Funny how we never hear that so many Arab dictators, and also Mussolini and Hitler, were all leftwing. Doesn't take long research on any of them to see "socialism" pop up everywhere though. Am I getting paranoid at the education system?
I did forget to include Batista in the right. Not that it changes much though.
I can't help but notice you don't have any kings or emperors up there.
But it's only the left that engages in cognitive dissonance, dontchaknow?
Liam Barnes
I decided to leave those out, mainly because it would consist of them almost entirely.
Matthew Kelly
im still confused how merkel isnt considered a dictator. i refuse to believe she actually receives votes
Evan Flores
Right side should have every theocracy thats ever existed.
Shitlist
Ryan Collins
So your saying go with a left leaning dictator then? Sounds good user.
Lucas Cooper
how convenient, user
Connor Brooks
>mussolini >socialist >hitler >left wing Dropped
Connor Taylor
Its pretty hilarious most libertardians consider monarchism left wing cause reasons
Henry Gutierrez
These definitely, Milošević, Ion Metaxas, Salazar are also right wing
For left wing include Maršala Tito, Mugabe, and either take off gorbachev/Kruschev or include tovarisch andropov and the rest of the premiers.
Perón is kind of in the middle
This is the truth of the situation
Wyatt Phillips
Yeah Hitler the vegan animal rights artfag feminist pro maternity leave guy was right wing
Levi Morgan
While Hitler was socialist, he was obviously also extremely nationalist. Where should you draw the line between left and right wing?
Gavin Gutierrez
Hitler was a dictator but he had a fundamentally different definition of socialism that differed in philpsophical ideas opposed to Marx. you should try reading up on it!
Jason Phillips
Hmm you mean the left-wing side has famous dictators while the right side would have famous kings? >imagine being this retarded literally kill yourself op
Julian Perez
>Hitler >Leftist
Being this fucking new
John Harris
left wing = collectivist right wing = individualist
Xavier Martinez
He was also a veteran of one of the bloodiest wars the european continent has ever seen you fucking retard
Alexander Perry
Yup yup. Nationalist/Socialist/Communist philosophies are easy tools to use to win over the masses. They're appealing. We'll share with each other and we'll all do well. Easy to get behind.
However OP's false equivocation that socialism/communism = facism is veiled and incorrect. Don't let this blame of facist individuals delude the idea of the philosophy. Philosophies are not often practiced to the detail in real life, as they're not practical to do. However dismissing the philosophy because so far people can't replicate it correctly is definitely a mistake. The sith deal in absolutes.
Jaxon King
>this makes him right wing kek
Robert Ortiz
6/10 bait
Isaiah Bennett
I would unironically vote for Lee Kuan Yew
Jordan Wilson
it's obviously on economic platform
Gavin Thompson
>Hitler and Mussolini were leftwing
Camden Foster
>right wing >literally every Roman emperor
Landon Cooper
this makes him right wing, how?
Nolan Murphy
Just because they were leaders of USSR does not make them dictators.
Adrian Morgan
The term "privatization" is derived from "reprivitization", which was made up by The Economist, when they examined the economy of Nazi Germany.
John Thomas
Hitler was a centrist how fucking hard is the for autistic lolbertarians and retarded commies to understand? He has some capitalistic tendencies and some centralization tendencies.
Gas yourselves
Luis Morgan
Being drafted makes you a right wing guy? Haha.
Noah Gomez
Realistically speaking, Socialism and even Communism are economic ideas, not social ideas.
Hitler was about as redpilled as you could get, after all. And even despite that, it's only Americans who insist on the whole "Right-Left" bullshit so much. It's possible to have left AND right ideas, after all. I despise abortion but I'm all for free or even mandated birth control.
Wyatt Fisher
Andropov hid budget from interior ministers, such basic information would not be compartmentalized in such a way if not in an autocratic rule. Brezhnev put in many cronies to do his bidding as well during his time, his was a dictatorship. OP needs to include them or remove Khrushchev and Gorbachev
Austin Myers
Nationalist=/=right wing Right wing and left wing are defined entirely by your economic stances.
Juan Phillips
Whoever made this was eating from the trash can of ideology. Where are the Duvaliers, Suharto, the Somozas, D'Aubisson, Pavelich, Stroessner, Videla, Habre, Trujillo, Diem, Putin, Karimov, Nazarbayev, or Nguema on the right side? Not to mention they're missing Honecker, Brezhnev, Ulbricht, Kadar, Ceausescu, Mariam, Gheorghiu-Dej, and Rakosi on the left. Also, I'd categorize Mussolini, Pol Pot, and Hitler on the right, and I wouldn't put Maduro or Chavez on there as dictators at all.
