Please remake this video. Fascism is a form of socialism. They are very anti market.... Until you made this statement your video was great... If you're uncertain that fascism is on the left... Please let me help.
Fascist policies: Mussolini: 8 hour work day minimum wage worker participation management of industry had been given over to proletariat organizations state secular education progressive tax confiscation of echlesiatical property and revenue. Hitler: Abolition of unearned income confiscation of war profits nationalization of corp profit sharing in industrial enterprises reconstruction of national public education so curriculum is brought in line with practical life creation of a national press prohibition and prosecution of newspapers who put out stories not conducive of national welfare.
More Evidence: In his 1939 indictment of Nazism, Germany Rampant, Hambloch has an entire chapter on political parties under the German Empire before the First World War and political parties under the Weimar Republic. Hambloch lists parts of the “Left,” “Right” and “Centre” in the German Empire pre-1914, but there are no “Left,” “Right” or “Centre” parties in the Weimar Republic, but rather “Weimar Parties, i.e. those who supported the republican constitution,” “National Reactionary Parties” and “Revolutionary Parties.” The Nazis are listed, along with the Communist Party of Germany, as the two “Revolutionary Parties.” Pointedly, the Nazis were not considered a “National Reactionary Party.” Clarification: In 1930, Hitler tasked Hans Buchner to clarify what Nazi economic policies were. What did Buchner elect to call the economic policies of the Nazis? “State socialism.” Socialist supported Hitler's rise to power: Bernard Shaw and other Socialist supported Hitler. "While Parliaments get nowhere, Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin do things" More Policies: As the Nazis began to become a serious political party, in the 1930s, the Nazi deputies introduced a flurry of proposals: 1.To ban trading in stocks and bonds 2. To nationalize all large banks 3. To require registration of stock ownership with a state agency 4. To limit interest by law to five percent. (Bernie and Elizabeth Warren copied this) 5. To confiscate all profits acquired by inflation. These measures were not hidden; they were trumpeted on the front pages of Nazi periodicals to ensure that party members knew what the Nazi Party in the Reichstag was doing. Some Nazi proposals sound eerily modern. The Nazis, for example, proposed that old age and disability benefits (Social Security) be paid out of general revenue, rather than from the contributions of the individual recipient, and that the benefits be indexed to the cost of living.

Thank you for this video and talking about how things aren’t so black and white. This is so important in today’s political climate, where everyone acts like you have to be either one thing or another. It’s not that simple!
@@haza6893 Well sure you can categorize ideology itself. But when you groups like the forest brothers which was communists, fascists, nationalists, pro democracy people, Anarchists all united and fighting against the soviets from 1942 ww2 all the way to the1960s and 70s its crazy. Or national bolsheviks which are heavily nationalist while believing heavily in communism, there flag is literally the same design as the german ww2 flag but instead of a black swastika its a black sickle and hammer on a white circle and red background. All I do is learn about military history I myself plan on joining the army and I learn most about ww2 even conflicts before it started like the spanish civil war and none of ww2 is black and white except the main countries that participated and even they are not always clear. There was polish resistance fighters who fought the nazis bravely for years only to be captured and executed by the damn soviets because they were quote “bandits”. So yea I no longer believe in the saying the enemy of my enemy is my friend when they will kill you after the main enemy is dead.
Overall, I think the 2 major party system in the US has created so many problems today. It seems as if either side will do whatever it takes to keep as much of the power as possible. A couple recent examples of this is the Democratic Party pushing the Green Party off the ballot in a couple of the very important swing states, and the Republican Senate pushing for a new SCOTUS nomination before the election, despite not even voting on Obama’s nomination, Merrick Garland, back in 2016. Like George Washington believed, if there were no parties things could be much better. It would also encourage people to do more research to learn about candidates rather than always voting for left or right.
Just to correct something, the Right has never been considered Fascist until Google changed the definition. It was always Communism (Left) vs Capitalism (Right).
Well,Polish newspaper when Hitler become Chancellor called his government far-right, reactionary,and anti-social It is political science which Create Modern definition of Left and Right
Depends on which version you use. The European horseshoe model has wings, with both eventually leading to totalitarianism, only real difference is which path is used to get there. On the straight line model, extreme far right is anarchy (0% government / 100% individual rights and responsibilities, while the extreme far left is just the opposite (100% government / 0% individual rights and responsibilities) The original Constitutional Republic of the US (20% / 80%) can not be placed on the horseshoe model, because it doesn't go low enough. The bottom of the horseshoe is democracy (50% / 50%) with both wings leading to more government power. This is a HUGE reason that the media constantly calls America a democracy- because it limits individual rights and responsibilities while advocating for more government control.
The thing is, this is the AMERICAN perspective. In Europe the Right is not so much about individual freedoms - if at all - and more about conservative, religious, traditionalist values. I stick to the European understanding. Also let us remember that Right and Left are historically quite dynamic. Especially Left, which went from radical Social Liberalism of the French Revolution to complete totalitarian Communism a century later. Moderate Liberalism would be the Center (with variation of Center-Left or Center-Right), whereas Fascism and Nazism would be Left-Right Extreme (not simply Left or Right), the opposite of Center.
I love your channel and how unbiased you are. I was scared to search information about these political/economic philosophy’s at first because I thought people were going to sort of explain it in terms of their beliefs. But you do a very good job at giving a remarkably unbiased general view on each side you talk about (I like the historical context that you provide as well)
I am a right centrist and i was a far leftist for a long time but soon realised being too woke in itself arises a lot of hypocrisy and since nobody can be completely centrist i see myself as a bit of conservative centrist which suits best according to me for my country politics
Funny how Fascism is on the right side of the political spectrum. According to the drawings, Fascism primes for individual liberty, laissez- faire, freedom of speech, government plays a small part. Makes perfect sense.
