You’re free to think whatever you want about the right. You’re making valid criticism, but it goes both sides!
The freedom in question is also the freedom of owning private property, like a house or objects… which tends to dissapear when you go to the far left, and everything is shared.
Right is also going in the meritocracy direction. People could make criticism by saying that political left doesn’t reward intellectual jobs and studies, etc… and give people that abuse a better life. Leaning towards political rights gets more logical when you benefit from it.
In the end, most people are selfish and will vote for whoever helps them the most. That’s the world we live in. Being pro-left doesn’t say shit if you have low income; you do not risk anything from it, and it might be selfish because it’s mainly to serve your own interests. On the other side, being pro-right when you get taxed a shit load for hard work, which makes you feel scammed, is logical as well. Selfish, but logical.
But yea, in the current society, everyone wants money and wants to be rich, but to become rich, you have to be an asshole. Thanks, capitalism!
Ah yes, the lie of “you don’t own things under communism”
I mean, come on, that’s fucking stupid.
No, the only people who would have any property seized are the super rich, and most of them are lucky if they don’t get the guillotine for their crimes.
You cannot have gross excess under communism, because you’ll never be able to exploit your fellows in order to steal what should be shared.
The workers seize the means of production, and then produce. Then the factory shares the wealth created by the factory. You know, like a co-op.
That’s small scale communism. Everyone chips in to work, and everyone gets a piece of the profit because everyone owns a slice of the company.
Anyway Marx and Engels thought that after reaching that point, the government would sort of wither away and everyone would live in fantasy land utopia.
The other way seems better, a one world government where every single person on earth has a vote, because there are some issues where everyone on earth should have a voice.
But that would require a massive change to, well, human nature to start. Making people less tribal or giving the vast majority of the population the ability to sit and consider what’s good for the Earth, five, ten, or even a hundred years in the future, is a bit beyond me. Not something I’m every going to be capable of doing.
