CNN’s Wolf Blitzer seemed at a lost of words at the justification being used to bomb a refugee camp in Gaza.

    In theory maybe. In practice china is to the right of the US. They’re a hypercapitalist oligarchy wearing an “I’m totes a communist” hat.

      Ok so the democrats are far right, China is further right and I guess South Korea or somewhere is off the map and out the building.

      I really don’t think just calling everyone we have a disagreement with right wing as if it’s a synonym for evil is an especially useful strategy.

      Because like I know it’s hard to hear but the Scandinavian countries are pretty shitty too in a lot of ways. UK and most the EU is right of the democrats, even Kier (labour leader) is to the right of Biden.

      We’re going to have to say Christiania is centrist at this rate.

        Right wing doesn’t mean “bad”. It means “view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable, typically supporting this position based on natural law, economics, authority, property or tradition. Hierarchy and inequality may be seen as natural results of traditional social differences or competition in market economies.”

        All of those things apply to both China and the Democrats. I don’t care if they call themselves the left, or progressives, or socialists, or communists. They are very far to the right.

          So basically no one on earth is left wing according to you? Is anyone even medium right or is everyone ultra right wing?
