Question

Where on the Political Spectrum (Left-Wing, Centre, or Right WIng) would the following terms be:

1. Fascism
2. Dictatorship
3. Totalitarianism
4. Democracy
5. Socialism
6. Monarchy
7. Military Junta
8. Theocracy
9. Communism

Answer 1

Only two are left wing Ideals and that would be Democracy and Socialism. Many who are conservative in the sense that they want as little government interference as possible, still believe in Democracy to accomplish those goals, but are not as favored of it as the left wing so would be more centrist in that sense.

Dictatorship, Fascism, and Military Junta, are often pretty much the same thing and are almost always right wing, Sometimes called Kleptocracies, they concentrate money and power into their hands but don't involve themselves with their people beyond that.
Monarchies all used to be this way but many Democracies have
managed to keep a monarch, as a mostly ceremonial leader.

Communism, and Theocracy are both forms of Totalitarianism that are both Dictatorial and insist that everyone believe and act as they require as well. Some Fascist Governments like Nazis have been like this as well. Also some historical Monarchies have been a lot like theocracies and quite totalitarian.

There are some Communists that are democratic, and are basically just extreme socialists, but no famous Communist Countries like Russia, Cuba, or China fit this.

Essentially any activity that takes more than one person requires some sort of organization, a leader of some sort, shakers who have influence, actors who do all of the work, and stakeholders that are affected by the results. Some folks are several of those things, some just one.

The real question is that in each activity (or enterprise) can the stakeholders hold everyone else accountable to do their part and treat everyone honestly.

In the most left wing case there is a lot of accountability, mostly from the bottom up. Those with power have the accountability of those below them, making the top accountable down is the problem.

In the most right wing case all the accountability is the top people holding the bottom folk accountable, but no one holds them accountable.

Some Socialists think that the only way to hold people accountable is to put all Monopoly enterprises in the hands of the Government, and while this sometimes works, as in much of Europe, they are still very large and hard to hold accountable. Being in a small country helps this, but accountability and not the name on the door is what counts.

Some people try to make it a government thing, but a dictator is the government, and a corporate head is often a dictator in that company so the rules get fuzzy. This is a deliberate con by the right wing.

You can see how left or right wing any enterprise is by how much accountability distance there is from top to bottom. This is often reflected as pay and perks, but that is just the symptom.

Edited to add-
You could have a left wing totalitarian theocracy- The Mennonites have very severe rules and insist that all their members think and act within those narrow rules, but membership is totally voluntary and the leadership is held to the same rules as everyone else.

Answer 2

I'm just a little worried by way of one of the unusual solutions on right here. Of direction, you are proper. Fascism is a a long way proper ideology and communism is at the a long way left. There has under no circumstances been a real communist society. Russia used to be state capitalist and so they have been additionally imperialist. Both those elements imply that they do not have compatibility the factors for being communist. Bourgeois democracy, that is the process in such a lot Western nation's, is designed to be certain that unelected capitalists possess and manipulate the method of creation, and fairly frequently dictate coverage to governments and the state. Communism signifies that manipulate over the method of creation is within the palms of each person in a classless society. Socialism, that is the transitional interval among capitalism and communism and is characterized by way of being the dictatorship of the proletariat, versus the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie that is what we've got now. Fascism is a petit-bourgeois ideology that is characterized by way of loss of freedom and option. The state is in absolute manipulate and dissent and debate aren't allowed. It is a mixture of state managed enterprise and privately owned firms. Trade Unions are banned and all competition celebration's too!

Answer 3

It does not work that way...
