). 100 million killed under far-left socialism.
      The right absolutely encourages inequality. Especially in inequality of outcome. Someone who works hard deserves to earn more than someone that votes for bernie sanders for example. How you think the right, which is clearly the side of limited government, means "more government" is beyond me.
      Now i'm going to break some mad arcane knowledge here. But people who support feudalism are feudalists.
      If you're european its easy to get these things mixed up. Language was swung to the extreme far-left, post WW2. Ironically a war against far-left socialists. But socialism was infecting the whole continent at the time. All the socialists went back to academic circles and started shifting the blame to "nationalism" from the National Socialist German Workers Party. They deserve to repeat history for forgetting.

    • @Kraisedion
      @Kraisedion 4 роки тому

      ​@Daniel von Strangle Could you explain how this is disingenuous. The fight for inequality is what generally defines all political ideologies on the right. From the extremists, such as Fascists, Monarchists, etc. wanting to categorize people into enforced groups/classes, to the more general but still harsh enforcement of capitalism (and with it workers and owners and extreme wealth inequality) that is pushed by conservatives and liberals. All of these ideologies are as such proponents of heavy class divides.
      Obviously, Social Democrats, Democratic Socialists, etc. are not opposed to classes, but along with the centre, such as Liberal Democrats, Christian Democrats, they believe in degrees of redistribution, shared ownership, etc. to limit/actively combat inequality - and the further left you go the more focused the ideologies move towards collective ownership and with that a degree of equality.
      Of course, equality/inequality is only one way to look at it (as explained above - it was offered as one option) and it is worth noting that not all ideologies on the left are driven by it. For instance Marxism is generally opposed to equality (Marx argued it was impossible and should not be attempted), but the overall aim of all the left leaning ideologies is an increased degree of equality in one way or another.
      Feel free to counter if you have an argument.

    • @Kraisedion
      @Kraisedion 4 роки тому +1

      ​@@MrMedukneusha This is broadly speaking incorrect:
      1. The claim that the left is defined by government control is false. Almost all anarchist throughout history has identified as Socialists and Communists, including individualists like Stirner, Spooner, etc.
      The left as a whole is not pro government, they are not even necessarily pro collectivism (see: individualist socialists) - they support an increase in worker and or collective ownership.
      Individualist socialists have wanted, and still want, no/little government and worker ownership - while more collectivist Libertarians will want no/less government but with worker/collective ownership, and worker/local management - see Syndicalism for instance.
      Even Democratic Socialists like Sanders and AOC support co-ops, AOC even coming out for free market socialism (co-ops competing).
      Also: You do realize that even Libertarian was a purely left-wing term until the 70s when Rothbard attempted (and succeeded) in co-opting it right? All of Anarchist and Libertarian history has been almost exclusively socialist - and again - collectivism does not mean more government.
      2. "The left likes to pretend they support equality. However history shows all they achieve is misery, suffering, starvation and death"
      But countries with Democratic Socialist or Social Democratic leadership and policies over the 20th century have the highest living standards. See Scandinavia.
      I'm Norwegian, our Labour party was socialist until the 80s, and had government control the majority of the period from the 30s. We're one of the richest and happiest countries in the world. Social Democracy, which is what they moderated to, is also left wing, and Social Democracies, have the best living standards.
      I.e. you are spreading false information.
      3. "The right absolutely encourages inequality. Especially in inequality of outcome. Someone who works hard deserves to earn more than someone that votes for bernie sanders for example."
      Exactly, thank you, they support inequality - though it is not based on who works hard, it is based on who owns the companies with employees that work hard/work smart.
      (or if you are a Feudalist, which lord has the best serfs in the fields)
      Most socialists, including Marx, agrees that those who work harder/better should be paid more. Marx argued, for instance, that if two people work in a factory, and one worker produces twice of what the average worker produces, he/she should get twice the pay - and that's Karl Marx. Others believe in free market competition where you should be able to get as much for your products as the market allows you to - the difference is that the socialists wants the money for the people who do the work, not the people who happen to own it (and yes, sometimes there is an overlap).
      4. Yes, people who support Feudalism are Feudalists. Not sure what your point is there.
      5. The nazis sat on the right of the German parliament, and worked with the right, was supported by the conservatives, etc. I understand that you don't know politics/history given the above, but this is such an extremely ignorant take I had to get rude in my fial paragraph. If you are this ignorant, you need a wake up call.

    The root word of authoritarian is author. An author of a plan. This is not a bad thing. These are the people of science. The opposite of an author of a plan is someone with no plan. People with no plan are libertarians. These people are the tax cuts and deregulations. These people are the faith people.
    Liberal is unlimited freedom unless it infringes on other people's freedom. And the opposite of liberal is totalitarian. These people are also reactionary. Their inherent right to infringe on other people's freedom.