The right and the left are MAKING it much more black and white today. The divisiveness is horrible and tearing this country apart and each side just blames the other.
Even if you are a moderate (right leaning), you still don't see the false equivalence of saying the left is as responsible for strife as the right is in this country. Who's passing laws restricting people's rights? Who's got armed militias roaming the streets? Who's the side that has growing skepticism in democracy? I'll give you a hint it isn't the left. And even if you don't have a personal problem with gay people your party largely does. Your party is increasingly being influenced by it's worst parts and you're ok with that. People like you enable this behavior by not calling it out and by continuing to normalize and vote for these kooks. You're cool with your gay boss but you'd probably be fine if your boss was a homophobe too.
Democrats are on the right as well that's mistaken to think they are left leaning, they should be left but they are left of the Republicans but still right leaning
This is an excellent video. You are right, Prof Zimmerman, that we need to better understand these topics and concepts ourselves so that we can combat media bias and make decisions based upon fact. I find it difficult sometimes to separate voting for the person and voting for the party. I wish both matched up perfectly but oftentimes they don't. Look forward to future videos! Keep 'em coming!
@@IllustratetoEducate that video was wrong. If your talking about a political spectrum in a linear fashion then this video was very misleading. Do your self a favor and actually read up on the what and how fascism is and started before you put that on the right and read it on a book, not on google. Its a similar construct as socialism. From left to right 8 monarch 7 dictatorship 6 fascist/communism/socialist 5 oligarchs 4 democratization 3 centralist 2 republic 1 libertarian. 0 anarchists. The far left equals 100% government 0% individual to then far right 90% individualism 10% government. Far right equals smaller government and far left is bigger government like communism when they want to control the means of production and have a all equal society, meaning your not rich but equally poor as everyone around you. And last, anarchists is 100% individualism and 0% government
@@ronnierabell1 I appreciate that you edited your comment from the original. I got the message loud and clear that you don’t like this video. Look forward to seeing your content someday so that I can understand this topic more clearly.
I was raised in an environment so strongly biased towards the left that I don’t even know what to believe anymore. That being said, It’s refreshing to see such an informative video and comment section for a change, rather than a mess of heated arguments and bias.
@Lonely Survivor Anarchism is not left wing. People with the IQ of a goldfish who call themselves anarchists and don't understand what left wing means may be left wing. But real anarchists would have nothing to do with the left wing.
What I find interesting is that, on a world stage, US politics mostly fall in the center and to the right. Meaning, if you were to plop the Democratic party (our "left-wing" party) in any other country, they'd probably be viewed as a centrist party, while Republicans would be a right-wing party. Bernie Sanders and the more progressive members of the Dems (i.e. the Democratic Socialists) would be your typical center-left to left-wing party, on a global scale. Even more interesting, everyone outside the US flips the color scale. The left is red and the right is blue. Apparently, it was that way in the US until 2000 when the media decided to switch it up, and it's been that way since.
The US was founded on liberalism, with mainstream politics basically just being differences of opinions within the liberal tradition. There have been various socialist movements throughout US history, but they've always been fairly weak for various reasons.
I would say that the Democrats are generally center-right. Progressive faction in the Democratic Party is like center to center-left. (regarding economical issues)
I think my issue with this example is the left being associated with bigger government, which anarchists and left-libertarians definitely don’t fit yet is considered far-left. At the end of the day the left wishes to reduce hierarchy and the right wishes to enforce it.
Thanks for this . If only politics was explained this well all the time, we wouldn't feel so confused. I'm in my late 50's and it's taken all these years to try to understand politics, thanks to channels like yours we can all learn more .
This was awesome. With todays political climate throughout the world more people need to have this basic understanding. This video has definitely answered and raised more questions for me to dive in to, thank you.
You stated that the Right is generally for less taxes, smaller govt, less regulations, individual liberty, and more of a laissez faire approach to the economy, but then you stated that fascist and/or conservative theories are on the Right? Maybe you're not aware that fascism and conservatism have little to nothing in common. Fascism is anti-capitalist and prefers the govt dictate to private business and industry what their wages, rates, prices, and products will be or won't be. Fascism also believes in larger and more intrusive govt, with more regulations and less personal freedom. Fascism is very authoritarian, basically a dictatorship, where individualism is a no-no and collectivism is the only way of being, thinking or living allowed. You should study the history of Falangist Spain under Franco; Fascist Italy under Mussolini, and Fascist Argentina under Peron, and read Giovanni Gentile's books to better understand that fascism definitely has nothing in common with the Right. Cheers
All human problems are solved!! just study quran if you are sincere in searching. If we follow god and his last messenger based on quran and the saying of the prophet our social injustice issues will all be solved. try to prove this statement wrong if you can!! after prophet jesus was sent. the last revelation by god was quran and god said it will be protected from changes and it did not change not even a single letter based on authentic narrations of companions of the prophet who documented quran when prophet Mohammed was alive. even the words of the prophet muhammed are all documented with narrators we can clearly tell the living situation for each narrator and wether they were trust worthy. and god fearing in their actions. it is all well documented and can be easily checked with the science of hadith.
All this political talk the past couple years has gotten me more interested in learning about how all this works. I’ve never really been knowledgeable enough on all this stuff to have solid stance on either side but I’m slowly learning which policies and parties I agree with more personally
i'm Swedish, and i dont agree to what the Social Democrats have done to my country. I've been too young to vote until now. And finally I have a voice within hte political spectrum. With all the violence and shootings, I think that the migriation politics that we have had is far too leftist for our country. And that's why i'm voting for the "Sweden Democrats" The Right oriented party.
"...in a way that even a kid can understand." A stinging indictment if ever there was one! I could hardly have said it better! Nonsense fit only for children!
