The False Left-Right Political Scale Revealed

The false left-right political scale is one of the most utilized and most misleading concepts plaguing people who genuinely pay attention to the world and try to make sense of it. In this article, the false left-right political scale will be revealed so you will be able to make sense of what you watch on the Main Stream News.

Much of the problem is that the modern media either doesn’t understand the political scale, or they are intentionally misrepresenting it as a form of deception. There is a class of very rich and very powerful people who does understand the true political scale, and they hope to keep most Americans (and everybody else in the world) as ignorant as possible. These rich, powerful people are motivated by the same thing that motivates most tyrannical dictators or dictator wannabes. They are motivated by their need to maintain and expand their wealth and power. They wish to dominate.

If you don’t know the basics of political thought, stripped of all the jargon, it’s difficult to pierce the veil of lies, half-truths and illusion erected to mislead the public. However, If the majority of population knows and understands just what the true political left-right scale is, they will become much harder to deceive.

Most people know the false left-right political scale. It’s referenced every hour of every day on every news channel on television. Yes, even Fox.

Imagine a line on a chalkboard. This line represents a scale where the left and right sides of the scale are diametrically opposed to each other. Beginning at the extreme left and traveling right, we start with the communists, then the socialists, leftists, liberals and, in the middle, some form of social democracy.

From the extreme right and traveling left, we start with the fascists, then the nationalists, conservatives, neo-conservatives, and we meet in the middle, once again, with social democracy.

To illustrate how this is a false left-right pollical scale, I’ll compare what are supposed to be the polar opposites, the communists and fascists. These two groups hate each other, and they have since before the rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany. One of the first things Hitler did was to round up the communist and socialist party members and haul them off to the concentration camps. This is also where the current antifa (anti-fascist) movement running around loose in the U.S. supposedly had its birth, fighting against the NAZI party.

However, if you look carefully at the proposed organization of society each of them offers, they are nearly identical. Even the rhetoric is the same, but it sounds just different enough to fool most people.

In communism, the bourgeoisie (moneyed class) cause all the problems and exploit the proletariat (workers) of society. In fascism, those who are impure (foreigners) are to blame for taking advantage of the pure (insert race or nationality here) of the society. It’s always easier to take power if you have some minority to blame everything on.

In communism, the dictatorship of the proletariat (dictator) is responsible for crushing the evil bourgeoisie and eradicating all threats to the advancement of communism. In fascism, the leader (dictator) is the embodiment of the people and is responsible for purifying the race and protecting the nation. Whatever you call it, it’s still a dictator.

In communism, all property belongs to the state. In fascism, you can still own private property, but the state exercises complete control over all means of production through “public private partnerships.” If you don’t control your property, you don’t really own it. Both systems require the consolidation and control of wealth and productive capacity in the hands of the state.

In communism, the proletariat (workers) is the honored class the government purports to speak for. In fascism, the government pretends to speak for the “organism of society,” the past, present and future generations who make up the state. The reason for this is that a dictatorship needs a class of people it can speak and act for, and it must have a reason for the draconian actions it must take to take and maintain power. This is the elevation of the rights of the collective over the rights of the individual.

Both communism and fascism believe in national health care, abortion, euthanasia, the suppression of any speech threatening the state, government-controlled trade unions, the complete confiscation of all guns to ensure a government monopoly on the use of force and, believe it or not, a one-world government. In addition, historically both communism and fascism are, forgive my choice of words, pure murder on Christians and Jews. There’s a reason the NAZI acronym stands for the National Socialist German Workers Party.

So you see that the false left-right political scale is revealed as a lie, and it confuses the public on purpose. If communism and fascism are the same kind of absolute dictatorship, what’s in the middle of the scale between the two? On a scale where black is on both the left and the right, the center can only be black. A proper color scale has black on one side, white on the other, with various shades of gray in the middle. Likewise, the proper political scale has all forms of absolute dictatorship on the left and absolute anarchy on the right.

Both communism and fascism hold that the absolute sovereign is the state, and all people are to serve the state. (It’s called being a slave.)

The United States was founded on the principle that the individual is the absolute sovereign, and that the state is to serve the people. To insure this remained the case, the framers of the U.S. Constitution distributed the powers of government and limited them to a bare minimum. In terms of the true political scale discussed here, the governing system of the United States should be one step to the left of anarchy and diametrically opposed to both communism and fascism.

It’s the defense of the U.S. Constitution and its limitation on the power of government that define a true conservative, the true right wing of the Republican Party and of our nation.
