Political Philosophies Libertarian Libertarians are self-governors in both personal and economic matters. They believe government's only purpose is to protect people from coercion and violence. They value individual responsibility, and tolerate economic and social diversity. Left-Liberal Left-Liberals prefer self-government in personal matters and central decision-making on economics. They want government to serve the disadvantaged in the name of fairness. Leftists tolerate social diversity, but work for economic equality. Centrist Centrists favor selective government intervention and emphasize practical solutions to current problems. They tend to keep an open mind on new issues. Many centrists feel that government serves as a check on excessive liberty. Conservative Right-conservatives prefer self-government on economic issues, but want official standards in personal matters. They want the government to defend the community from threats to its moral fiber. Authoritarian Authoritarians want government to advance society and individuals through expert central planning. They often doubt whether self-government is practical. Left-authoritarians are also called socialists, while fascists are right-authoritarians. No. Extremism whether left or right wing is authoritarian and militaristic. Extremism is extremism. Castro, Mao, and Stalin are good examples of extreme leftisms Castro, Mao, and Stalin are better described as Authoritarian Leftists but they also exhibit Authoritarian Right traits. The Authoritarian Right traits are best shown by recognizing the "economic rewards" given to those socialists who "produce" in accordance with the margins of their society. Economic self governance still exists in socialism because the "player" (much like in capitalism) is rewarded. Why do well connected communists live better than the masses? American capitalism simply works better because more people have access to the profit motive thereby promoting competition and creating consumable products. We also have a good legal, governmental, technological and socio-economic structure. Lebed and Co. is thought to be on the Authoritarian Right. As incorrect as it may be, many Americans have come to sense that American Authoritarianism = The Right. LesX