Left = blue and right = red is an Americanism, the USA switched them. The rest of the world uses left = red (think socialism, communism, UK Labour Party), right = blue (think conservatism, UK Conservative Party).
Interestingly, the colour blue globally is actually associated with centre right and liberalism (UK, Canada, South Africa etc) but the reason why the left and right are coloured as they are in the US is due to an interesting suspect. The media, you see prior to the 2000 U.S elections the colours weren't consistent and largely changed on a media to media basis, the reasons why since 2000 the colours have stayed so consistent is down to a multitude of reasons, but most notably TV network colour choices and media conventions, and thats why since the media and general public sort of grew accustomed to the colour choices, they decided to stick with it for electoral maps and the such.
Many disagreements in politics are simply caused by misunderstandings about what means what. I’m quite into politics and still get confused on what people see as left and right wing
Democrats are left wing for modern standards Real leftism like communism no longer exists as it is so far out of the realm of modern politics It’s just simpler to not even consider it. Same with fascism. It’s never coming back under any circumstances
@@TH-camUser-jb5zp What do you consider modern standards of leftism? The modern standard of leftism in the west is social democracy, which the democrats don't qualify as . The democrats are neoliberals, who are socially progressive and economically liberal. As for the fascism bit, I encourage you to take a look at right wing populism in Europe.
Democrats are leftists, look at politicians like Bernie Sanders and AOC they are very left-wing, support raising minimum wage to 15 hr, support welfare programs, wants to give us FREE healthcare and education, and raising taxes on the rich!!!
I do not know where I stand on this understanding of the political spectrum. I believe that all pollution, trash, waste, and sewage needs to be managed much better than it has been managed over the past 50 years. Health and Safety The USA needs to continue working on being a world leader regarding the management of pollution along with "Health & Safety". Some of the ways mentioned on all sides may work. It depends on what the specific details are. Thank you for sharing helpful and informative videos!
Yeah! All sides can be correct depending upon situations and perspectives but i think most people will disagree with the extreme sides to be true most of the times Btw I am a right centrist and i was a far leftist for a long time but soon realised being too woke in itself arises a lot of hypocrisy and since nobody can be completely centrist i see myself as a bit of conservative centrist which suits best according to me for my country politics
Fascism isn’t a right wing ideology It’s to the right of communism but considered to be on the left of American liberals or even the Democratic Party. Nationalism and hierarchy isn’t what defines an ideology as left or right It’s the measurement of how much government control (left) contrasted by individual liberty (right) That measurement works for the economy, culture, religion and anything people are willing to give the government control over everyone’s life
@@MKUltraVictim-sw5qs I understand that the labeling of left-right was first used in France during the French Revolution but the French used it to refer to the binary political factions at the time, the revolutionaries and the monarchists. France didn’t have centrists during the French Revolution Also America didn’t have a monarchist political party when the left right spectrum started being used to describe different political ideologies On the political compass the left right axis is used to measure government control over the economy with the extreme right being zero control over the economy and the extreme left is total government control over the economy. The political compass foolishly added the up-down axis to measure liberty and tyranny or freedom and authoritarianism in order to make people believe that it’s possible for a government to exercise total control and authority over their people’s Labor, wealth, private property and trade with other countries and still have individual liberty
I'm left leaning, but I'm not tied to any party. I'd vote for a Conservative if a Liberal candidate was shit. I'll be voting Conservative in Canada next election. Voted for Trudeau last time
Authoritarians: Communists and Fascists. Moderates:Liberals and Conservatives (Democrats and Republicans when referring to the US) Political movements in the US with communist or fascist tendencies: BLM, Antifa, Quanon, KKK, Black Panthers, and the Communist party of the US.
Fashism is leftist, to put it on the right is what the left has done to distance itself ... it is socialism ... the most perfect form as defined by its philosopher ... the one that created the ideology. his name was Giovanni Gentile, The original symbol of fascism in Italy under Benito Mussolini was the fasces. This is an ancient Imperial Roman symbol of power carried by lictors in front of magistrates; a bundle of sticks featuring an axe, indicating the power over life and death. and Fashism is a bundle of sticks to represent socialism ... oh and they were not nationalists.... Nationalism is an ideology that emphasizes loyalty, devotion, or allegiance to a nation or nation-state and holds that such obligations outweigh other individual or group interests.... . they where imperialist .... imperialism, state policy, practice, or advocacy of extending power and dominion, especially by direct territorial acquisition or by gaining political and economic control of other areas. Because it always involves the use of power, whether military or economic or some subtler form, imperialism has often been considered morally reprehensible, and the term is frequently employed in international propaganda to denounce and discredit an opponent’s foreign policy.
