Instead of paying attention during history class at school, they were looking out the window at the squirrel in the tree. That's why they are so ignorant.

Aren't communism and socialism left wing policies? Wouldn't a conservative want to conserve the old economic system?

No, they're not left wing policies. They are economic systems. Go read The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money by John Maynard Keynes. If you're going to try to make fun of economic systems you know nothing about, you just come off as an ignorant moron. Go read that book, then come back and make your funnies.

Woah woah woah, I would never make fun of an economic system behind it's back. That's disrespectful. Is there something I said that seemed like it was maing fun of an economic system? But seriously though, aren't socialism and communism left wing economic systems? Isn't capitalism a right wing economic system? Am I mistaken in how people use the term left wing and right wing?

People that are left wing support capitalism. People that are right wing support fascism. Socialism is the belief that the government should be responsible for ensuring that the people are fed, clothed, housed, educated and healthy using the taxes they've collected. Socialism can only work when built on a capitalist framework that provides the economic growth and prosperity that governments can tax to provide necessary services. If you have a national health service, livable safety net social support services, you're in a socialist country. Fascism is the belief that the government can use the people as cannon fodder in forever wars and all taxes collected are to further the enrichment of the oligarchy. Capitalism, ownership by many, is replaced by an an oligarchy where all wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few who are entirely beholding to the state to provide their military and civilian protection. By keeping the population sick, poor and hungry, it makes them easier to control. Inadequate healthcare, high energy costs, and the only work available is join the army and go die in a forever war is a sure sign you're living in a fascist society. Communism and fuedalism are the same, the state/king owns everything including the peasants.

This website says that Communism is left-wing. https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/political-science… Wikipedia also says that Communism is considered left-wing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism To be clear, I don't give a shit what Socialism or Communism are, I only care how people use the terms. The National Socialsts called themelves Socialists. The Soviet Union called themselves Communists. Most sources I find online say that Communism and Socialism are left-wing economic systems. As I understand it, @sitting at an airport bar was arguing that left-wing countries have never gone to war, and therefore left wing countries are good. If you now want to butt-into our conversation and argue that left wing countries are good and therefore no country that has gone to war was a left wing country, then the argument is now fully circular. No offense though, I don't want to assume your beliefs and reasoning are identical to Airport Alcoholic's. If you want to just argue about what social and economic policies a country should adopt then I would gladly rise above the abstract, color-coded tautologies and the meaningless semantic arguments to have a more concrete and meaningful semantic argument with you about what state actions can be considered "good". What do you think?

When did I say ANYTHING about good or bad? Don't accuse me of saying shit I didn't say. You're looking for an argument, that's it. Your disingenuous questions are nothing but lies. You're not interested in knowledge. You just want to pick a fight with people. That's it. You have no idea what your talking about. You're literally googling talking points as you go along. You're just another ignorant moron that thinks they can win an intellectual argument using Google. You can't. You just prove you're an argumentative, uneducated moron that has such low self esteem, that this is so you can do for any sort of life satisfaction.

Yes? Of course I'm looking for an argument. I think you are an interesting person and I want to engage with your ideas. And I appreciate that you continue to talk with me despite how poorly you describe me. I would actually prefer that you dismiss the content of the random quotes I googled. Please. I'm not googling talking points or trying to win an intellectual argument. I'm googling the way people use the term "left wing" and I'm trying to win a semantic argument. I don't know how a question can be a lie. I just want to know what kind of semantic argument you are interested in having. Are you interested in discussing what arbitrary label applies to whichever historical government? Or are you interested in discussing what it means for a government to be good?

Nope, not interested in discussing any of that absolutely useless crap. I have degrees in computer science and economics. I gave you a recommendation for a book, a real book, rather than just Google useless shit. I gave you the opportunity to actually to learn something, something real, and you threw it in my face. You're an ignorant fool that just wants to argue about meaningless crap. You're not even using your own earned knowledge. You just Google/cut/paste to try and look smarter than you are. The funny thing is, your life is never ever going to get better. You're always going to be a cynical prick looking for an argument you can win because you've always been a loser at everything else in life. I guarantee you're as big a loser as your father always said you were.
