Political Spectrum Explained | What is the Political Spectrum? | Left Vs Right

What is the Political Spectrum? | Left Vs Right
This video describes what a political spectrum is, and what it is used for. It goes into the most common political spectra called the Left-Right spectrum and what each side is in simplistic terms. It then charts out different political theories and ideologies, policies, and parties from the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Poland. Afterwards, it concludes with some caution about the left-right spectrum and why it is important to understand what it is when analyzing bias in the media, politics, and in yourself.

    More Evidence: In his 1939 indictment of Nazism, Germany Rampant, Hambloch has an entire chapter on political parties under the German Empire before the First World War and political parties under the Weimar Republic. Hambloch lists parts of the “Left,” “Right” and “Centre” in the German Empire pre-1914, but there are no “Left,” “Right” or “Centre” parties in the Weimar Republic, but rather “Weimar Parties, i.e. those who supported the republican constitution,” “National Reactionary Parties” and “Revolutionary Parties.” The Nazis are listed, along with the Communist Party of Germany, as the two “Revolutionary Parties.” Pointedly, the Nazis were not considered a “National Reactionary Party.” Clarification: In 1930, Hitler tasked Hans Buchner to clarify what Nazi economic policies were. What did Buchner elect to call the economic policies of the Nazis? “State socialism.” Socialist supported Hitler's rise to power: Bernard Shaw and other Socialist supported Hitler. "While Parliaments get nowhere, Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin do things" More Policies: As the Nazis began to become a serious political party, in the 1930s, the Nazi deputies introduced a flurry of proposals: 1.To ban trading in stocks and bonds 2. To nationalize all large banks 3. To require registration of stock ownership with a state agency 4. To limit interest by law to five percent. (Bernie and Elizabeth Warren copied this) 5. To confiscate all profits acquired by inflation. These measures were not hidden; they were trumpeted on the front pages of Nazi periodicals to ensure that party members knew what the Nazi Party in the Reichstag was doing. Some Nazi proposals sound eerily modern. The Nazis, for example, proposed that old age and disability benefits (Social Security) be paid out of general revenue, rather than from the contributions of the individual recipient, and that the benefits be indexed to the cost of living.

But when you groups like the forest brothers which was communists, fascists, nationalists, pro democracy people, Anarchists all united and fighting against the soviets from 1942 ww2 all the way to the1960s and 70s its crazy. Or national bolsheviks which are heavily nationalist while believing heavily in communism, there flag is literally the same design as the german ww2 flag but instead of a black swastika its a black sickle and hammer on a white circle and red background. All I do is learn about military history I myself plan on joining the army and I learn most about ww2 even conflicts before it started like the spanish civil war and none of ww2 is black and white except the main countries that participated and even they are not always clear. There was polish resistance fighters who fought the nazis bravely for years only to be captured and executed by the damn soviets because they were quote “bandits”. So yea I no longer believe in the saying the enemy of my enemy is my friend when they will kill you after the main enemy is dead.

    Overall, I think the 2 major party system in the US has created so many problems today. It seems as if either side will do whatever it takes to keep as much of the power as possible. A couple recent examples of this is the Democratic Party pushing the Green Party off the ballot in a couple of the very important swing states, and the Republican Senate pushing for a new SCOTUS nomination before the election, despite not even voting on Obama’s nomination, Merrick Garland, back in 2016. Like George Washington believed, if there were no parties things could be much better. It would also encourage people to do more research to learn about candidates rather than always voting for left or right.

    Depends on which version you use. The European horseshoe model has wings, with both eventually leading to totalitarianism, only real difference is which path is used to get there. On the straight line model, extreme far right is anarchy (0% government / 100% individual rights and responsibilities, while the extreme far left is just the opposite (100% government / 0% individual rights and responsibilities) The original Constitutional Republic of the US (20% / 80%) can not be placed on the horseshoe model, because it doesn't go low enough. The bottom of the horseshoe is democracy (50% / 50%) with both wings leading to more government power. This is a HUGE reason that the media constantly calls America a democracy- because it limits individual rights and responsibilities while advocating for more government control.

