If we they can only see evils of leftist government - Soviet Union (Communism) - Nazi (Socialism) - China (Communism) Today, Biden government which is left but funding atrocities for their self interest. He is also trying hard to jail his opponent Trump. Media is being controlled, it only shows US propaganda Explain to me why people assume being left makes sense
Is there a point in all this gibberish?
Nazis were extreme right-wing. Fascist, in fact. National Socialism is just a confusing name. But yes, extreme populism on both sides gets to similar places.
"we dont really mean what we call ourselves, we're just doing it to own the libs in the 2024 election" -all nazis, all in unison
You're really trying to rebrand nazis as left-wing? The term ‘National Socialism’ was created to reclaim the term socialism from communists who promoted international socialism. It was a reaction to/rejection of the left.

And the non-evil rightist governments are?
Singapore. Canada (periodically).
Canada is more socialist than the U.S.
Mostly because the Left has control of the Overton Window and most of its terrible ideas are viewed as positive (or at least “well meaning”) even when they are ruinous.
Don’t focus too much on left vs right terminology. None of those governments you mentioned are anything like anything America has. Even republican vs democrat isn’t left vs right anymore. Republicans want bigger government that forces Christian ideals, and democrats want smaller government that lets people “express” themselves.
This is true and well written, but I think the OP’s point is that Left leaning leaders can use authoritarian and collectivist rhetoric and actually gain support whereas Right leaning ones can not.
The problem is less about left vs right and more about authoritarian/totalitarian vs individualist. Leaning too far either way tends toward authoritarianism. I want a government with the smallest footprint possible and the maximum level of personal liberty.
You're dumb. Ever heard of Pinochet? Was he a leftist?
You're dumb. Ever heard of Stalin? Was he not a leftist ?
That just proves that anyone can be evil, leftist or not.
