    In my opinion yes, but you’re free to have your own definitions for left and right since historians and economists alike disagree on their definitions too.

    My definitions are basically, leftistism is collective control of the means of production. Rightism is individual control. The left is therefore a much more broas category as collective control can take a ton of different forms.

          So you are actually equating a central authority with political left! That is very interesting to see how far the liberal propaganda went to brainwash people.

            I’m equating central planning with leftism yes. Because no one denies a free market is right-wing, so leftism must contradict that.

                Thanks for the explanation 👍

                I like to think I have a bit of political knowledge seeing as I have watched hours of C-SPAN testimonies from the 90s, but I must just be at the peak of Dunning-Kruger