Ryan Hughes
He also hated trade unions, liberalism, and socialism. He purged the left wing elements from the NSDAP.
Adam Roberts
>put Putin, Nazarbayev and Lukashenko are 100% commie dicks.
Luke Rivera
No. You individualist fucks always try to make right wing yours.
Lincoln Thomas
It is a shit list but monarchy isn't left wing. Its kind of retarded that Western politics seemingly need to be divided into A or B, Left or Right, 0 or 1.
Throughout history there are examples of what would be described as left wing, liberal monarchs as much as there were right wing, conservative monarchs.
Grayson Miller
National Socialism =/= Socialism
Lucas Peterson
See
William White
Because those wouldn't be considered an issue in modern politics, as they arose via blood, not political leaning. However, Kims Jung and Il should be removed because Juchism says they have a blood right to rule.
Kayden Wood
Forgot hitler and Mussolini
Jeremiah Bailey
fixed
Brandon Gonzalez
put your geo on
Gavin Barnes
I can never put Hitler in the leftwing camp, simply because it doesn't match with all the other communist and socialist hell holes that they are.
NAZI Germany was pretty capitalist, even the war industry was capitalist. Loans were still being given out. Banks still operated. Hitler didn't want to take your capital away, but everyone was working for the common good of Germany, together. Big difference there.
Daniel Nelson
>DAE think right wing is based??
Fuck off with these fake news pictures.
Gabriel Wood
Like Diocletianus, who almost destroyed Empire economy when trying to force maximum price for bread?
Asher Turner
Almost every dictator in history has been left-wing. Including that piece of shit Assad today, Kim Jong Un, Maduro and all the other rats.
Nathan Roberts
>not REAL right wing
Jeremiah Reed
>Hitler and Mussolini >Left wing
are you for real? You really are the biggest idiot on the internet, congrats. You are so stupid I won't even bother posting why you are stupid because if you would know anything about either of those men you would hang your head in shame for how stupid you sound. It's like you want others to teach you but I won't because you are to stupid to even be taught.
For everyone else with a brain...what is Bolshevism and who was fighting against it most stridently?
Carter Rodriguez
>He has never taken a political science class. Stop talking if you don't know what you are talking about.
Read about the distinction between economic and social policy. Almost every single dictator in the last 200 years has been socially conservative. Economically it is a mix and much more complex.
Dylan Lewis
>who was fighting against it most stridently? Non-Bolsheviks. Nobody wanted a united Russia. No matter what form that took.
Tyler Gonzalez
stupid
Ethan Gray
What is soviet socialist patriotism, or socialism in one country? What is Hoxhaism, Maoism, Juche, Systematization, Titoism, or national liberation as a form of nationalism in the context of decolonization, and the preoccupation marxists and liberation movements have in palingenesis?
Cameron White
it's a stretch to consider national socialism "left wing". like a big stretch. more like lying.
Michael Bennett
good post, included everyone i was going to mention plus a bunch more
Lincoln King
Make 3 columns: Socialist/communist Fascist Conservative/libertarian
Liam Bailey
Hitler implemented coercion based socialism.
Right wing is typically pro individualism, which Hitler was not
Caleb Phillips
He agreed with marxs criticism of capitalism....just had a slightly different solution than other left wing dictators.
Almost by default, right wing dictator is an oxymoron
Josiah Taylor
Exactly.
That's how Hayek say it too.
Oliver Flores
It's true The economic concept of Dirigisme is the backbone of National Socialism and is inherently socialist
>Putting members of the third position on a wing Do more research faggot you obviously don't know shit.
Carter Martin
Hitler was very inspired by Italian Fascism. National Socialism is another Fascist ideology, like Italian Fascism, that is based on the idea of the "third position" it isn't left or right, trying to categorise it as such is retarded. It didn't subscribe to the left/right dichotomy and took good points from either side. At best you can call it "centrist".
Nicholas Bell
You a special kind of stupid
Cooper Harris
>He thinks Hitler didn't want to fight Oh, you poor child. He volunteered.
Carson Nguyen
The rest of Operation Condor's dictators should be put to the right. A bunch of CIA trained murderers as was Pinochet.
Eli Peterson
Hitler was centrist.
Arguably Mussolini too.
Julian Fisher
a bunch of CIA trained murderers who saved Chile's economy
