Unfortunately right wing parties throughout the West have been taken over by grifters, and anything like traditional conservatism has been tossed by the wayside.
- VancouverMan 2y agoYou're absolutely right that some political parties wrongly use a term like "conservative" in their party name, or otherwise incorrectly portray themselves as being "right wing". Ultimately, though, they're still left-wing parties in practice, pushing left-wing ideologies, regardless of the facade they might try to put up. A party doesn't just become "right wing" because they claim to be, especially when their actions and policies are decidedly left-wing.
- immibis 2y agoPray tell, was Adolf Hitler left or right wing?
- VancouverMan 2y agoLeft wing, due to the use of large and intrusive government, collectivism, government-run make-work projects, government-run infrastructure projects, central economic planning, conscription, a disregard for individualism, and other policies that are inherently incompatible with right-wing ideology.
