No, you can't nuance. I SAID Stalin and Pol POot and Mao were left wing statists in conjunction with those like Franco, Hitler, Salazar. The context was 'authoritarianism'.
"autoritarian" is spelled authoritarian. What you fail to understand is that statist authoritarians can be left and right wing.
Look, begin with "nuance" and "context". Then with "authoritarianism" and "statism".
Use real dictionaries and thesauri, please. Don't talk to me again until you can contribute to an adult, sophisticated conversation.
Starkey, that's where you liberal educated bs is wrong. First of all your NUANCE differences that are not important....they just arent. Most people dont know the differnces between and AMD And INTEL CPUs, but they're basically the same thing and they do the same thing...just like Stalin and Hitler..
I understand nuance, but I dont care about it....nuance is a term pretentious people use to try and sound intelligent, it's just a form of academic snobbery.
In fact here is the definition..
Nuance-
1. A subtle or slight degree of difference, as in meaning, feeling, or tone; a gradation.
2. Expression or appreciation of subtle shades of meaning, feeling, or tone: a rich artistic performance, full of nuance.
notice subtle or feeling or tone.....which is surface stuff that doesnt matter.
Now PRACTICLLY...which is the important one is they are the same. And as for the left-right spectrum...lets see
Left-biggger govenment---leads to--->communism/facism
Right-smaller government ---leads to---->anarchy
Now why did I choose those, because communists and facists are about HUGE governement controlling your life...Anarchy is about no governement...see how that works.....the left is bigger and the right smaller government.
Now I know how you're going to nuance me and say that communism and anarchy are the same thing, and it's possible the left and right meet at utopian socialism...but the left buys into that way more that the right does...the difference is the right doesnt want anarchy, while the left wants communism.
