Can someone give me a really simple explanation for what "left wing" and "right wing" mean? I just don't get it.
sjw - left wing - center - right wing - /pol/

Generally means
High taxes, high public spending, big government ---- Low taxes, low public spending, small government

How much power/freedom the state has. Left is less, right is more.
feels - logic

unless britbongistan has a completely different meaning for those terms, you've got it backwards.
Left wing - The idea that hierarchy should be avoided and equality should be strived for.
The people run the show and egalitarianism is the game. The party of the common man.
Right wing - hierarchy is anything from natural to preferable
Kings, queens and aristocrats rule the show.
It's a very basic breakdown but that's the idea behind the distinction.
Originates from left and right wing of French Parliament when it was commoners on the left and aristocrats on the right.

Economic Right is free market (Capitalism)
Economic Left is controlled market (Communism)
Left wing politics and Right wing politics however are both totalitarian the Left is just SJW progressive ther Right is just conservative.

Gah, so I have!

Small government. Except an enormous army and involvement in a woman's decision on whether to abort a fetus.

From what I understand, the Right/Left dichotomy is economic. Leftists prefer public ownership; Rightists prefer private ownership.
There are political stances that associated with both, but I'm pretty certain they're widely regarded as strictly economic.
left wing= the government can and should solve this problem
right wing= I can solve this problem
it is just the choice between individualism and collectivism

Faggots, rich pussies and shit skins are left wing
Rich people, rednecks, and normal people are right wing.

Best post in the thread.

Everyone is wrong so far. If I agree with everything an SJW says, but I oppose immigration, I am now far-right.
Right=nationalist, left=internationalist. This is the only constant in the usage, across countries.

/pol/ isn't very right wing at all save for the few traditional Catholics and Orthodox Monarchists that are here. There's nothing right wing about atheist degeneracy. Being racist doesn't make you right wing.

What a stupid post. Are the Catalan nationalists right wing? Scottish nationalists? Are lefties who support Palestine or Tibet right wing? Nationalism started as a leftist movement against the crown and only seems right wing now because muh Overton shift. Is a gay atheist degenerate who fears Islam because muh religious oppression right wing?
This kind of logic is why the alt-right is fucking cancer.

Left wing = wealth equality/ redistribution
Politicians like Hugo Chavez, Stalin, Ernst Rohm, Strasser bros, Kim Jong Un
They try to fight big banks and make sure the working class is not mistreated by them.
Right Wing = Social Hierarchy and classists
Victorian/ Edwardian Britain, Rothschilds, Margaret Thatcher, King Louis XIV
Your social class is the most important.

Left wing and right wing derives from the french revolution.
Those who wanted freedums and progress were on the left side and those who were loyal to the king and wanted to stay in the dark age feudal system were in the right side...
> b-but the real political divide is between those who believe in science and progress and the statist peeps who want things to remain the same or go back to some mythical golden age which never existed..
>um yeah

>left wing tries to fight the banks
You're kidding right? Who was it that gave banks billions of dollars so their CEO'S wouldn't have to miss their quarterly multimillion dollar bonuses?
That's right, it was your left wing president.

Hint: just calling yourself left wing doesn't make you left wing
>>79836289
those are words used by the cancerous side of politics to win followers
>>79843867
Hint: If all the left wing people voted for him, he is the representative of the left.

Except now you have lefties embracing globalism and centralised control. Defending the EU and calling for open borders which will widen economic inequality and the make the rich richer and poor poorer. They've done a 180.

Barack Obama is right wing. He panders to BLM and pretends to care about their retardation to distract from that. Look up the people I mentioned. Those are actual left wingers.
>>79836830
yep
and supporting free Internet, anonymity and 4chan is INHERENTLY LEFT WING.
a real right winger would oppose the fact that this site exists because it's based on cancerous egalitarianism.
the Internet should be restricted. There's nothing right wing about " muh Free speech online"
The fact that /pol/ and 4chan hate Theresa May is proof that it's all lefties.
Here you have a potential PM who will actually cut degeneracy it its root by banning porn and censoring the Internet (including filthy sites like this one) but /pol/ is bitching about it because they're all just closet degenerates, even the ones who claim to be moral or traditional.
Want to test if someone is really right wing? Ask them if they support Internet censorship.
If they don't they're leftie degenerates
