A system that allows little personal or economic freedom ? Naziism, communism, facism, etc.
Anarchy would be complete economic and personal freedom, OPPOSITE the totalitarians, not adjacent.

What is the ultimate end of growing control? There have been several forms of government oppression throughout history: absolute monarchy, Communism, fascism, Nazism, and Islamofascism (such as the Taliban), to name some of the more infamous examples.
So an accurate view of the modern positions of Right and Left would place anarchy at the extreme right, totalitarianism at the extreme left. In the years following the American Revolution, the Founders of this nation desired to create a system of government that was a perfect balance between these two extremes. Their desire was to create a federalist republic that would protect the rights of its citizens without getting in the way. The result was a government that restricted itself through a system of checks and balances, and the American experiment granted nearly unprecedented freedom and representation to the people of the United States.
In modern politicospeak, the idea of “moderate” can represent many things. At times, it is used to represent those forward-thinking Americans who don’t submit to dogma of a Party, instead thinking for themselves. At times, it is used to represent those who are undecided between two sides of an issue–the lukewarm citizen, neither hot nor cold.
Using the correct ideological model, however, the Constitution is moderate. That document is the perfect balance between tyranny and anarchy, protecting its citizenry while limiting the influence of government.

Stupid people with no sense of History....Now were doomed to repeat them.....
Good thread...ping for later participation!
Nazis were socialists, and the historical record backs this claim up.
Some folks are so easily led, as if they have blinders on and simply do not want to see the things and facts that may explode their worldview. Liberals, sheesh.
The sad thing is if we give them enough time and enough power they will hang themselves, but in the process they will destroy this country and everything that made it good.
You know we have to find new ways of fooling the SHEEPLE!!
The Nazis were ALWAYS “left-wing” and in fact, Hitler embraced both vegetarianism and the “preservation of the environment” green agenda, very early back in the days of his rise to power.
The Black Forest is a very large, well-kept nature preserve. Has been for centuries. I suppose that is sort of “conservative”.
bump
That video of Buckley was priceless!
Didn’t Glenn Beck say something about the Nazi’s actually being left wing extremists?

I take issue with that chart you posted. “Left-Wing” in no way represents “personal freedom”. Left-wingers want to control personal choice every bit as much as anyone.
I do as well, and all charts, tests, and quizzes of the like. Personal and economic freedom are not mutually exclusive, therein and measure of the two separately is logically fallible.
That’s true, too. Economic and personal freedom are not mutually exclusive.
The Nazi and the Communists controlled both personal and economic freedoms.
Should be
therein any measure of the two separately is logically fallible. Spell check doesn't help grammar.
