Your spittle load is choking you. Obviously deprived of oxygen.
Snarking is an ART.... sorry you suck at it..
Good authority says I’m not only great at snarking, but that I can quickly determine that white and off-white are not at different ends of the color spectrum.
The fact that you wanted to conflate “democracy” into the primary issue, while ignoring the fundamental issue, indicates that you knew you were wrong, but too obstinate to admit it.
And for the record, we do have a democratic process. We elect our representatives. Sometimes we even have true democracy when we vote on referendums. Democratic election is the method by which our representative, constitutional republic functions.
It’s so tiring, trying to get shallow thinkers, who only know a handful of arguments that they feel compelled to fit all situations, to reexamine what they’ve been instructed to regurgitate.
The Left-right political spectrum came from Britain, where MPs voted by walking out the left door or right door. The American elite, especially in the media, liked the phraseology, so they impressed it. Eventually the Left became solidly associated with socialism, the Right was never well defined other than being opposition to the Left.
During the 20s and 30s, Soviet Communism was a darling of the Left and it became accepted as Far Left. Academia also started to use the notion of the Left-Right spectrum in the 30s, but it wasn’t common.
When the evils and destruction of communism started to become well known, the Left had a PR problem. Academia and the media needed a bogeyman of equal weight to balance the spectrum, so they took the NAZI and shoved them onto the poltical special trump at the far end from the Soviets. It’s completely illogical, but it served their purpose. If they couldn’t rehabilitate communism, they would at least frighten people from moving away from it.
Your regurgitation of Progressive propaganda from the 1950s proves that you can remember what you have been taught. I’m challenging you to reject that crap and place all repressive governments at one end of the spectrum and individual freedom at the other.
The best way to picture the political spectrum is as a many sided pyramid. The peak is total individual freedom. Each side is a different type of governmental system, with the bases being total state control. To slopes of the various sides vary and gravity plays the part of human nature. A Constutional Republic has a shallow slope, while fascism and communism have steep slopes. Theoretically, you could have individual freedom in those system but the slope makes it highly unlikely.
Now, if you can get over your butt hurt, you’ll understand that the Left-Right, Communist-Nazi spectrum is just a Progressive political tool.
