Leftcom claims that the political compass is libertarian propaganda, that there is not such thing as left wing authoritarianism, and that Stalin was a right wing extremist. Just another day in /r/enlightenedcentrism

"Libertarian right is just authoritarian right with extra steps" yeah because ancaps love the state

yeah, they do. they just call states "corporations" instead and think theyll be running one. there is such a thing as the libertarian right but ancaps are just fascists in denial

Oh so that's why we have so many ancaps.

Meh, I don't think they think they will be running any big corporations, but they give way too much faith to corporations. They love corporations more than CB2 loves EA and banning net neutrality to own white men.

banning net neutrality to own white men.

is this for real or are you exaggerating?

I am not exaggerating. CB2 regularly sucks up to huge corporations any time white guys criticize them. They claimed even criticizing Ajit Pai is racist as well.

Ancaps support totalitarianism provided the state is called corporations.

thinking a corporation is more trustworthy than the government

Did you know the Government is a corporation?

we live in a society

This thread made by The NYPD Are The World’s Biggest Gang Gang

The US military would like a word.

There's only one way to settle this. US Military vs NYPD, no items, Final Destination.

Slap fight?

I wanna see all the cops in the United States go up against the US military

Now that's a real showdown

Corporations are people, my friend

Ancaps might be the most retarded political group I've ever witnessed. They think that the law of the jungle they support won't create a power vacuum which will slowly produce powerful individuals or groups that will eventually take over society, create their own armies and try to organize it, you know, like fucking kings were created. What. a bunch. of morons.

I don't understand what you're saying. They've got a concept that, were people entirely benevolent and not self serving, would work great. Pretty much all these systems work great in ideal conditions.

I fucking hate commies, but I don't entirely disagree with the idea that things would be simpler if people spent more of a collective effort to help one another.

They just don't realize we'll never have ideal conditions. Human selfishness is an insurmountable obstacle.

I'm saying that it isn't even sustainable under ideal conditions. The ancap retarded structure of society pretty much allows anything to happen, so corporations can hire their own "private security" which they can expand and easily take over parts of society.

Leftist anarchists at least want a society without corporations where any attempt to create authoritarian institutions that can potentially become too powerful within society will be met with violence so the system is sustainable, their only problem always was that anarchism must spontaneously happen all over the world because such societies are weak to defend and have been crushed by authoritarians before.

They literally have a tenet which states that you can basically do what you want so long as you don't harm others. So why is it inferred that they would automatically add 'lol except companies' to that? That part I don't get.

Because creating armies isn't harming anyone, and by the time the armies start harming others it'll be too late. The corporation with the biggest army won't have an obligation anymore to obey the rules because it doesn't need to.

Living up to the name I guess.

I'm pretty realistic about this, there's historical precedent of this happening in ancap-like societies, it's called monarchy and has been happening throughout history.

Wait how is monarchy ancap? I'm not following anymore

Read the comment thread again dude, it's not rocket science to understand how any ancap society can very easily and quickly become authoritarian.

I think I'm asking which ancap societies proceeded monarchies. you're presenting this information, I'd like to know more.

I was talking about "ancap-like" societies as in law of the jungle human societies with some basic rules in them, and the answer to your question is pretty much all primitive societies started that way.

Most of the people I know who are ancap dream about doing this.

They could form collectives right now but are too busy whinging and smoking bongs.

Anarchists also believe that won’t happen, but they also believe that everyone will suddenly work for the good of everyone.

At least ancaps know people are greedy little shits.

What won't happen? They know authoritarian organizations tend to happen in human societies and that people are greedy shits that's why they want to uproot them before they even start festering through violence.

If ancaps think people are greedy shits then why do these retards want to give greedy authoritarian organizations the opportunity to completely take over? Either they're mentally deficient and can't put two and two together or they're authoritarians in disguise hoping they'll be the ones who'll take over.

no, but the NAP

even though the first thing anyone with money and sense do is hire armed thugs to take everyone's property like in somalia

the bigger the thug army and the bigger the sticks/guns, the more success you will amount

Umm no, they know that. They just think they’ll be the ones on top due to their high IQ

Corporations cant force you shit, govt does, any day, every day.

Corporations can force you to pay rent to live in your house, just like how the government taxes you.

Corporations can't force you shit exactly because of the government you retard

Yes I love minimal govt.

