Right-wing means supporting the status quo, maintaining traditional policies and values, and nationalism. Left-wing is about equality and providing as much individual liberty while also being progressive on a global scale. Socialism, while generally a left-wing ideology, is not a political position. Socialism is simply an economic system which is generally favored by those on the left. But is it not exclusive. The Nazis, since you bring it up, were right-wing (strong national policy, bad foreign policy, traditionalists, etc.), but had many social policies. For example, the Nazis provided Jewish slave labor to various companies for free, thus supporting capitalist companies (like BMW) with free slave labor. The Nazi government, therefore, participated in the means of production, which is socialist in nature. Also, we can look at the German Labor Front for another example of how the right-wing Nazi party participated in socialism. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted: Seriously though, right wing traditionally has meant more individualized ideologies. The idea that one can take care of ones self and belongings as long as it does not interfere with anothers rights. Hence why they are usually always anti big government, who needs and thrives off dependency. So how can you have those right wing ideologies coincide with government taking care of all manners of someones life? And hes not wrong saying revisionist history. Nazis are always protrayed now in schools and media as right wing nationalist who fought the left wing communists Soviets. The truth is they were both left wingers doing what left wingers do best. Trample people in the name of bigger government. Id say that the people of Papua New Guinea were some of the biggest right wingers of that whole war haha Socialism, while generally a left-wing ideology, is not a political position. Socialism is simply an economic system which is generally favored by those on the left. But is it not exclusive.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Right-wing means supporting the status quo, maintaining traditional policies and values, and nationalism. Left-wing is about equality and providing as much individual liberty while also being progressive on a global scale. -In todays party terms, the thing is traditional values and policies would have been idividualism and self reliance, especially in an agrarian society. Also i would highly argue equality and idividual liberty being a left wing virtue. Why is it that left wing will vote for bigger government if these are things that matter to them? Why would they regualte themselves more? Also equality can really only be through mutual respect of not infringing on someone elses rights, something big government loves to do. Socialism, while generally a left-wing ideology, is not a political position. Socialism is simply an economic system which is generally favored by those on the left. But is it not exclusive. -Socialism is the politicization of the economy. You replace businessmen with bueracrats. The government regulates the economy and will not allow an individual to rise as fast as they could. The Nazis, since you bring it up, were right-wing (strong national policy, bad foreign policy, traditionalists, etc.), but had many social policies. For example, the Nazis provided Jewish slave labor to various companies for free, thus supporting capitalist companies (like BMW) with free slave labor. The Nazi government, therefore, participated in the means of production, which is socialist in nature. -Nazis were not traditionalists in anyway shape or form. Also if they were right wing and cared about individual freedoms, then whyd they do everything they did? Also how is this any different than Stalins progroms? People forced by the government to do work agains their will for the bettermemt of the nation. Dont forget the vast majority of German "capitalist" companies were government subsidized to nearly the point of nationalization. Also, we can look at the German Labor Front for another example of how the right-wing Nazi party participated in socialism. The German Labour Front was just the bureaucratic wing of the government priortized on industry. Do you think all those unions could have actually striked or would they have been imprisoned or executed? Ie do they have a choice |

Thanks for taking the time to post this, I'm glad someone gets it. One only needs to look at religious conservatives and the history of pornography for examples. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quoted:
Traditionally, conservatives are the type who invoke censorship, not progressives. There’s been an awful lot of censorship over the years in America because something was seen to be “sinful” or “indecent” by the “decent, god fearing, moral majority”(conservatives). Edgy art, rude language, drug use, nudity or even just suggestive behavior, etc. The radical censorship efforts of the American left is a relatively new thing, at least on the mainstream scale that it’s currently happening on. Go back a few decades and take a look at what kind of things were being censored in American culture, though. I’m not sticking up for the left in any way, shape, or form. Their efforts at silencing any and all dissent are inexcusable. But they’re not the only wannabe censors at work in America. The sad truth is that the majority of Americans of all political stripes really don’t understand or like the First Amendment and would gleefully silence anyone that they disagree with if given the opportunity. The left is just having better luck with it lately. One only needs to look at religious conservatives and the history of pornography for examples. |

Good points, but the Nazis were German traditionalists. Socialism came in with Bismarck, hate of the Jews actually goes way, way back all over Europe, and Blood and Soil had been around way before them. They put a new spin on a lot of old German ideas. Our traditionalism isn’t theirs, not by a long shot. |

But youre right, their traditionalism is leftist and we are one of the first right wing traditionalist experiments with the ideas of mutual respect for indivdual rights You know what, screw it.

This place has gotten tons less interesting and fun as it's gotten locked down. Site ownership/staff isnt blind to this or the dozens of other similar threads regarding these issues & concerns which are leading rapidly to the declining morale & lack of support for this site. One could not be blamed for assuming that they could care less if behavior is on one hand both condoned & ignored when done by some "favorite" members & certain "mods", but is then punished when equally done by others - via a sliding scale of rules, some of which are known to no one or didnt violate a single known CoC. This has the appearance and is in many ways, absolute censorship. Despite these threads, afaik not a single site owner/staff has ever actually addressed them & the concerns of a growingly large number of ARF members, let alone stood back, took a look around and made corrections where they are clearly needed. (hint - its not more rules & more mods overlording the bread & butter of this site, but perhaps hard & fast rules, known by EVERYONE for the mods themselves) I think that in itself is statement enough. but I digress.

Its the ultimate in tin-foil hat conspiracy theory bullshit. This is not me surrendering. This is me not engaging a crack pot conspiracy nut any further. Good day sir! Much like philosophers have schools of thought (rationalists vs empiricists for example), there are schools of thought among historians where historical events are interpreted through a certain perspective. There is a thing in academia called "revisionist history". It's not tin foil hat, because it's literally out in the open, historians write books that they acknowledge are written from a revisionist perspective.

The proliferation of these threads recently reminds me of the fucking Democrats and their lapdog liberal media trying to talk down the economy. Bring up the topic enough, beat people over the head with it often enough, more and more people jump in because they want to be cool, too, and it eventually has the desired impact.
Sad that some of the participants in these site bitch/gripe threads readily acknowledge how the left does that in threads about the economy and the upcoming election, but you can't see yourselves doing the same thing to this site. Even worse, though, you're actually using the resources provided by the very site that you're attacking to run it in the ground. Muh free speech, though, so keep on running it down. SMFH |

Conservatism in this country (because we have a tradition of liberty) and arguably Liberalism have been about providing as much individual liberty as possible, but Leftism has never been so. Leftism's stated goal is equality of outcome. The fact is, equality of outcome and liberty are mutually exclusive. Men may be equal in the eyes of God, and they should be equal before the law, but they aren't blessed with equal talents so in a free society the outcomes will be decidedly unequal. The only way you can obtain equality of outcome is to empower the government with extremely coercive powers that are liberally used to overcome the unequal distribution of talents found in any group of humans. Leftism, with it's speech codes, quotas, and unrestrained government power has *never* been about liberty. |

The only way you can obtain equality of outcome is to empower the government with extremely coercive powers that are liberally used to overcome the unequal distribution of talents found in any group of humans. Leftism, with it's speech codes, quotas, and unrestrained government power has *never* been about liberty. He simply could NOT be more wrong. |
