I'm a socialist, which today is defined around the world as always democratic, fair capitalism. That's the respected, traditional political spectrum. Though it's often like a horse shoe, with anarchy outside- as fascism and communism can begin to resemble each other- to MORONS lol. Here's the New BS GOP "LF" version:I have a Masters in History 1990- before all your new GOP BS was even made up. The true political spectrum also includes an economic part, LW being communist (not capitalist), RW being fascist (allied with corporations, capitalist) like Naziism. You have a masters in RW GOP BS, dupes. Popularized by "Liberal Fascism" ("Absolute drivel"- the Economist) and the New BS GOP propaganda machine...a disgrace.P and L have ALWAYS been lefty, Fascism always RW. Welcome to reality- Not bs GOP propaganda of the last 15 years....Progressivism has ALWAYS been fascist. Liberalism isn't.
Wrong again little hater dupe. There is no RW/LW. There is collectivist vs individualist. If you are for authoritarian government you are left wing. Period. The ultimate form of right wing government is NO GOVERNMENT. In other words anarchy. But hater dupes like you have no clue. You just parrot the crap your progressive asshats shove up your keester.

Did you post that chart because it's how you see the political spectrum or to show the narrative pushed by the 'New BS GOP propaganda machine'.
Either way, I do not see socialism as being more restricting on personal freedom. If anything socialism enhances personal freedom. I realize that for may years conservatives have pushed the narrative that socialism restricts personal freedom...so much so that all too many people believe it, but it just ain;t so.
For example:
1. The installation of the Federal highway system was a 'socialist' project, yet it enhances our personal freedom.
2. The installation of a robust public transportation system would enhance everyone's personal freedom.
3. A socialized medical system would greatly enhance our personal freedoms.
The only personal freedom that socialism restricts is the freedom to horde wealth and to not contribute to society.

"I'm a socialist,...."
You mean you're a loser, don't you?
"As Venezuela descends into a nightmare of starvation and violence, the long-standing debate over the feasibility of socialism takes on new relevance. Years of explicitly socialist policies from the Chavez and Maduro regimes have taken their toll, as nationalization and a variety of other attempts to abolish or subvert market processes have destroyed what was once one of South America’s richest countries.
....one can easily find lots of examples (from Michael Moore to Bernie Sanders) of people on the left praising or endorsing Chavez’s economic policies. So what can people who took that position say in the face of this disaster? "
