Why do people associate the Right wing with racism?

[The Old Man without a Beard]

When "racism" is NOT even related to politics!

It's a personal view, something you think in your head, but it isn't something that somehow runs a country. It's not an economical policy. It's not a social policy either, unless the government decides to control people's lives and discriminate racially. Then that's dictatorship, but not "racism".


Racism and politics are irrelevant words, but naturally liberaIs combine them to create a delusion for the whole nation, and make people falsely vote for them in fear of not being "racist."


True right winged policies are economic freedom, free market, free speech and press, and a small government. This is not compatible with a dictatorship. The super right wing form is Anarchism.

LEFT WING is a big government, that regulates the economy, personal life, and gives the government immense power to use for good- or bad. THATS how dictatorships happen. Which are obviously the super left wing form.





But of course, if wikipedia says so, it must be true, huh?




And yes, HitIer is a left winger.
Really? No, mate, no, the left wing IS for big government. Thats your whole philosophy. Pay more tax and give the government more regulations and they will become a moral, loving bunch of people that will help your country out. *Cough*.

Choose between the bipolar scale. Anarchism or totalitarianism. Anarchism or totalitarianism.






What Hitler hated doesn't determine his orientation. Cats and dogs hate each other, but they are both mammals.
So, angel, where does anarchism go?

Outside the brackets of the two wings? Or maybe straight in the middle?

Idiot, anarchism and statism are two opposites, They go on different ends.

Those ends are called the right and the left.





Eric, your answer is the most retarded here. As I said your private philosophy is NOT a political S-Y-S-T-E-M. It's your goddamn opinion. Whether you believe we are all equal or you believe in supremacy, that does not make you a politic. Come up with a way to run a country. Then you are.


Socialism and anarchism are almost complete opposites. Socialism is when the government has lots of control. Anarchism is when there is no government.


Now, if you round up everyone, and brainwash their heads until they chant "we are all equal!", that's not "socialism", that's DICTATORSHIP. If you PERSONALLY believe in it but run a country like the founding fathers did, then that's LIBERTARIANISM.

The primary impetus is the fact that after the 60s civil rights movement, Richard Nixon moved on the south using what he called his "Southern Strategy". It was a cynical PR campaign to appeal to white southern racists who were angry at national Democrats for having not supported the southern democrats who defended Jim Crow. It worked, but it left the party's power base disproportionately southern and rural, and left the party with the appearance of supporting racism even though it has never made any proposal or attempt to restore Jim Crow.

Hitler was considered a right winger at the time because the primary alternative were the socialists who were further left than he was. I hate the left-right paradigm, but that is why fascism is often called right wing.

Fascism was actually founded by Moussilini who was a socialist before WW1, but was angered by socialist opposition to the war. So he founded an ideology that combined the nationalism he adored with the centrally planned economy that socialists favor. He left property in the hands of the private sector simply because it was politically easier.

"In politics, left-wing describes an outlook or specific position that accepts or supports social equality, often in opposition to social hierarchy and social inequality."

Racists are opposed to equality. Therefore, they are to the right.

Anarchism can be left or right. Your definition is close to anarcho-capitalism.

ou could say that I'm a socialist libertarian / left-libertarian / social anarchist, etc.

I would take out all the authoritarianism out of government. I would legalize drugs, free Bradley Manning, and end unmanned air drone strikes.

But I would expand government to promote the general welfare. I'm for Medicare for all and repairing our broken down infrastructure.

Because of the tendencies of nationalists, traditionalist, and the Neo-Nazis to be racists. Incidentally, all of those groups usually right wing, if not far-right.

Everything is related to politics, especially social issues such as racism.

[pyrite ponderer]

Republicans are associated with racism because that's how liberals get votes. The democratic party recognized long ago that minority votes were becoming increasingly significant so they started the stradegy of telling minority groups that their opposition hates them.

In reality racism knows no party affiliation. I live near Boston. In Southie you'll find the biggest concentration of racists you've ever seen. Good luck getting an appartment there if your black. Yet everybody in that area is a democrat. That's rightx, a bunch of N word dropping democrats.

[pyrite ponderer]

In summation, I pretty much agree with what you have posted. In current practice, Democrats have found it useful to describe the Republican party/all conservatives and TP people as racists as an us vs them strategy that is polarizing and then will get votes from their constituents, many of which are what I describe as "low info voters"They are never going to stop an analyze where all this came from and realize that there is a great deal of racism in the Democratic party.
As people get a bit older and wiser and rise up in economic levels, they tend to leave the Democrat plantation and realize that they were fed a load of codswallop. Some of the more terminally damaged Obamabots and related minions never do. They cannot be fixed.
And yes it not exactly a party thing but racism is intertwined in the people that make up all of the political parties and is used as a weapon by one party against another when people in each party bear the blame. ( sorry ,redundant)
