Where do the environmental capitalists and left-wing fascists fit into this picture?
Left-wing fascists? lol surely that's a contradiction?
Not at all, the left often tends towards fascism when you add nationalism to the picture.
"a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government"
While it is often described as "right-wing" It generally depends on your definition of right-wing to be able to suss that out.
FDR (Franklin Roosevelt) is a great example of a left-wing facist. many "New Deal" programs were extremely controlling (minimum wage, price fixing see National Recovery Act, much much more.) For instance: On December 19, 1941 President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 8985, which established the Office of Censorship and conferred on its director the power to censor international communications in "his absolute discretion."
Very much proves to me my stance on this.
Politicians use ideological "packaging" very frequently, in order to get people to accept something they naturally oppose. Left-Right paradigm is the most beautifully abstract vehicle for this packaging technique, and it's the reason why I'm throwing out these contradictory tester statements.
"Left" or "Right" have no political meaning. Instead, they have a meaning projected onto them, depending on what the person doing the projecting wishes to achieve. A meaningless scale allows politicians to group together ideologies in a way that is useful to get the outcome they want; offer the public left wing liberalism, then deliver left wing socialism instead. What can you complain about then, you asked for left-wing, and that's what you were given!
(if you're thinking "but socialism and liberalism
are left wing", then keep thinking...)