If they'd stick to protecting life and property, ie police and army only, also legalization of victimless crimes, I'd be satisfied with their service.

Keep gulping down your Radithor grandpa

Without vigilant government regulation, corporations could put lead in our processed meat. For a tragic example, refer to this poor soul above.

nationalists that use capitalists as their base of function of their government

how

how did neoconservatives brainwash these melons into thinking that socialism is so bad, it is always inherently left

let me form my nationalistic government with this internationalist system

that makes sense, gamer

commies dislike the state, this doesn't means communism is not dictature with extra steps tho.

commies dislike the state

Then why do they give everything to it?

The state pinky promised once all the undesirables have been purged they’ll give it back.

Nobody ever accused commies of intelligence.

Theyre broke losers, they don’t have anything to give to it, they stand to receive shit from it

They call the state workers and therefore your giving to someone who's just like you and I.

All anarchists are retarded and should off themselves.

i started feeling tired just scrolling down this thread. not like, "i want to sleep" tired, more "i want sleep forever" tired

There is no authoritarian left

Universe-brain take.

Curiously similar to how the DDF claims there is no authoritarian right.

To be fair, the DDF is mealy-mouthed milquetoastery compared to the actual authoritarian right.

And chapotards are milquetoast compared to actual chad leftists like Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot

This but unironically.

Agent (tearfully) - "y-yes sir."

Imagine if we could ping this guy. Fuck this stupid sub

Honestly, I really wish Reddit admins could make it so you could block out subs from the ping feature so that people who are genuinely feeling harassed could just block us and be done with it. No need for pinging ban.

Absolute fucking psychopaths. Regressive leftists/progs are as evil as they come

That subs been comprised for a while, I got banned bc of that mass tagged crap. On reddit, centrism is being a liberal that thinks trump supporters should be sent to concentration camps for re-education rather than killed.

ummm sweaty, you're supposed to stop pushing on the qtip before it hits your brain

Wats the deal with his frenchy name? Wonder if he goes both way tbh

All he's saying is that as soon as an ideology/government becomes authoritarian, it is no longer actually leftist, that it becomes merely "Red Fascism," authoritarianism/class divide with leftist aesthetics/rhetoric. When you consider that the foundational idea of "leftism" is probably egalitarianism, this isn't unreasonable at all.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_fascism

So you mean to tell me that we have two authoritarian ideologies operating concurrently in the us right now which are competing with one another?

The left never owns it's failure. Communism has never been tried and all any big government program ever needed was more money to function correctly.

Fanatical Leftism has a tendency to quickly devolve into authoritarianism because a utopian society with a benevolent dictator is always corrupted when you actually add humans, these numbnuts dont even have the benefit of their ideology being grounded in faith in a god, instead they place their bet on the worst possible choice -- people.

So you mean to tell me that we have two authoritarian ideologies operating concurrently in the us right now which are competing with one another?

More than two, in fact. Is this really so hard to believe?

Not all forms of communism/socialism rely on a "benevolent dictator." Many forms are properly democratic, unlike liberal capitalism which is democracy in name only and is actually a veiled plutocracy.

Please give me an example of a form of socialism or communism that doesnt rely on some form of authority to maintain it's artifical 'equality'.

Without such an authority it is too easy for an individual to exploit the system and gain an advantage, humans are naturally inclined towards capitalism, the haves will lord over the have-nots if they are allowed to exist. An Authority responsible for policing such behavior is nessesary for the continued survival of the experiment, possessing that authority automatically grants them power over others, thus, communism becomes a lie.

The belief that a truly benevolent dictator can be found to maintain the rules of a communist utopia without being corrupted is a lie. Communism from it's onset is flawed. While capitalism is also flawed in the ways previously mentioned, it is honest about it's meritocratic and exploitative nature, or at least those aspects should be readily apparent.

I can't provide a historical example of this actually existing, but the idea is often called "democratic socialism." Why do you keep bringing up benevolent dictatorships? THat's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about a democratically controlled economy.

Sure, you COULD have a tyranny of the majority, but at least democracy guards against the tyranny of an individual, the dictator you keep bringing up. Democracy makes tyranny less likely, not impossible, and it also prevents bloody civil wars and revolutions. But yes, the population must be enlightened, rational and empathetic in order for a democracy to produce a libertarian socialist society, which I believe should be the goal.

Slavery is entirely democratic

What do you mean?

