The Vital Difference

[piercehawkeye45]

Authoritarian Right - The ethnic cleansing/military/everything will fuck you.

Authoritarian Left - The corruption will fuck you.

Libertarian (aka anarcho-captialism) - The system will fuck you

Anarchy – Utopian society, won't exist.

No way to go except to hide in the middle.


All authoritarian governments are bad for civil liberties whether it is left or right, will fuck you in the end. The right comes off as more brutal because they are upfront with their corruption and views, the left is usually eaten from the inside out.

Also Ibram, by leftists do you mean left as in anarchist left or as authoritarian communism left? They are both left but are completely different.

In this context, by right/left, I just mean Republicans vs. Democrats, in the US, right now, specifically.

In the grand scheme of things its obviously impossible to say whether the left or the right is more or less authoritarian, because obviously both sides cover the spectrum.
But in the USA, right now, the right, the Republicans, are by far more authoritarian.