You make the same mistake that virtually everyone in the USA makes when describing the makeup of the modern political spectrum. You start off correctly with how this spectrum came into being in France during the French Revolution. But, then you go on to error in that you basically switch the two as pertains to modern society, in an oft used sleight of hand. The problem may arise due to the emotionality of politically charged terms, like "liberal," and "progressive" and "conservative" and "Democrat" and "Republican", which are almost always mis-applied in US politics. Therefore, it's best to use language that is more general when discussing politics to illustrate. The words centralization and decentralization are the most appropriate words to illustrate this accurately. Applying it to the seating arrangement in the French National Assembly during the French Revolution, those who supported the decentralization of public affairs (the Revolutionaries) sat on the left, and became known as "liberals." Those who supported the centralization inherent in the Monarchy, the monarchists (one of many forms of centralized governance), sat on the right. Therefore, it must always be true that decentralization, to differing degrees, makes up the left side of the political spectrum. Likewise, it must always be true that centralization, to differing degrees, makes up the right side of the political spectrum. Lest we're being manipulative (or manipulated) through the bastardization of politically-charged terms. Therefore, those in modern America who advocate for a smaller "decentralized" government, AKA libertarians and classical conservatives, naturally align with the decentralization of those revolutionaries sitting on the left side in the French National Assembly. While those in modern America who advocate for a larger more centralized government (to promote whatever nice-sounding egalitarian goals such a government can supposedly deliver, yet never does) are the progressives, AKA Democrats and Neo-Conservatives, that logically align with the Monarchists sitting on the right side of the French National Assembly, specifically due to their preference for centralization of power. Notice that progressives span both major US political parties. The problem is that Progressive Franklin Delano-Roosevelt high-jacked the term "liberal" from the libertarians and classical conservatives traditionally known as such, after the term progressive went out of fashion once Fascists in Europe praised progressivism in the USA as fascism's first successful test on a national stage via The New Deal effort. Progressives needed a re-branding, and FDR delivered by stealing the term "liberal" in his 1937 Chicago speech. From then on the actual "liberals" in the USA referred to themselves as "libertarians." Progressives, for a long time since that hijacking, were unwilling to give the liberal nomenclature back to the rightful US heirs of liberalism. That is until the word progressive started to become fashionable again over the past two decades or so, now that people no longer publicly remember its connections to its many fascist cousins in Europe. With this development, we authentic liberals (libertarians and classical conservatives) can now take back our liberal nomenclature. Therefore, as a Constitutional Conservative with libertarian leanings, I recognize that I am accurately placed on the far left of the political spectrum (I would have sat on the left side of the French National Assembly), while Progressives such as Joe Biden and George Bush (both) must be accurately understood to represent the far right of the political spectrum (they would have sat on the right side of the French National Assembly). Lest you accept FDR's innaccuracy and manipulation of terms in his re-branding effort. I personally do not, since I have a preference for accuracy. With that in mind, I am not making the case that US progressives support a Monarchy in the US (even with Joe Biden's recent utterance of "God save the Queen"). I'm simply making the case that Monarchism is one of many forms of centralized government for which liberals (like me) are against every last one of them. Whether we call those centralized efforts Communism, Solialism, Fascism, Statism, Monarchism, or what-have-you. While progressives drive for a form of centralized government that differs in structure to a monarchy. I mention this in anticipation of progressives responding that they do not support monarchy, as though that proclamation somehow discredits my analysis. Most Americans do not support the idea of having a Monarchic government, including most progressives. 99% of what you "taught" in this video is completely and totally false.
Only thing I felt you missed in was the Libertarians. You did say they can be placed on the left and right. But that's not exactly correct in modern America. Currently it's felt they're more right but that's not them shifting anything, that's due to the left basically abandoning civil rights and since the Libertarians do conservatism better than Republicans they get that label pushed. Reality is their actual a party of the best conservatives and social liberals. Doing both better than the other parties as both constantly violate their claims to be either. Neither will reduce spending and actually lower taxes if not remove them as they are unconstitutional. The Democrats have abandoned civil rights from privacy to free speech while ignoring constitutional obligations like the border and causing corruption filled war.
I’ve seen it presented both ways. I chose to do it this way so that it was consistent with Democrats, who are typically represented in blue and left-wing, and Republicans who are typically represented in red and right-wing.
Dr Strange ’CMR that would probably go too far into opinion. Which is what this guy doesn’t like to show. I have no clue what party he associates himself with and I appreciate that
How is it that fascism is lumped in with conservativism when it is associated with freedom, and individual liberty? The definitions of fascism directly relate to a 'dictatorial leader, centralized autocratic governments and forcible suppression of opposition' according to just a basic understanding in the dictionary. Both left and right ideologies can lead to 'suppression of the opposition'. Both can lead to a centralized government and do it in the 'interests of the nation.' Dictatatorial movements where the government dictates what the individuals can and cannot do is very present on both sides. This topic is so large doing it so fast motion is dangerous because it quickly makes the impression the left are not associated with fascism or dictators and the right are. Likewise it makes it sound like the right only wants the rich to get richer and the poor, poorer, when you look at Congress and see them repeatedly making rules for the rich on both sides (despite the campaign promises. The right, if anything is opposed to centralized big government and the left tends to push for more federal control over things. That part of the video just made no sense. But I love the concept. Perhaps he'll redo it.
So what is the unit of measurement? For example, if you put your classroom on a spectrum of height, they would be distributed according to an x axis placement according to inches or centimeters. If you did it by weight, the x axis would measure pounds or kilos. So what is the measurement unit you are using to place people on this political spectrum. If you can't define this, you don't know what you're talking about. What exactly does the axis measure? if you can't put this into one word, you're insane. You do see this don't you?
Be like water, because water can take and flow in all different spectrums, it does not stick too long, it constantly move and adopts the forms and shapes of change.
A spectrum goes from one extreme to the opposite one. Left is total tyrannical government and right is total anarchy with no government at all. All the isms exist somewhere in between depending on the balance between liberty and tyranny.
Thank god, a video that doesnt shove in religious shit and constant bias I keep trying to get a good explanation but all i find is “The ___ side is with the devil!”
If you absolutely had to point at one, yes. But the right wing still wants a government, however small. Anarchists want no government So they are not even on the axis.
the confusion is that people just assume government is the only power structure in society. Corporate power can be just imposing in lives of people if not more so you are more likely to interact with corporations than you are the government and right wingers will usually advocate to strengthen corporate power over others. Keep in mind a lot of the smalle government changes they want usually come from them attacking stuff like worker and labor rights. Anarchist advocate against that type of corporate power. The difference between the left and right is mostly their relationship with hierarchy. Left wing wants to flatten all forms of Hierarchy hence why Anarchist are the furthest to the left (since they want to live in a world with no hierarchy or no unjust hierarchy) while those on the right want to prop up and stratify hierarchy.
