LexBaird When I wrote ";It goes like this: since I am defining the terms as me being correct, I am therefore correct," I was demonstrating how a "question begging" (aka "circular logic") fallacy is structured, not trying to quote you.

And you are trying to set up a false pretense.

Read this carefully and slowly...

YOU have to show where I made the those aforementioned statements.

Are you clear now? Or shall I explain it to you a fifth time?

I can do this all day if you want..

You made them in your original post.

1. Government Control scale.

Begging the question; assumption in definition that linear scale is correct.

3. Now that we have established those data points we can examine what occurs as one moves along the scale from right to left.

False dilemma; right and left not only choices.

left wing: the part of a political group that consists of people who support liberal or socialist ideas and policies : the part of a political group that belongs to or supports the Left

Excluded middle, because you ignored the first and third part of the definition, and only considered the "or socialist" part.
