Portraying right wing philosophy as reactionary is a typical leftist projection. Think about it. Rightism is an attempt to conserve the past so, it is simply maintaining the absolute and original truth. Whereas, leftism attempts to react to the right wing philosophy.

I think the difference between the is their attitude towards the value of human life. The left sees life as having the utmost value and believes its protection should be the ultimate concern of society. The right sees things outside of human life (the state, property, god, etc.) itself as being of a greater value than the human life itself.

I tend to agree with the latter. State-oriented civilization is more than worth its human cost.

Right and left aren't equal intellectual traditions. They were merely roughly equally powerful in political power at key times.

The left is a tradition of actual intellectualism and thinkers. Right is instinctual normie thought. Right is fundamentally emotional and therefore has never had and will never have deep philosophy. Right is the instinctual drive to believe whatever society you were born into is right, just, the one true way. It is the drive for safety and order over novelty or big dreams. It is acceptance of suffering and imperfection to make peace with what is. It is obeisance to power.

Left wing thought is whatever under the sun isn't covered by right wing normie thought.

The right values social duty before individual freedom.

The left (circa liberalism) values individual freedom before social duty.

The left/right dichotomy doesn’t touch on economics very much, but one might observe that the left is more materially-focused, hence why the left uses economic reasoning so much (regardless of whether they are Communist or Capitalist).

We live in an era where the values of left reign supreme and it is very much capitalistic with little regard for social duty.

This is what actually being a right winger means, and this is why fascists are arguably left wing.

>economically individualist

Left:
>anti-hierarchical
>democratic
>economically collectivist

I consider even libertarian type right wingers to be hierarchical in mindset. From what I can tell, to speak very loosely, is their only problem with feudalism is that the kings only inherited the throne, but didn't "prove their worth" in the market. For them it doesn't matter if the top 1% has more wealth than the bottom 92%, because they think those wealthy people are the only things holding everything together. Competence should determine everything and the market is the best way to determine competence. Or so their idea goes.
Fascists are more direct. They believe hierarchy should be state instituted and state enforced, and that the best way for production to be organized is for those of a pre-determined better stock lead those of a lesser.

The state shouldn't be the determining factor of an ideology is right or left either. Libertarian socialists for example believe we should collectively organize production without a state.

>> No.13231563

>>13231105
The problem with feudalism (from a libertarian perspective) is that the king collect taxes from the people who truly own the land by homesteading.

also, from the libertarian perspective:
>natural hierarchies occur and they are fine as long as there is freedom of association
>social engineering is unethical
>the employee and the employer doesn't have antagonical interests
>supply and demand (and other economic laws) shouldn't suffer intervention