@@johnjacob9741 The only way in which the left wants to "flatten hierarchies" is creating just two classes of people. The rulers and all the other suckers. The right wants a dynamic hierarchy that people can climb through hard work and skill. Also anarchy is not to the left whatsoever, that's ridiculous. It's completely incompatible since anarchy is hyper individualistic whereas left means collectivism.
@Marcco I don't actually know who those politicians are mate as I am from the UK. My view is outside view of the two US parties, they are both of the right spectrum compared to other western nations.
my political ideology is i want to constantly create new nations by splintering the old ones up and absorbing each other like a sort of trotskyist view of separist movements, the revolution never ends right now i want to create an occitian nation in southern france and eastern spain and northern italy and i want their 2 party system to have a moralist party that is economically left and socially right vs bourgeois party centrist but antienvironmental
The left says corrupt billionares are the problem The right says corrupt politicians are the problem And I’m over her like “You do know that corrupt billionaires and corrupt politicians are the same… right? Y’all are literally agreeing with each other”

I'll give you a few ideas that will help you see how anti "laissez-faire" fascism was.
“If classical liberalism spells individualism,” Mussolini continued, “Fascism spells government.” - Mussolini
Fascist policies:
Mussolini:
8 hour work day
minimum wage
worker participation
management of industry had been given over to proletariat organizations
state secular education
progressive tax
confiscation of echlesiatical property and revenue.
Hitler:
Abolition of unearned income
confiscation of war profits
nationalization of corp
profit sharing in industrial enterprises
reconstruction of national public education so curriculum is brought in line with practical life
creation of a national press
prohibition and prosecution of newspapers who put out stories not conducive of national welfare.
More Evidence:
In his 1939 indictment of Nazism, Germany Rampant, Hambloch has an entire chapter on political parties under the German Empire before the First World War and political parties under the Weimar Republic. Hambloch lists parts of the “Left,” “Right” and “Centre” in the German Empire pre-1914, but there are no “Left,” “Right” or “Centre” parties in the Weimar Republic, but rather “Weimar Parties, i.e. those who supported the republican constitution,” “National Reactionary Parties” and “Revolutionary Parties.” The Nazis are listed, along with the Communist Party of Germany, as the two “Revolutionary Parties.” Pointedly, the Nazis were not considered a “National Reactionary Party.”
Clarification:
In 1930, Hitler tasked Hans Buchner to clarify what Nazi economic policies were. What did Buchner elect to call the economic policies of the Nazis? “State socialism.”
Socialist supported Hitler's rise to power:
Bernard Shaw and other Socialist supported Hitler. "While Parliaments get nowhere, Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin do things"
More Policies:
As the Nazis began to become a serious political party, in the 1930s, the Nazi deputies introduced a flurry of proposals:
1.To ban trading in stocks and bonds
2. To nationalize all large banks
3. To require registration of stock ownership with a state agency
4. To limit interest by law to five percent. (Bernie and Elizabeth Warren copied this)
5. To confiscate all profits acquired by inflation.
These measures were not hidden; they were trumpeted on the front pages of Nazi periodicals to ensure that party members knew what the Nazi Party in the Reichstag was doing. Some Nazi proposals sound eerily modern. The Nazis, for example, proposed that old age and disability benefits (Social Security) be paid out of general revenue, rather than from the contributions of the individual recipient, and that the benefits be indexed to the cost of living.

So yea I no longer believe in the saying the enemy of my enemy is my friend when they will kill you after the main enemy is dead.
Overall, I think the 2 major party system in the US has created so many problems today. It seems as if either side will do whatever it takes to keep as much of the power as possible. A couple recent examples of this is the Democratic Party pushing the Green Party off the ballot in a couple of the very important swing states, and the Republican Senate pushing for a new SCOTUS nomination before the election, despite not even voting on Obama’s nomination, Merrick Garland, back in 2016. Like George Washington believed, if there were no parties things could be much better. It would also encourage people to do more research to learn about candidates rather than always voting for left or right.

Just to correct something, the Right has never been considered Fascist until Google changed the definition. It was always Communism (Left) vs Capitalism (Right).
you are absolutely correct.Thats why i didnt feel right at the start.In india BJP is right but not facist
Well,Polish newspaper when Hitler become Chancellor called his government far-right, reactionary,and anti-social
It is political science which Create Modern definition of Left and Right
Depends on which version you use. The European horseshoe model has wings, with both eventually leading to totalitarianism, only real difference is which path is used to get there.
On the straight line model, extreme far right is anarchy (0% government / 100% individual rights and responsibilities, while the extreme far left is just the opposite (100% government / 0% individual rights and responsibilities)
The original Constitutional Republic of the US (20% / 80%) can not be placed on the horseshoe model, because it doesn't go low enough. The bottom of the horseshoe is democracy (50% / 50%) with both wings leading to more government power. This is a HUGE reason that the media constantly calls America a democracy- because it limits individual rights and responsibilities while advocating for more government control.
This youtuber just made him self look like a complete idiot
@@KainRocks777 you got it brother, you explained it better then this dummy on youtube
The thing is, this is the AMERICAN perspective. In Europe the Right is not so much about individual freedoms - if at all - and more about conservative, religious, traditionalist values. I stick to the European understanding.
Also let us remember that Right and Left are historically quite dynamic. Especially Left, which went from radical Social Liberalism of the French Revolution to complete totalitarian Communism a century later. Moderate Liberalism would be the Center (with variation of Center-Left or Center-Right), whereas Fascism and Nazism would be Left-Right Extreme (not simply Left or Right), the opposite of Center.
