The universe where I actually understand what left and right mean. The same universe in which Lenin and Stalin identified themselves as right wing.
And this is the general problem with the way certain Americans understand politics. The right and left wing and the features of what make them right and left are fixed. The democratic party used to be the right wing party, it is now the left wing party. The republicans used to be the left wing party, they are now the right wing party. The problem being that reactionaries wouldn't understand the difference between a principle and a policy if it smacked them in the face.
All authoritarians are right wing but not all right wingers are authoritarians.
Within the United State there doesn't actually exist a left wing party to speak of. In every other country in the entire world (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Australia, China, South Africa, Israel, etc etc.) The democratic party is a center right party. I suspect but cannot prove that after the DNC convention this year it will become a center left party.
what a myopic and frankly retarded view. No one else in the entire world defines things this way outside of American reactionaries. "Left" Enlightenment values. "Right" means Counter-Enlightenment/Anti-Enlightenment values (See: Movement Counter-Enlightenment). To say LibLeft vs AuthLeft is... well besides being insane it's a category error. No one outside of
your lunatic echo chambers talks about left and right the way you do. It would make no sense what so ever historically, it would make no sense internationally. You need fixed points to be able to discuss both current wider geopolitical trends and historical trends. What you are saying makes complete hash of the big switch especially in light of the fact that prior to the big switch the Democratic party was the right wing conservative party and the Republicans were the left wing liberal party. The big switch is used in reference to the fact that the two parties inverted their political alignment.
Authoritarianism is and was always considered right wing. Authoritarianism cannot therefore ever be left wing. Actually put forward that argument with reference to the long held historical understanding of Left = enlightenment and you will see how insane you sound.
As I stated above reactionaries wouldn't know a principle if it slapped them in the face. For example is decentralization a policy or is it a principle? If it is a policy what is the underlying principle?
Is Pro-Choice a policy or a principle? If it is a policy what is the underlying principle?
Is States Rights a policy or a principle? If it is a policy what is the underlying principle?
Is the right to bare arms a policy or a principle? If it is a policy what is the underlying principle?
Is freedom of speech a policy or a principle? If it is a policy what is the principle?
Is limited free speech a policy or a principle? If it is a policy what is the underlying principle?
Is libertarian a set of policies or a set of principles? If it is a set of policies what are the underlying principles?
Why Decentralized Economic Planning Is So Important | Sascha Klocke Where exactly did you study economics? Or did you by chance get your doctorate out of a crackerjack box. What you have done is to demonstrate Dunning-Kruger at its finest. As to not finding it there are lots of examples. As a single modern example the US economy is by and large an example of decentralized planning. Outside of limited circumstances and sectors the US economy is planned in a decentralized fashion with each firm/actor establishing their own goals, objectives, and plans. These individual plans work together to drive the entire economic engine. And before you accuse the mises institute of being a biased source I strongly recommend that you actually look into their background and history.
Yes and if you understood what the word oxymoron meant why are you stating the obvious? Or do you posses a child's understanding of how terms work? Centralized planning means that the plans are generated in a designated central location to drive the economic engine. Within the context of a wider economy it means that multiple independent actors develop plans independently to drive the economy. An individual actor such as a firm may also be centrally or decentrally planned. For example the plan may come either from the board or the CEO. Or the board or CEO may direct each department to submit their own plans. This second example depending on how it's carried out may be a mixed planning system.
In other words. Learn some economics you brain dead fucktard.
wow. So many problems with everything you said.
*Pure culture groups
Ya. No. I don't actually give a fuck about culture per se.
* Pure culture groups will end corrupt hierarchies
Ya. No. While culture can be important in the contribution to reducing corrupt hierarchies, but systems are much more important for reducing corrupt hierarchies. Note I said reducing not eliminating them. While the ideal goal is to eliminate corrupt hierarchies practically speaking it cannot be done. The actual goal then is to 1) reduce the number of corrupt hierarchies, 2) reduce the harm which any given corrupt hierarchy can do.
*Self-organization by self determination and size.
You've clearly been speaking to AnCaps. Not going to quibble over what you mean by formal rule but I am going to do the very stupid thing and give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are acting in this instance in good faith. Anarchism is not about the elimination of hierarchies or even about the elimination of governments. It does seek to eliminate the state as it is modernly defined. Government's would in fact exist within society as I propose it and would indeed be a requirement. Given that I have not really spoken much at all about what an anarchist government looks like you have some pretty concrete accusations about what I think it looks like.
If by cultural genocide you mean the abolition of that culture... well then ya. If however you mean the death of the people who embody the culture then no. I don't actually think you understand what a culture is. As to viewpionts which is different than culture yes I want to see contrary viewpoints obliterated. Let me clarify. I am not saying I want viewpoints which differ from my own obliterated. I want
contrary view points obliterated. viewpoints that are directly contrary to liberty (freedom) and equality of opportunity. Authoritarianism has no place in the world I want.
