@freemo @louiscouture you are libertarian right, you can't redistribute wealth without authoritarianism

@ew

there is so much wrong/confusing about such a short statement

1) who said anything about redistributing wealth?

2) why would I be right?

3) authoritarian is top so why is that related to bottom right as you claim I am

4) one can be on one side of the compass and still adopt aspects from the other side, thats why it is a spectrum and not just left/right

@louiscouture

@freemo @louiscouture that 4 quadrant chart has economics on the X axis. if you are left that means you are against a free market, thus you believe in the redistribution of wealth. you do not have redistribution of wealth without a central authority doing the act of redistribution. thus, we can conclude that you are either an authoritarian leftist or a free market libertarian/anarchist. you could be a left libertarian but you would be delusional.

@ew @freemo the way i see it is : up and down : social issues, left and right : economic issues

@louiscouture @freemo far left economics is communism which is just state monopoly capitalism, aka top left. far right economics is free market capitalism aka no intervention by the state, libertarianism.