My personal theory is the far left are people with daddy issues and the far right are people with mommy issues.🤣🤣
Thank you so much for these videos that only state FACTS and not opinions. 🖤🖤🖤
Thanks for watching! :)
I love your channel and how unbiased you are. I was scared to search information about these political/economic philosophy’s at first because I thought people were going to sort of explain it in terms of their beliefs. But you do a very good job at giving a remarkably unbiased general view on each side you talk about (I like the historical context that you provide as well)
I'm glad you enjoyed it and found this channel!
I am a right centrist and i was a far leftist for a long time but soon realised being too woke in itself arises a lot of hypocrisy and since nobody can be completely centrist i see myself as a bit of conservative centrist which suits best according to me for my country politics
Funny how Fascism is on the right side of the political spectrum. According to the drawings, Fascism primes for individual liberty, laissez- faire, freedom of speech, government plays a small part. Makes perfect sense.
Very well explained and illustrated, making it easy for anyone like myself at 70 yrs of age to follow..
The right and the left are MAKING it much more black and white today. The divisiveness is horrible and tearing this country apart and each side just blames the other.
Even if you are a moderate (right leaning), you still don't see the false equivalence of saying the left is as responsible for strife as the right is in this country. Who's passing laws restricting people's rights? Who's got armed militias roaming the streets? Who's the side that has growing skepticism in democracy? I'll give you a hint it isn't the left. And even if you don't have a personal problem with gay people your party largely does. Your party is increasingly being influenced by it's worst parts and you're ok with that. People like you enable this behavior by not calling it out and by continuing to normalize and vote for these kooks. You're cool with your gay boss but you'd probably be fine if your boss was a homophobe too.
And here I believed the shrink telling me I had a split personality disorder.
I'd say I am a bit to the right of center.

@@IllustratetoEducate that video was wrong. If your talking about a political spectrum in a linear fashion then this video was very misleading. Do your self a favor and actually read up on the what and how fascism is and started before you put that on the right and read it on a book, not on google. Its a similar construct as socialism. From left to right
8 monarch 7 dictatorship 6 fascist/communism/socialist 5 oligarchs 4 democratization 3 centralist 2 republic 1 libertarian. 0 anarchists. The far left equals 100% government 0% individual to then far right 90% individualism 10% government. Far right equals smaller government and far left is bigger government like communism when they want to control the means of production and have a all equal society, meaning your not rich but equally poor as everyone around you.

@@sonysoldier9587 How is it true.
@@therainbowconnection6813 Anarchists always align themselves with socialists/communists. In the Spanish civil war, the Anarchists were lefties.
What I find interesting is that, on a world stage, US politics mostly fall in the center and to the right. Meaning, if you were to plop the Democratic party (our "left-wing" party) in any other country, they'd probably be viewed as a centrist party, while Republicans would be a right-wing party. Bernie Sanders and the more progressive members of the Dems (i.e. the Democratic Socialists) would be your typical center-left to left-wing party, on a global scale.
Even more interesting, everyone outside the US flips the color scale. The left is red and the right is blue. Apparently, it was that way in the US until 2000 when the media decided to switch it up, and it's been that way since.
The US was founded on liberalism, with mainstream politics basically just being differences of opinions within the liberal tradition. There have been various socialist movements throughout US history, but they've always been fairly weak for various reasons.
I would say that the Democrats are generally center-right. Progressive faction in the Democratic Party is like center to center-left. (regarding economical issues)
i wish we could dissolve these political sides and make decisions as one collective group of people. George washington really predicted our future
I think my issue with this example is the left being associated with bigger government, which anarchists and left-libertarians definitely don’t fit yet is considered far-left. At the end of the day the left wishes to reduce hierarchy and the right wishes to enforce it.
Thanks for this . If only politics was explained this well all the time, we wouldn't feel so confused. I'm in my late 50's and it's taken all these years to try to understand politics, thanks to channels like yours we can all learn more .

You stated that the Right is generally for less taxes, smaller govt, less regulations, individual liberty, and more of a laissez faire approach to the economy, but then you stated that fascist and/or conservative theories are on the Right? Maybe you're not aware that fascism and conservatism have little to nothing in common. Fascism is anti-capitalist and prefers the govt dictate to private business and industry what their wages, rates, prices, and products will be or won't be. Fascism also believes in larger and more intrusive govt, with more regulations and less personal freedom. Fascism is very authoritarian, basically a dictatorship, where individualism is a no-no and collectivism is the only way of being, thinking or living allowed. You should study the history of Falangist Spain under Franco; Fascist Italy under Mussolini, and Fascist Argentina under Peron, and read Giovanni Gentile's books to better understand that fascism definitely has nothing in common with the Right. Cheers
Thank you very much! This helps me understand the political parties and spectrum much better!

"...in a way that even a kid can understand." A stinging indictment if ever there was one! I could hardly have said it better! Nonsense fit only for children!
Left = blue and right = red is an Americanism, the USA switched them. The rest of the world uses left = red (think socialism, communism, UK Labour Party), right = blue (think conservatism, UK Conservative Party).
So red is conservative and blue is liberal?
Why is left blue? I feel like it should be red for communism yk? And conservatism just feels blue I can’t explain it.
Interestingly, the colour blue globally is actually associated with centre right and liberalism (UK, Canada, South Africa etc) but the reason why the left and right are coloured as they are in the US is due to an interesting suspect. The media, you see prior to the 2000 U.S elections the colours weren't consistent and largely changed on a media to media basis, the reasons why since 2000 the colours have stayed so consistent is down to a multitude of reasons, but most notably TV network colour choices and media conventions, and thats why since the media and general public sort of grew accustomed to the colour choices, they decided to stick with it for electoral maps and the such.
This was SO extremely helpful. Thank you!
Many disagreements in politics are simply caused by misunderstandings about what means what.

The Left makes policy by feeling……The Right makes policy by facts.
