@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

Your just going to ignore my other points, namely that its a spectrum and im not at the extreme and of either. therefore I can and do incorporate elements from each side to varying degrees,

@louiscouture

@freemo @louiscouture it's a spectrum of more government vs less government. left libertarianism isn't a thing, neither is right-wing authoritarianism.

@ew

You are making no sense.. if someone is near the middle and not at eithe extreme it means they beleive in some level of control, but less than those who would be higher up.. you seem to be laboring under the delusion that the second you cross the line even if your close to the center any form of control to any degree is no longer valid.. which makes no sense.

@louiscouture

@ew

saying complete nonsense that makes no sense when you explain it sounds just as ridiculous when scribble said nonsense on a diagram.

@louiscouture

@freemo @louiscouture it's non-sense to you because you live in fantasy land thinking you can pay for social programs without holding a gun to the heads of citizens

@ew

no im well aware that you need to "hold a gun" to peoples heads to pay for social programs, roads, snow removal on the highway, fire deartments, police, military, etc.. nor did I ever claim anything to the contrary... you dont see to bright as you completely ignored my entire counter argument and are going on some unrelated tangent... so probably not worth me discussing this with you.. your already having trouble following the conversation.

@louiscouture

@freemo @louiscouture good, glad we agree. so move yourself up back to the reality line and stop claiming you are libertarian. you are a leftist and you believe in a moderate amount of authoritarianism
@louiscouture @freemo probably right in the exact center. he doesn't really have policies tbh he just wants to be liked.
