The union jack is ideologically identical to a swastika, at this point.
Look at some of the far-right leaders - Margaret Thatcher, George Bush, Saddam Hussein, Ayatollah Khomeni, Pol Pot, Stalin, Mussolini, name omitted to avoid triggering Godwin, Boris Johnson, Tony Blair - all extremely far right, all guilty of heinous crimes against humanity. Do you stand with them?
- the_third_wave 4y agoYou did not answer my question on how you defined your 'far-left' ideology nor did you answer the 'yes/no' question I posed earlier. Have a go at it? As to me standing with the ragtag assembly of disparate leaders who you label as 'extremely far right' [1] I wonder why you ask since I do not label myself as 'far-right' nor as 'right'. Those labels are just silly since political thought is not 2-dimensional. I sometimes agree with the "right", sometimes with the "left" (as in "traditional left", not the modern identity-politics lunacy), in some ways I tend more towards anarchy, in other ways I deem there to be a need for more authority. [1] ...which is odd given that Hussein was the leader of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, Khomeini was pushed to power by leftists [2] some of whom continued to support him after it became clear he was intent on implementing a theocracy, Blair is a champagne socialist, Johnson a centrist populist, Pol Pot, Stalin and Hitler are various types of (inter)national socialists, Bush (which one? H.W or W?) a centre-right corporate puppet and Thatcher - finally someone who can be called 'right-wing' - just a straight right-winger.
