Well regent - you fancy yourself the ultimate voice of reason on this forum and the enlightened one. I welcome you to articulate for us what is inaccurate about my statement here:It seems all the books, textbooks and otherwise are incorrect. Imagine all the political scientists going to work this morning and have no inkling of the true definition, and here it is, the real definition on these boards and written by posters in simple English. Who needs colleges and universities to get an education?
Right-wing:
Since we know that the right believes in limited government and maximum freedom for the individual, it's very easy to understand that the further right you go, government continues to get smaller and less powerful. As you start to go further right, you reach the libertarian. As you continue, you start to hit the radical fringe - the Sovereign Citizen. This is a person who believes they are "sovereign" unto themselves. They answer to nobody, under any circumstances. They do not recognize the U.S. government or even the U.S. Constitution. They believe they do not have to pay taxes, they do not have to obey traffic laws, etc. The farthest fringe and the very end is the Anarchist. The anarchist believes in no government and no laws at all.
Left-wing:
Since we know that the left believes in unlimited government with maximum power, it's very easy to understand that the further left you go, government continues to get larger and more powerful. As you start to go further left, you reach the socialist. As you continue, you start to hit the radical fringe - the Marxists. Finally, the farthest fringe and the very end is the Communist, Fascist, or Totalitarianism . These groups believes in in total government control. A person has no freedoms or rights - they do as instructed by the government for the "good" of the entire nation.
Fascism is authoritarian. Authoritarianism is the polar opposite in every way from the right-wing ideology. The further right you go - the smaller government gets until it ceases to exist at all - anarchist.
