I have alot of left wing and right wing views, that have became almost communist fascist. Some people say I am left wing and some say I'm right wing. The one think everyone agrees on is that I am too fanatical to be a liberal (because liberals are more layed back and listen to agrument against them)

So what is the political name for someone who is a fanatical central? Any ideas

Some of these views are:

Equality not matter of sexuality, race or religion

Everyone repects that equality and does not insult it

Against drugs (like cannabis, herion etc)

The belief that the people need to set an example for the youth when they are out drinking alcohol

In favour of smoking ban

Less American movies in non american countries (unless stated as foreign)

Free public transport

When people commit a horrific crime (rape or child sex assault) they lose there human rights in prison because they did not respect the rights of others

More work done to help maintain our lifestyle (cars, planes etc) but fight against global warming

Death sentance for murderers who have killed more than five innocent people.

1 year long Anger management classes for violent teenagers (12 - 19) if they don't work then the teenager is tagged for 8 years.

Doing more to help hookers get off the game.

Anybody know what wing I am following if right and left can't mix?

Not implying any racism, but I'd suggest Nationalist Socialism would be more correct- or even Social Nationalism but unfortunately the terms have become perpetually corrupted with Fascist & Racist Nazism so I can't rteally think of a more appropriate term.
I'd say you're actually very middle-class in your beliefs.

First of all Liberals don't "listen" to arguments put against them any more than conservatives do. Both the liberal and conservative ideologies are flawed. Whether conservatism or liberalism is best for the nation depends on the particular conditions of the nation during a specific period in time.

By definition fascism is a one party political system that exercises extreme nationalism and complete control over the daily operations of its subordinates lives, and is backed by the leadership of a strong central government. Communism is similar to this if given birth to in a dictatorial fashion. Communism in and of itself isn't dictatorial, but, some argue, more democratic because in theory it gives ordinary people control of the development and distribution of products.

There is democratic socialism run under the flag of Communism like in Venezuela, and social democracy that is more capitalist, but allows the government to exercise more control than the market like in Europe.

Criticisms of anti-communism


Proponents of communism in capitalist countries tend to challenge the accuracy of anti-communist claims. A common rebuttal of anti-communism is that communist countries had created a new, non-proletarian ruling class and thus were not in fact communist. This is a view first put forward by left communists in the twenties and Trotskyists in the 1930s.

Anti-communists respond to these claims by saying that they believe communist states are totalitarian by nature, and that in Marxist theory too much power is given to the state. They point out that several communist governments have existed, but none have been considered democracies. Anti-communists also question if a classless communist society can truly be achieved.

Some anti-communists, particularly those with Libertarian leanings, extend their criticisms well beyond Soviet-style communism, associating it with any state-run activity beyond the most minimal. People who support a mixed economy where some services are supplied by government-run institutions, such as what takes place in social-democrat countries, resent the association with communism.

Some writers and historians object to anti-communists' comparisons of communism to fascism (under the blanket term "totalitarianism", which they believe to be incorrect). They cite historical evidence, such as the fact that the Soviet Union fought against Adolf Hitler during World War II and say that fascism was the enemy of communism (a view that was shared by Hitler himself, who was one of the most virulent anti-communists of the time), while many anti-communists in occupied Europe took the side of Nazi Germany. Others, however, placed anti-fascism or national independence above their dislike of communism.

This is my view of the political "spectrum":

Draw a circle.
At the 12:00 position write "moderates"
between 10:30 and 11:30 position write "democrats"
between 9:00 and 10:30, write "damn liberals"
between 7:30 and 9:00, write "socialists"
between 6:00 and 7:30, write "communists"

between 12:00 and 1:30 write, "republicans"
between 1:30 and 2:30, write "conservatives"
bewteen 2:30 and 3:00, write "ultra-conservatives"
(I don't have a good category for 3 to 4:30 -- maybe "nazis")
between 4:30 and 6:00, write "facists"

So, on my scale, fascists and communists join at 6:00. What you want to call it? I don't have a good name for it, but I believe there can be "overlap" between communists and fascists in that 6:00 region.

almost got carried away there, into the realms of fantasy!
Briefly though, I am not going to insult your intelligence, or even debate the list of beliefs that you have drawn up, you are of course entitled to them.
There is no doubt in my mind you are Socialist, I cant think of any other political group that I could 'slot' you into.
Communism is basically a system that is working towards most of the items on your list! Please note I have said 'working towards' Russia was not and is not communist USSR has no mention of 'Communist' ! Socialist , yes. So most socialist systems are working towards most of your ideals.
Fascism on the other hand is the complete opposite, they all believe in the rule of the iron heel, equality for all?? No chance!
Pure Airyian (white)stock ? Oh yes.

no it is impossible to be both. fascists encourage enterprise but only in the ways they issue orders and nationalize. Communism suppresses the enterprise. The best way to look at it is modern day china, compared to cold war era china. After Russia fell china realized the downfall of communism and reverted to a fascist state it is today. A type of free market capitalistic economy that is overly nationalized and regulated.

Nope, no way... they are on the opposite end of the political spectrum. If anyone argues otherwise, they do not truly understand either concept as it relates to politics.


Just because two (or more) political ideas share some ideas or views doesn't mean they are the same.

Yes and no. the people who have called themselves communist over history, really dont adhere to the principles of true Marxist communism. they are more military dictatorships. If you knew the true nature of communism, military dictatorship and communism (which is a system of rule of the people) can't co-exist.

In reality, these "communists" were military fascists.

they are at total opposite ends of the spectrum. Communism treats everyone as an equal, Fascism favors a certain group and does not necessarily mean they are Socialists. South Africa was fascist yet not Socialist when they had apartheid
