I'm kinda amused that Verb nearly scored a Marx.

What's a right authoritarian?

Edit: Sorry if it's a stupid comment, but I honestly picked up politics some week ago. Right means movement and freedom, yet authoritarian means absolute power.

How do these two go together?

Right means movement and freedom,

We're talking solely in an economic context here.

The horizontal axis is economics; the vertical, social.

That makes sense. Sorry for bothering you, but do the same concepts still apply? Does right mean the freedom to manage a business however you want?

I think I'd honestly fit better around Hobbes (if I were to seriously take the test) but I have no idea what his philosophies are.

This is Dustin btw, not Harlow.

Hobbes essentially created the idea of a social contract. He said, in order to avoid the simple, barbaric state of nature, people would contractually agree to a civil society in which the government has total sovereign authority. He basically supported the absolutism of government.

In saying that, he did believe all men were equal, should be allowed to do whatever the law explicitly forbids, and states that the authority must be representative in some way - which is why I didn't make him an out-and-out totalitarian.

ayyyyn rand lmao

You seriously need to read some Nietzsche.

From the center.. I am two squares to the left and one down from Libertarian.  If I was in the dead center, wouldn't that make me well-rounded?

I find it funny that Meta and I are politically the same but so different
