Left/Right political Paradigm
The left/right paradigm is a false paradigm. The true paradigm is those of us that believe in freedom and those that do not. If we start using this as the paradigm we would cordon them off and their authoritarian ideology would not only be exposing them but in the eyes of many they would have to explain their authoritarian/human ownership ideology.
If we look at outcomes for the citizens their are NO DIFFERENCES in the outcomes for us. We are controlled, lorded over, enslaved to government. Both commit mass murder, imprison opposition and spy on citizens.
As we see in this chart the using the Deka murderers classification “right wingers” Hitler murdered around 21 million Chaing Kai - shek around 11 million. The “left wingers” Stalin 50 million, Mao over 77 million. Right wingers 32 million left 98 million. So the left murders at 3x’s the rate. The right wingers are pikers compared to the left. The question is why do we let the leftist media and politicians get away with gaslighting us as to only the right is a problem?
Throughout history governments and people are either moving towards freedom or towards authoritarianism. Their is no long term stagnation. The founding of the USA and our Constitution is the one instance of moving towards freedom Since then though we have again moved towards authoritarianism, at this time we are moving towards authoritarianism at warp speed and will be under an authoritarian regime in less than 4 years unless something drastic takes place with the American people.
On the left we have people like Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Kim Jung il

Of course wikipedia does not list leftist by name since its a leftist outfit. As we look around the left is never considered and problem by our media handlers.
On the right we have Hitler, Mussolini, Francisco Franco, the crazies in Iran, Saddam Hussein, Ferdinand Marcos, Chand Kia Shek, Augusto Pinochet and others.
Here is a somewhat complete list.

Below is a pretty good study on left vs right.
https://news.emory.edu/stories/2021/09/esc_left_wing_authoritarians_psychology/campus.html
We took the long history of research into right-wing authoritarianism and used insights from that to develop a conceptional framework and measures to test for authoritarianism in the political left,” says Thomas Costello, an Emory PhD student of psychology and first author of the study. “We found that in terms of their psychological characteristics and their actual behaviors, left-wing authoritarians are extremely similar to authoritarians on the right.”
Right-wing authoritarians tend to aggressively back the established hierarchy, while left-wing authoritarians tend to aggressively oppose it. They are almost like mirror images of one another that both share a common psychological core, the researchers conclude.
“Authoritarians have a predisposition for liking sameness and opposing differences among people in their environment,” Costello says. “They are submissive to people they perceive as authority figures, they are dominant and aggressive towards people they disagree with, and they are careful to obey what they consider the norms for their respective groups.”
At its core, authoritarianism is likely about power, Costello adds.
“It’s a mistake to think of authoritarianism as a right-wing concept, as some researchers have in the past,” he says. “We found that ideology becomes secondary. Psychologically speaking, you’re an authoritarian first, and an ideologue only as it serves the power structure that you support.”
Another key finding is that authoritarianism from both ends of the spectrum is predictive of personal involvement in political violence. While left-wing authoritarianism predicts for political violence against the system in power, right-wing authoritarianism predicts for political violence in support of the system in power.
Left vs Right differences?
Their are no real differences between left and right. They both murder, they both enslave and take out their opposition. If anything you are safer under a right wing authoritarian than a left wing authoritarian. 3x’s safer.
Lets be honest with ourselves - under either system its a living hell -IF you are allowed to live.
Far left, far right, left , right, fascists, Marxists, socialist, neo con, neo Nazi, liberal, progressive, black and white supremacists are ALL merely schisms of authoritarianism. Its a circle of death and destruction. They meet and hold hands in a brotherhood of death and destruction. They may go about it differently, they may have different ideologies but their ultimate goal is the same for humanity, control, death and suppression of humanity and ultimately death.
We will continue to careen towards authoritarianism if we continue to use the authoritarians words to describe ourselves and our ideology.
We are never going to change our owners minds - HOWEVER if we use this thought process when talking to friends, family, acquaintances and do so in a logical calm manner even the most supportive of them will have a light bulb go off and see a light. It may be faint as they have had decades of being propagandized but it will flicker.
Through out history their is no stagnation at a level of well this is far enough. We always move towards authoritarianism. Authoritarians know how well fear works to motivate people to accept and even call for authoritarianism. Fear - fear is the driver of the vehicle of authoritarianism. We are watching it happen constantly, we just do not recognize it. Covid and the absolutely authoritarian lock downs and requirements. The fear of another race, the fear of another human, politician. Fear of the rich, fear of the poor, fear of disease - covid, bird flu even things like chicken pox. We must stop taking the bait, we must start using our intellect and ask qui bono? ( Who benefits ) . We need to be calm, factual and logical to fight these forces. Logical does not mean just state facts. We have to use proper terms to describe what our owners are doing. Licensing = permission slips, mandate = order. Their are words that have the same meaning but evoke a different response. Government = your owners.
In no way do I advocate violence, that is what authoritarians and their supporters advocate. Their is NOTHING they want that does not require an act of violence. You either comply or they will send someone to “convince” you to comply. They will bring guns and overwhelming force, if the threat does not work then the guns and or the overwhelming for will be used on you.
I have found not using their paradigm, their premises and using the above techniques disarms the purveyors of these authoritarian ideologies, with what I consider great success. Virtually nobody supports violence, permission slips, human ownership or orders. We are taught from a young age these are wrong, yet through propaganda and “for the greater good’ we have accepted the authoritarians ways. Its time to just stop, make them supporters of authoritarianism own it, wear it. They won’t as its a scarlet letter.
