i thought i was mostly in the middle, there is no one solution to many problems but i believe that capitalism and supporting the middle class are the best ways to further a country, just look at 1920s and 1950s America

wayyy to fucking stupid to answer some of these questions amiright. Where is the "no opinion" answer?

People should be able to do most of what they want.

you're correct. the best way to run a country is with a free market and a limited government.

Political Scientist here. Those questions are absolutely terrible. Yes, you might get a general representation about some issues, but you won't get the grand scheme.

>Who contributes more to society, the businessman who runs a factory, or the writer.


Clearly loaded, nobody choses the writer because the businessman obviously has lots of people in his employ.
A better question would ask:

>Are things that benefit the collective economy, or the collective intelligence better?

Do you believe in commerce/economics, or do you believe in education/empowerment. At it's core, it's liberal vs conservative.

seems about right

1930s got a bit dicey though...
Also both those periods are special economic times because of the post-war boom.

yeah, then look at the 30s and the 70s. and perhaps also consider that the reason for the 50s are the social programs of the 40s and FDR. but im cancer anyway, so what do i know

but there are exceptions, for example, when Hoover was dealing with the Great Depression in the U.S., he used the complete free market and it didn't work because there was no middle class to support it. a capitalist economic style will always have fluctuations and it is useful to bring upon temporary socialism to build up the middle class then go back to a true free market.

Agreed.

political compass is a biased push poll. It pushes to green quadrant and then pushes all govt candidates into deep blue and then chooses a few to put in green in hopes you vote for their chosen ones.

...

right you are, but it also has to do with the fact that it was the middle class that was booming, support the middle class and you have a stronger country

most of those policies like the New Deal were not in much effect anymore and FDR was a genius for starting the process of bringing us out of the Depression, but when you have too much socialism, that gives so much money to the poor from the rich, there then becomes no classes and then it is communism, which has proved itself to be the worst long term economic plan there is

i got the same as this. Wtf does it mean pls

I swear I don't do drugs

Fuck you fascist pigs lmaooo

...

cont, it is best to use more capitalism when times are good and more socialism when times are bad BUT it is very important to be flexible enough to switch between the two because, again there is not one magic answer for every problem

...

Fuck the moral busy bodies on all sides.

If what I'm doing isn't hurting anyone, I should be free to do it.

B-but... God cries when you masturbate

Please explain to me how "authoritarian" is the polar opposite of "libertarian"

So does his penis, so does anybody really win?

Libertarian = individuals are free to do whatever they see fit
Authoritarian = the government must dictate what people do

troll.

Or, it may actually be an accurate picture.

Most young people in the US start out very liberal and collectivist, but unfortunately "the real world" stomps out those ideals into a more "do anything to get ahead" and "fuck you I've got mine (what little I have)" attitude.

Probably because he doesn't have a dick

hey there

we gandhi

Answered truthfully.

That's literally the same thing as liberals vs. conservative. You're all retarded. Micro politics don't help anyone.

u need help

So what would this make me? I'm sorta drunk and stupid rn

hoover started the great depression because he intervened in the market, raised taxes, and raised spending.

coolidge dodged recessions by lowering taxes and cutting spending.

It makes you correct

...

Not these days. Liberals have strayed far from their classical roots (individualist and free market) and conservatives no longer represent the appeal to tradition

...

I'm all for being correct..

such bullshit. fdr prolonged the great depression for his entire presidency. the only reason america got out of it was because the war ended.

Coolidge was the best president of the 20th century... by quite a bit.

I'm just waiting for the parties to realign and see who remembered what they used to represent.

really not true at all, given the way that the terms liberal and conservative have evolved. liberals are often more authoritarian than conservative when it comes to regulating enterprise and providing social services. conservatives want to use equal taxation for economic stimulation and military expansion.

ghandi reporting

conservative- wants little to no change in government- ":what's been working is fine"
liberals- wants moderate changes in government "re-invent the wheel"

just think of the words conservation (protecting from changes" and liberation (freedom from whatever it was before)

of course you'd mention the word truth, as your only truth must be that there are men and there are women, you get rich by working hard, such a thing as sin exists and it's a leader's duty to keep people on the straight and narrow, only bad people commit crimes, all religions are wrong except yours, etc. Sounds familiar?

i'd agree. his predecessor was great as well.

Yeah but your mother's kind of a bitch, so how can I believe anything you say?

it pretty much makes you a normie with conservative economic leanings

God save politics!

>all these bluepilled plebs in this thread

Yeah, that's me.

because I, like her, am an authority figure and should not be questioned

ayyyyy twinsies

i got lefty libertarian. i guess i want the gov to tax the shit out of me..as long as i get the choice whether or not to pay it

equal taxation falls apart when you have the 99% paying for the "economic stimulation" and wars that benefit the 1%.

The common man loses in war and sure as shit doesn't see benefits from the money paid to expand business interests in developing countries (economic stimulation).

also , no idea why my post tagged you.

I got punched in the dick once because I was condescending towards a girl, and I think that's what just happened to me again here.

I agree completely, I'm

equal taxation doesn't fail if its a low tax.

but in order to get a low tax, the government would have to stop spending trillions of dollars every year. which isn't going to happen under anyone not named ron paul basically.

The alt-right faggots pretend to be the majority on 4chen, but they're just a few loud samefags.

mfw the alties dont realize when most people talk about killing niggers and the gays going to hell its just a meme and they use it to justify that swastika tattoo they got last week

but yes it does because if we lived in a completely free market (the result of a low tax / reduced government) then corporations and those at the top would be exploiting the working class even more than they are currently. essentially we would be the 3rd world countries that we currently offload labor to, except with an obscenely rich upper class, which would probably result in revolt.

The government wastes and just straight up "misplaces" a fuckton of money which is a massive issue but the solution is not to give up and say "fuck it, government doesn't work so let's allow social and economic slavery to occur through manipulation of the masses."

I don't feel special

i wasnt trolling,. and i tend to agree with you, young people tend to be more idealists than realists.

the alt right is a meme. there might not even be a thousand alt righters total.

...

it's ok gandhi, we love u

join the hivemind and together we can take down the authoritarian conservative elite

What's it like to be a Nazi LibertAryan? Kill any good black people lately?

aka "Nazi"

all the ghandis ITT need to form one being and run for office.

absolute bullshit. none of that stands up economics, or history.

in a free market with limited government, america would be making strides that haven't been made since the industrial revolution. it would be a joke how dominant america would be, in every single way. prosperity would be at an all time high.

nazis are extremely authoritarian

nice try

he's just economically naive and likes his freedums

>implying good black people

not falling for the bait.

Alt-right is just another way to say Confederate, you dumbass. And there are millions of pigfucking traitors still waiving the stars and bars praying for slavery to come back.

>good
>black people

Pick one.

economically educated* and i know my history.

Youre seeing that question from one point of view.

Perhaps the writer is insanely good at his craft, some sort of Golden Age author or whatever, and his work makes people think and question a certain topic or brings light to a specific issue or something so "little" as making people feel good...a writer can contribute just as much as a businessman, but not in the same way and not with the same results

theres no evidence of that either, hence why there's intellectual disagreement. welcome to nuance, we're glad to have you, but not too much.