Fascism isn’t a right wing ideology
It’s to the right of communism but considered to be on the left of American liberals or even the Democratic Party.
Nationalism and hierarchy isn’t what defines an ideology as left or right
It’s the measurement of how much government control (left) contrasted by individual liberty (right)
That measurement works for the economy, culture, religion and anything people are willing to give the government control over everyone’s life
Nope, you couldn't be more wrong.
@@MKUltraVictim-sw5qs
So what is it that the left-right spectrum is measuring to determine the position of a political ideology on this spectrum?
@@MKUltraVictim-sw5qs
I understand that the labeling of left-right was first used in France during the French Revolution but the French used it to refer to the binary political factions at the time, the revolutionaries and the monarchists. France didn’t have centrists during the French Revolution
Also America didn’t have a monarchist political party when the left right spectrum started being used to describe different political ideologies
On the political compass the left right axis is used to measure government control over the economy with the extreme right being zero control over the economy and the extreme left is total government control over the economy. The political compass foolishly added the up-down axis to measure liberty and tyranny or freedom and authoritarianism in order to make people believe that it’s possible for a government to exercise total control and authority over their people’s Labor, wealth, private property and trade with other countries and still have individual liberty
Fascism is sooooo right wing lmao
Fascism is politically far right and economically center while being authoritarian…
I'm left leaning, but I'm not tied to any party. I'd vote for a Conservative if a Liberal candidate was shit. I'll be voting Conservative in Canada next election. Voted for Trudeau last time

Moderate conservative here but I would see political parties flushed down the drain.
Washington never wanted them
You might not like them, but political parties are an inevitability in democracies.
Authoritarians: Communists and Fascists.
Moderates:Liberals and Conservatives (Democrats and Republicans when referring to the US)
Political movements in the US with communist or fascist tendencies: BLM, Antifa, Quanon, KKK, Black Panthers, and the Communist party of the US.
Fashism is leftist, to put it on the right is what the left has done to distance itself ... it is socialism ... the most perfect form as defined by its philosopher ... the one that created the ideology. his name was Giovanni Gentile, The original symbol of fascism in Italy under Benito Mussolini was the fasces. This is an ancient Imperial Roman symbol of power carried by lictors in front of magistrates; a bundle of sticks featuring an axe, indicating the power over life and death. and Fashism is a bundle of sticks to represent socialism ... oh and they were not nationalists.... Nationalism is an ideology that emphasizes loyalty, devotion, or allegiance to a nation or nation-state and holds that such obligations outweigh other individual or group interests.... . they where imperialist .... imperialism, state policy, practice, or advocacy of extending power and dominion, especially by direct territorial acquisition or by gaining political and economic control of other areas. Because it always involves the use of power, whether military or economic or some subtler form, imperialism has often been considered morally reprehensible, and the term is frequently employed in international propaganda to denounce and discredit an opponent’s foreign policy.
Absolutely loved it! The best video out there on the topic.
Thank you!
😁Personally for me. I usually don't fit anywhere on the political spectrum. So I pretty much self-identify as "none".
You make the same mistake that virtually everyone in the USA makes when describing the makeup of the modern political spectrum. You start off correctly with how this spectrum came into being in France during the French Revolution. But, then you go on to error in that you basically switch the two as pertains to modern society, in an oft used sleight of hand.
The problem may arise due to the emotionality of politically charged terms, like "liberal," and "progressive" and "conservative" and "Democrat" and "Republican", which are almost always mis-applied in US politics. Therefore, it's best to use language that is more general when discussing politics to illustrate.
The words centralization and decentralization are the most appropriate words to illustrate this accurately. Applying it to the seating arrangement in the French National Assembly during the French Revolution, those who supported the decentralization of public affairs (the Revolutionaries) sat on the left, and became known as "liberals." Those who supported the centralization inherent in the Monarchy, the monarchists (one of many forms of centralized governance), sat on the right. Therefore, it must always be true that decentralization, to differing degrees, makes up the left side of the political spectrum. Likewise, it must always be true that centralization, to differing degrees, makes up the right side of the political spectrum. Lest we're being manipulative (or manipulated) through the bastardization of politically-charged terms.
Therefore, those in modern America who advocate for a smaller "decentralized" government, AKA libertarians and classical conservatives, naturally align with the decentralization of those revolutionaries sitting on the left side in the French National Assembly. While those in modern America who advocate for a larger more centralized government (to promote whatever nice-sounding egalitarian goals such a government can supposedly deliver, yet never does) are the progressives, AKA Democrats and Neo-Conservatives, that logically align with the Monarchists sitting on the right side of the French National Assembly, specifically due to their preference for centralization of power. Notice that progressives span both major US political parties.
The problem is that Progressive Franklin Delano-Roosevelt high-jacked the term "liberal" from the libertarians and classical conservatives traditionally known as such, after the term progressive went out of fashion once Fascists in Europe praised progressivism in the USA as fascism's first successful test on a national stage via The New Deal effort. Progressives needed a re-branding, and FDR delivered by stealing the term "liberal" in his 1937 Chicago speech.
From then on the actual "liberals" in the USA referred to themselves as "libertarians." Progressives, for a long time since that hijacking, were unwilling to give the liberal nomenclature back to the rightful US heirs of liberalism. That is until the word progressive started to become fashionable again over the past two decades or so, now that people no longer publicly remember its connections to its many fascist cousins in Europe. With this development, we authentic liberals (libertarians and classical conservatives) can now take back our liberal nomenclature.
Therefore, as a Constitutional Conservative with libertarian leanings, I recognize that I am accurately placed on the far left of the political spectrum (I would have sat on the left side of the French National Assembly), while Progressives such as Joe Biden and George Bush (both) must be accurately understood to represent the far right of the political spectrum (they would have sat on the right side of the French National Assembly). Lest you accept FDR's innaccuracy and manipulation of terms in his re-branding effort. I personally do not, since I have a preference for accuracy.
