Please compare any of these 8 of these: Japan, Germany, France, Italy, UK, Russia, Spain, South Korea OR any two of these 4 countries: China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan in terms of which is more on the right & which on the left and explain your conclusion.
No two countries have the same tax burden or income inequality, some are more centralised, some have more redistribution, more state involvement in schools/doctors/the disabled, etc - people's vlaues & viewpoints vary, some are more religious, some are more suspicious & laissez-faire, others more caring/assisting, others more independent, some are more multiethnic, others more willing to do things communally. Freedom & prosperity mean different things to lefties & righties. Some think all are best served by a ruling elite, others want empowerment of the working classes. So all in all, which countries would you say better fit which descriptions?
I have left out the US & Nordic states because I think their comparison is obvious.
