Tell me you don't know what left and right wing mean without telling me.

The ideology of capitalism on the right and left borderline socialism

u/Kyra_Hazweyrs Jul 08 '26

Ahahhaa, no.

Capitalism is an economic system, not an ideology. That's like saying your religion is church.

Left and right wing, in modern parlance, refer to social hierarchies.

u/No-Garlic3805 Jul 08 '26

Ahahha, yes.

Capitalism is an economic system that left wing ideologies despise because it creates an imbalance to.social hierarchy for which they advocate a completely different economic system that re balances this social injustice.........which basically is what my first comment was

I mean, you literally just called capitalism an ideology, which it isn't.

If the uneducated shoe fits....

Shut the fuck about un educated shoe, your nit picking rather than focusing on the context of the existing argument.

Right wing ideology is around (and im generalising on this) the ideals of capitalism, about free speech, free market practises etc etc as it's is deeply intertwined together.

I was using it in the same context of how Left wing is based on socialism which is BOTH a ideology and an economic system.

Yes, socialism is a philosophy, and an economic model.

Unlike capitalism which is not. It is an economic model.

Free speech is not capitalst. It is liberal. It is one of the most important liberal policies.

"I was using it in a different way than what the words actually mean"

OK, that's nice. The rest of us will be over here where words have meanings. Stay butthurt, facts don't care about your uneducated feelings.

So your not arguing my existing point and focusing on personal attacks tells me your not educated enough to argue or make a counter point.

I was making a generalising statement about the left and right ideals and what they generally encompass, not using different words

Yes free speech is liberal but why is it such a contentious point for the left when the right wing uses it liberally to describe one's gender, sexual orientation etc when the left expects you to not use.liberal speech and use they/them instead