From left to right 8 monarch 7 dictatorship 6 fascist/communism/socialist 5 oligarchs 4 democratization 3 centralist 2 republic 1 libertarian. 0 anarchists. The far left equals 100% government 0% individual to then far right 90% individualism 10% government. Far right equals smaller government and far left is bigger government like communism when they want to control the means of production and have a all equal society, meaning your not rich but equally poor as everyone around you.

    I’ll tell you what it is, grossly updated. The stereotypical placing of Fascism in particular, despite it being a historical split off from Socialism and becoming its own entity, is a particular sore sticking point. Individual freedom or liberty scales versus authoritarianism are usually better as far as spectrums go. However, even that’s lacking. Other than those two points, I still think you’ve made another great video.

    Actually if you think about the person who came up with Fascism which was Giovanni Gentile where Benito Mussolini succeeded his ideas, notice he was a Socialists back then way before he came up with fascism but he also had Nationalistic views and there was no other ideology that he could find that perfectly suits him because he supported government ownership of all property, he supported free healthcare and Education, but in the same time he supported Ethnic Nationalism meaning he thinks his ethnicity European White Arian was more superior and Independence and some other more Nationalistic views making him being Anti communists so he came up National-Socialism aka Fascism another term for it but smaller to put it into a little bit more sense.

Idiot, the only countries that represented the right and the left was during the Spanish civil war where Franco Spanish Nationalism vs the Republican Left trying to look like a democracy but they are just leftists acting like victims, while the Spanish Right wing Franco supporters supported dictatorship until Franco’s death they started to support democracy and Neo Nationalism by joining NATO.

All sides can be correct depending upon situations and perspectives but i think most people will disagree with the extreme sides to be true most of the times Btw I am a right centrist and i was a far leftist for a long time but soon realised being too woke in itself arises a lot of hypocrisy and since nobody can be completely centrist i see myself as a bit of conservative centrist which suits best according to me for my country politics

    These are so terrific. Thank you! (Definitely doing some strategic sharing to friends and family.) I think Fascism is really more of a tactic for growing and holding control of people through fear. It often starts with fear of the outsider, or some shadowy force that poses a risk to a certain segment of the population. If that force is defeated, the fascist retains power through a zero-tolerance policy on dissent. These practices can be used to further any ideology, regardless of their position on the political spectrum.

    What I find interesting is that, on a world stage, US politics mostly fall in the center and to the right. Meaning, if you were to plop the Democratic party (our "left-wing" party) in any other country, they'd probably be viewed as a centrist party, while Republicans would be a right-wing party. Bernie Sanders and the more progressive members of the Dems (i.e. the Democratic Socialists) would be your typical center-left to left-wing party, on a global scale. Even more interesting, everyone outside the US flips the color scale. The left is red and the right is blue. Apparently, it was that way in the US until 2000 when the media decided to switch it up, and it's been that way since.

I was a little surprised to see Facism placed on the Right side of the spectrum as it's just a slight deviance from socialism. Both of which deeply rooted in communism. In the simplistic of explains, the word "facism" refers to a bundle of sticks used for support. Symbolic of people banding together as a communal collective. There is a lot of great info to explain this more elegantly than I have.

    Fascism is right wing because of it's obsession with hierarchy and Fascists also privatized state run industry. Left is Socialism and Communism, Center is Capitalism and Right is Fascism broadly in terms of people who actually want the government to exist in the first place. The very first people fascists go after are communists and then social democrats. Communists want equality of people all over the world and fascists want a hierarchy for themselves and every other person on earth to be dead or at least kicked out of their territory. The main difference in the ideology is one believes all people are equal (left) and the other believes that their group is superior to all others by nature (right).