I mean

Democracy makes tyranny less likely,

Is a mass delusion of americanism

I mean real, socialist democracy, not the sham "democracy" that is liberal capitalism, which is in reality a veiled plutocracy.

"Real democracy is when people vote for what I believe in"

No real democracy is when the people control a government with absolute power.

It's funny because Marx talked about contradictions in capitalism but they're nothing compared to this huge one. Related is that the whole endeavor pushes for equality of outcome, ise handicaping those with greater intrinsic qualities, but it's dependent on great, talented, smart men implementing it in the first place. How's that gonna work? 🤔🤔. No wonder those guys usually just keep the power themselves after the revolution.

but it's dependent on great, talented, smart men implementing it in the first place.

Marx never said this. That's not what he meant by a "dictatorship of the proletariat" at all. By that he just meant that the working class should have absolute control over the state and the economy as a means of ultimately achieving a global, classless, stateless society.

Yeah but he was an idiot about that lol

Successful organized revolutions have to be led by those types of people. The exact type of people that communism would seek to control and hamstring. So of course after the revolution, those types aren't gonna relinquish power.

And every time, communists are shocked lol

Just socialism would empower such people and allow them to reach their full creative potential, in fact. But I slo think Marx was wrong on a lot, including the dictatorship of the proletariat. It should be a dictatorship of the PEOPLE not of workers!

With the abolition of private property, then, we shall have true, beautiful, healthy Individualism. Nobody will waste his life in accumulating things, and the symbols for things. One will live. To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

The foundation of leftism is collectivism, not egalitarianism. Unless we have another hot take to redefine that word as well.

That's not what Wikipedia and its 4 citations say.

Left-wing politics supports social equality and egalitarianism, often in opposition to social hierarchy.[1][2][3][4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_politics

And that's it's foundation now for what reason? Most theoretical political systems claim to support those things but if they give equality for equity when push comes to shove then it's hardly the foundation.

That's ALWAYS been the foundation and origin of "leftism", as leftists were originally opposed to monarchy and feudal hierarchy. And no, conservatism is explicitly against egalitarianism and for hierarchy and class.

Anarchy != egalitarian

Wikipedia: where every definition of communism is accurate, but the definition of libertarianism is bourgeois propaganda.

wut?

Nonsense. One of the primary bases of the real right (not the fake liberal libertarian version) is in-group loyalty.

Both the far ledt and far right operate on Idpol so sure, but neither one has a monopoly on collective bullshit so I don't see how whataboutism applies.

Leftism can't lose when all the failures are defined as right wing

broke: Stalin was communist

woke: That's not real communism!

bespoke: The political compass is a lie!

I can't imagine actually being this leftie that you see Stalin as right-wing. Like this person has to be the most Gollum-esque, Chapo-hearing, Harry Potter-viewing specter of upper-middle class west-coast socialism whose only sustenance is viewing posts on /r/LSC

Ah yes, the old bad guy right good guy left routine.

So did that guy get ironically or unironically upvoted

Authoritarian government is pretty much the same left or right.

Yes, it's called horseshoe theory. The idea that in order to maintain such a rigid vision of society, authoritarian rule is required.

Authoritarian left and right are almost indistinguishable at their apex, both heavily control their populations with propaganda, both impose (often criminal) penalties for straying outside of the imposed societal margins. The original goals may have been different but the ultimate result is the same -- totalitarian power for those at the top and subjugation for those below.

Thanks for the quality response.

Left wing = Politics that oppose and reduce inequality and hierarchy. Politics that seek to do what's best for society as a whole even to the detriment of elites

Hottest take: How can anyone even consider being right-wing when left-wing literally fucking means to do what is best for society as a whole. That's the best ideology ever! Literally always right, per definition.

There is no authoritarian left and the so-called libertarian right is really just authoritarian right with extra steps.

I lost all my braincells reading this

It's over for braincells

If anything, left-wing libertarianism doesn't exist. When you deprive people of economic freedom (i.e. private property) that also constitutes authoritarianism. Prominent left-wing "libertarians" like Chomsky have routinely praised socialist dictators in the past.

Leftcoms are the best ideology because they’re the ones who have actually read Marx and figured out that the only real Marxist solution is to do nothing and talk about how everything is bullshit

the political compass is libertarian propaganda

they only think that because they confuse it for the world's smallest political quiz (which IS libertarian propaganda) purely because they both have a four axis system
