That is true, they have been painted as right wing, to strike fear into the masses when describing any form anti social behaviour be it left or right.
If it is anti social lefts paint it as the hippy flower power style, if it is right and anti social paint it as Nazism, easier to bend public opinion with positive reinforcement.
Anti social and destructive behaviour should all be painted with the same brush, normal law abiding citizens who usually make up the majority, shouldn't be influenced to believe bad behaviour is acceptable if the media decide it is a honourable cause.
It is the law abiding taxpayer, who has to foot the bill in the end. :2twocents
 
Yeah the Nazis were infiltrated by ANITFA :oops:.

The 1st thing the Nazis did was shoot trade unionists, Liberal party leant from that eh.

I think you could justifiably paint China at the moment as a Right Wing autocracy.

Xi has institutionalised his power, demanded absolute loyalty to himself , and pronounced himself Premier for life.

But anyway, Left and Right blend together at the extremes and it's difficult to tell which is which.

However I suggest that Right Wing autocracies depend on the authority of one person, whether it be Lenin, Hitler , Xi or other despots, and once they depart unless another strong personality takes over, the authority is weakened.

Communists generally kill off all teachers, doctors etc.
Trade union was one of the reasons for communism being torn down in Poland maybe East Germany?
I can't remember the specifics now beyond it being "solidarity". So opposites do play out.

It's actually authoritarians left/right vs liberal left/right.

I always enjoyed the layout of leftvright answers on here:

What is the difference between authoritarian and libertarian/Left and Right?

Answer (1 of 9): Left and right have no meaning, or, more accurately, they have had so many meanings over time that it’s impossible to know what any given writer means when he employs the terms. However, in the original left-right metaphor dating back to the French National Assembly in the late ...

I guess, as has been mentioned by several here many times,the above commentary is demonstrating that the left right paradigm is really not valid and not very helpful.

Maybe the spectrum is now along the lines of totalitarianism vs Liberty.... And what I find alarming is that we are going at full speed along the spectrum of totalitarianism in our country and across the West.

Although I am not a full-on libertarian, I really do think that we need to fight to drag our politics back towards that end.

ETA @moXJO Snap!
 
Whether a group is painted as left or right these days, is completely up to the discretion of the media.
If a group of people ransack a city centre in the name of global warming, it is just frustrated people who are sick of no progress, if the same group of people did exactly the same stunt the following week, against mandatory vaccinations, they would be right wing loonies.
Both are just people using a cause to justify criminal bahaviour, that the general phblic has to pick up the tab for.

You’ll find all but a few dictatorships are leftists!

The term nazi has no concept any more! As it’s used on any one who disagrees with the left!

there are 3 forms of leftists, evil ignorant and straight stupid! They have ruined comedy and become the comedy them self! The left have become a meme

priceless crap like this at a cost of 2.5 million euros come up with junk like this to ward off fake immigrants from raping females ?

Well it wouldn't be politics if the lefties and righties took offence at everything each other said and resorted to name calling.

There is even a special place in hell for centrists, according to both the left and the right (which iI now no longer know what the **** means)

Kind of ends up that you get called both a commie and a fascist :D
