I feel like a lot of people in this thread, are clearly basing their politics on faulty generalizations.
"Europe is more left wing than America, and I think America is better, therefore I don't like left wing politics" - even if a lot of these policies are actually also right wing.
Oregon, despite being a "blue" state for example has a more conservative income tax system than almost every red state.
A lot of "left wing" states and countries have right wing policies - VAT for example isn't left wing.
A lot of right wing states and countries have left wing policies.
| Tober said: I'm not German, I'm your friendly western neighbor. I don't know much about AfD, but why are they considered rightwing? The Nazi's where socialist (it's in the name). Are AfD hardcore capitalist? |
And North Korea is a Democratic Republic (it's in the name).