With that in mind, I am not making the case that US progressives support a Monarchy in the US (even with Joe Biden's recent utterance of "God save the Queen"). I'm simply making the case that Monarchism is one of many forms of centralized government for which liberals (like me) are against every last one of them. Whether we call those centralized efforts Communism, Solialism, Fascism, Statism, Monarchism, or what-have-you. While progressives drive for a form of centralized government that differs in structure to a monarchy. I mention this in anticipation of progressives responding that they do not support monarchy, as though that proclamation somehow discredits my analysis. Most Americans do not support the idea of having a Monarchic government, including most progressives.
99% of what you "taught" in this video is completely and totally false.
What’s this? A well made, educated, informed, objective and unbiased explanation?
Well this is most unusual….
I am right in the middle. Also, if we're going by D&D standards, I am a Chaotic Nutural.
Fascism doesn't belong on the right horizontal axis. It should be at the top of the Authoritarian vertical axis.
Who do you support ?
I support the right btw :)
Only thing I felt you missed in was the Libertarians. You did say they can be placed on the left and right. But that's not exactly correct in modern America.
Currently it's felt they're more right but that's not them shifting anything, that's due to the left basically abandoning civil rights and since the Libertarians do conservatism better than Republicans they get that label pushed. Reality is their actual a party of the best conservatives and social liberals. Doing both better than the other parties as both constantly violate their claims to be either. Neither will reduce spending and actually lower taxes if not remove them as they are unconstitutional. The Democrats have abandoned civil rights from privacy to free speech while ignoring constitutional obligations like the border and causing corruption filled war.
You switched the colors: Left is red, Right is blue.
I’ve seen it presented both ways. I chose to do it this way so that it was consistent with Democrats, who are typically represented in blue and left-wing, and Republicans who are typically represented in red and right-wing.

How is it that fascism is lumped in with conservativism when it is associated with freedom, and individual liberty? The definitions of fascism directly relate to a 'dictatorial leader, centralized autocratic governments and forcible suppression of opposition' according to just a basic understanding in the dictionary. Both left and right ideologies can lead to 'suppression of the opposition'. Both can lead to a centralized government and do it in the 'interests of the nation.' Dictatatorial movements where the government dictates what the individuals can and cannot do is very present on both sides.
This topic is so large doing it so fast motion is dangerous because it quickly makes the impression the left are not associated with fascism or dictators and the right are. Likewise it makes it sound like the right only wants the rich to get richer and the poor, poorer, when you look at Congress and see them repeatedly making rules for the rich on both sides (despite the campaign promises. The right, if anything is opposed to centralized big government and the left tends to push for more federal control over things.
That part of the video just made no sense. But I love the concept. Perhaps he'll redo it.
So what is the unit of measurement? For example, if you put your classroom on a spectrum of height, they would be distributed according to an x axis placement according to inches or centimeters. If you did it by weight, the x axis would measure pounds or kilos. So what is the measurement unit you are using to place people on this political spectrum. If you can't define this, you don't know what you're talking about. What exactly does the axis measure? if you can't put this into one word, you're insane. You do see this don't you?
Right!
I am a libertarian left, I guess now
@Stop being mean to the Ppl who got Healthcare what does that have to do with libertarians ?
yes
the original left
there was ever any logical reason to change that definition
Always thought the left meant more 'freedom' as the right is conservative (meaning more rules/governance). 2nd axis definitely makes sense
One of the simplest explanations I've seen. I actually get it! The visuals help a LOT
I’m happy to hear that!! :)
When I saw this is a REAL hand and board not some animation I liked the video GOOD STUFF>
Cool subject
I have never heard anyone call Fascism pro-freedom, but other than that...
Nice I like the video you should make another one based on the Overton window
Interesting. I’ll have to look into that. :)
There is no left and right. There is just up and down. Always has been.

Just a distant distant relative. I wish...
Be like water, because water can take and flow in all different spectrums, it does not stick too long, it constantly move and adopts the forms and shapes of change.
But Fascism is for a big government, state economy and against individualism.
So what if i agree with social equality, individual freedom and no government? am i rift? Or maybe legt...
A spectrum goes from one extreme to the opposite one. Left is total tyrannical government and right is total anarchy with no government at all. All the isms exist somewhere in between depending on the balance between liberty and tyranny.
Thank god, a video that doesnt shove in religious shit and constant bias
I keep trying to get a good explanation but all i find is “The ___ side is with the devil!”
So if the right represents less government, Anarchism is far right. Does that sound right?
Anarchy is NEVER associated with the right wing
If you absolutely had to point at one, yes. But the right wing still wants a government, however small. Anarchists want no government So they are not even on the axis.
the confusion is that people just assume government is the only power structure in society. Corporate power can be just imposing in lives of people if not more so you are more likely to interact with corporations than you are the government and right wingers will usually advocate to strengthen corporate power over others. Keep in mind a lot of the smalle government changes they want usually come from them attacking stuff like worker and labor rights. Anarchist advocate against that type of corporate power. The difference between the left and right is mostly their relationship with hierarchy. Left wing wants to flatten all forms of Hierarchy hence why Anarchist are the furthest to the left (since they want to live in a world with no hierarchy or no unjust hierarchy) while those on the right want to prop up and stratify hierarchy.
@@johnjacob9741 The only way in which the left wants to "flatten hierarchies" is creating just two classes of people. The rulers and all the other suckers. The right wants a dynamic hierarchy that people can climb through hard work and skill.
Also anarchy is not to the left whatsoever, that's ridiculous. It's completely incompatible since anarchy is hyper individualistic whereas left means collectivism.
