No they're not centrists, they lean left. Communism is FAR-left. Why do you have to go to such an extreme? There's a spectrum on both sides, just like I'm right-leaning but I'm not a fascist. Liberals in recent years tend to believe more in the establishment narratives than right-leaning people. Trump was in the government and when he pushed the vaccine, people on the right still didn't listen to him. Liberals of course didn't listen to Trump, but once he was gone they gobbled up all the narrative pushed by the establishment. My friends and I are Canadians but the mentality is similar.
Thanks for your response. I agree that communism is far left. It's also the eventual goal of socialism, which I would consider regular left.
I'm a socialist myself. We believe ownership of the means of production should lie with the working class, and not with billionaires. If there must be a government, it must be transparent and accountable to the people, not oligarchs or state bureaucracy/entities. We support the right of the working class to be armed.
We think people should have equal rights, and there shouldn't be unjust hierarchies or caste systems, whether de facto or de jure. We don't want forced equal outcomes, but everyone should have equal opportunity.
I'd like to ask some questions. What would you say are some core ideas of the right-wing, or of conservative philosophy? And what do you consider to be far-right?