    In politics, the dividing line between Right and Left can be traced back to two obsessions: - the first (the torment of the Right) is a phobia of elements perceived to be incompatible with commonly used models in society - the second (the bane of the Left) is intolerance of models that appear to be imposed by society. In order to capture the meaning of these lines, we need to step back in time and recall the turmoil we experienced early in life as we began the process of blending into society when, as kids, we entered Planet School- or more precisely, Planet Classroom. Right there in the classroom we’ve all had to deal with a “problem kid”: “bad Johnny”- the student with the disrespectful, smug attitude and less than decent grades, the kid in the back that stole your lunch money, the chronic late-comer who seemed to own a single tattered and over-doodled notebook, the bully you best avoided if you didn’t want to find yourself running home bruised and with a ripped school uniform. The hopeless case that once had the nerve to show his privates to the girl in the second row and who always came back from the boys’ room reeking of cigarette smoke. No doubt that “bad Johnny” has raised concerns- more for some than for others- within the classroom/society. However, we can’t forget that other classmate of ours who is at the root of perhaps even more devastating issues- “Peter goody-two-shoes”. He came from a good family, he always sat in the front row, paid attention in class, gave a helping hand to less fortunate people, had good manners, dressed smartly, respected the teachers, sported perfect hairstyles and neatly organized books. The one who carefully put his school supplies away at the end of class, who always did his homework, who had the best grades- the one who came to school early each morning and couldn’t seem to wait to get started. He was a model to look up to, our term of comparison when we sensed we couldn’t be good enough in the world of social competition. In fact, Peter popped up- in more or less obvious ways- any time our parents scolded us or our teacher criticized us. And it was “Peter good-two-shoes” who really bothered us- especially when we felt his weight bearing down on our heads- a behavioral model imposed upon us by society. It is of the utmost importance to note that, for the purposes of this “treatise”, “Peter goody-two -shoes” should not be considered “good” in an absolute sense- but rather a model society sees in a positive light (not always rightfully so) and, more than that, tries to impose upon us. Similarly, “bad Johnny” does not have to be the bad guy- rather just something society -often erroneously- considers negative. You can see how Peter goody-two-shoes bothers people who are emotionally Left-wing, while an aversion to bad Johnny is the hallmark of Right-wingers. - The idea that humans are intrinsically good belongs to the Left. In this case, “bad Johnny” is not a great danger to society. Leftist ideology borrows Rousseau’s belief that people are good by nature, even if at times they are led astray by society. It is noteworthy that “Peter goody - two - shoes”, the Left’s obsession, represents society and the model it demands to impose. - The idea that some people are naturally diabolical is Right-wing: this belief derives from the suspicion that anyone could be a potential evil “bad Johnny”. In the Right’s vision, inspired by Hobbes, humans are evil by nature. They are always out to swindle, subjugate or rob others: hence the "Homo homini lupus" (man is a wolf for men) idea. In this case, it becomes society’s job to correct “bad Johnny” at any cost, if necessary by “sufficiently persuasive” means. The “Peter goody - two - shoes” theory is therefore a sociologically relevant construct which delineates the meaning of the dichotomous conundrum afflicting each and every one of us in our relationship with society as a whole: - On one hand, the refusal of models society itself endeavours to impose; - On the other, the perception of elements not in line with the dominant paradigms as alien to society.

    Fascism and Nazism is right wing and here's why: Both Nazism and Fascism are very conservative. They believe in strong traditional values in a sense that women's rights and LGBT rights were oppressed. Women were kicked out of any job positions and had to remained in their homes why their husbands had to be in the workforce. Anyone who was gay were killed or exiled from the country. Mussolini and Hitler supported capitalism and they were supported by conservatives as well. They were both opposed to every left wing ideology and they both viewed them as a their biggest threat. Both Mussolini and Hitler were staunch supporters of privatization, they turned a lot of public sectors/business into private sectors/businesses. There is nothing left wing about them.
