The left was coined by its opposition to the monarchy while the right supported it. So left has been currently and historically speaking in opposition of hierarchies and in favor of equality.

If Mamdani established Mamdanistan and abused courts to execute people polluting ground water with data centers, that would be hierarchical, but very clearly not "right wing" in the common understanding. Opposing hierarchies is generally fitting, but the minutia of politics make such simple definitions harder to agree on by everyone, which touches on their point. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 months ago (2 children) Weird example but ok. And no, it is not only historical. I stated that in my original comment and I invite you to look at left wing politics but some "left wing" politician's position on some random issue, but a widely supported position by the left wing community. You will see that they are all in opposition of hierarchy.

I was doing the limiting case to prove the point, but the base point is prosecution of criminal environmental acts through courts requires hierarchy.

Saying "slavery is good" and someone saying "slavery is bad" does not make "some slavery is good" the correct position. Secondly, utopianism is what they are referring to, the practice of theorycrafting a perfect idea and trying to create that by explaining that perfect idea to everyone. Communism has been scientific since Marx, however those who still cling to utopianism over scientific communism do exist to this day. They are typically called "ultraleft," but not because they are "more left," but because they place ideals over material reality. That's why the question exists, can they truly be called "more left" if their strategy is impossible to begin with? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 1 point 4 months ago* (1 child) i didn't say you should be centerist lmao. i said that extremism is real and something to watch yourself on. I'm very far left, that why I'm on this forum you goof. that doesn't mean leftist extremism isn't real. when i said father i meant in pursuing a specific goal or idea. not "father left".left vs right is just defined by vague political goals and ideas. to say anything is more or less of that is impossible because the scale is undefined. that's not what matters, the point is that if you don't police your own beliefs you are likely to fall down dangerous rabbit holes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 months ago My point is that "extremism" doesn't really mean anything, except that it diverges from the median political opinion. Communism is correct and viable, despite being "extreme" in the eyes of the mainstream westerner. permalink fedilink source parent [+] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz -6 points 4 months ago (2 children) Yeah, exactly. This graphic is really bad. I guess it's supposed to be incorrect, but it sends a bad message. Also, the only people calling anyone "shitlibs" are literal tankies. Sane leftists don't call anyone "shitlib." Any leftist to the right of my on the spectrum is probably considered center-left. I prefer democratic socialism and/or social democracy, using incremental progress to achieve leftist reform. People are allowed to have different opinions than me. That's what democracy is. But no one can be allowed to be authoritarian in a democracy, because authoritarianism is incompatible with democracy and a danger to it. Authoritarians don't respect diversity of opinion, they don't tolerate differences. So I'm so tired of authoritarian-minded people whining and calling me intolerant just because I shut them down when they're trying to dominate others. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 months ago (1 child) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HalfSalesman@lemmy.world -3 points 4 months ago (1 child) Imagining yourselves as everyone's parents...
