What brought you together? Jungle music, meth, or George Zimmerman idolization?

Neoliberals and lolberts are left-winged so they will find ways to justify their ideology from an egalitarian framework. Doesn't mean it's true. Capitalism doesn't upset the balance. It advances it even further.

It is insane that you can possibly think this. This isn’t ideologically consistent with your other posts here. The whole dichotomy you’re speaking of as well is entirely fabricated.

I literally have no idea what you're talking about. Legit don't. Explain. Break it down.

Explain to me how neolibs and lolberts occupy the same space as leftism. I am not talking about “leftist” radlibs who think communism means drawing furry p*** on Twitter and gay rights. Explain to me how lolberts occupy the same space as Stalin

Pretty sure I distinguished between left vs. right and progressive vs. conservative.

What is your actual definition of these alignments?

US "conservatives" are pathetic for embracing people like Andrew Tate. They just want to be contrarians all the time. They are gonna lose 2024 and they deserve it

left vs. right = egalitarian vs anti-egalitarian

liberal/progressive vs. conservative = culturally radical vs. culturally traditional.

So yes, you can be a lolbert and be on the left.

I think natural elites have a stronger case to run society than the masses. Monarchies are better for the reasons Hoppe listed (assuming you read Hoppe) + power is more constrained under a monarchy than under regimes closer to direct democracy. This comes from De Jouvenel.

Do I think any of this is practical right now? Probably not, but that has more to do with individual issues and the mindset of the masses because of changes in culture and less to do with the practicality of the system if all else was equal

How can you say Marxism is left then under this dichotomy? This seems like more of a partisan assumption

I was joking. I thought your comment was stupid so i just applied the same kind of thinking to the other side. Marxism communism and liberalism aren't under the same umbrella even if there are some similarities and conservatives that call everyone who is liberal a socialist or marxist are stupid. It's a meme at this point.

I want to repeal the 20th century and I want the state to burn to the ground. By state I mean public government. I want to see 100,000 countries structured like liechenstein and switzerland with extreme decentralization. War is the health of the state.
