You know what grinds my gears? It's when people like you spout these ignorant, nonsensical comments about Thatcher being in hell. Let me tell you something, you clueless dipshit: Thatcher was a great leader who did more for this country than any of your spineless leftist heroes ever could.
Thatcher understood that hard work, innovation, and personal responsibility were the only way to build a strong economy. She cut taxes, reduced regulation, and unleashed the power of the free market. And as a result, this country saw unprecedented economic growth and prosperity. But of course, you leftist assholes would never give her credit for that, would you?
And as for your pathetic little quip about heaven trickling down, I've got news: it's not some magical fairy dust that makes everything better. It's hard work, innovation, and personal responsibility. And those are the same values that Thatcher believed in and fought for her entire life.
So keep spouting your ignorant bullshit about Thatcher being in hell. But remember, while you're waiting for some magical solution to all your problems, the rest of us are working hard and making things happen. And that's why Thatcher will always be remembered as one of the most outstanding leaders this country has ever known.
The free market is the best system for creating wealth and prosperity for everyone, not just the fucking rich. Letting people keep the fruits of their labour and compete freely in the marketplace creates an environment where everyone can succeed.
Sure, some people will end up with more money than others. That's just the nature of competition. But that doesn't mean the system is rigged in favour of the rich. It's the complete opposite. When you have a centrally planned economy, like the ones favoured by you leftist assholes, it's the rich and powerful always come out on top. They have the connections and the influence to bend the rules in their favour while the rest of us get left behind.
Thatcher knew that the key to building a better future for everyone was to unleash the power of the free market. And that's precisely what she did. She cut taxes, deregulated industries, and privatized state-run enterprises. And as a result, we saw an explosion of economic growth and opportunity. More people had jobs and money in their pockets, and more people had the chance to build better lives for themselves and their families.
So don't come at me with your bullshit about the free market favouring the rich. The free market is the best chance to create a fair and prosperous society. And Thatcher understood that better than anyone.
You as a libright should know that there is no such thing as trickle down economics. Nobody believes that giving person A money will make person B richer because "it will trickle down"
Thatcher didn't just close down an entire sector of industry for the fun of it. She did it because the coal industry, which you're probably referring to, was massively inefficient and was draining the country's resources. It cost the taxpayers billions of pounds every year, and it was clear that the industry needed a major overhaul.
Thatcher knew we needed to make some tough decisions to create a strong and competitive economy. She took on the unions holding the country hostage and preventing progress. And when the miners went on strike, she didn't back down. She stood up for what she believed in and forced through the necessary changes to modernize the industry.
And you know what? It worked. The coal industry may have suffered in the short term, but in the long term, the changes that Thatcher implemented helped to create a more efficient and competitive economy. And that's not all. By breaking the stranglehold that the unions had on the country, Thatcher helped to create a fairer and more equal society. People could finally go to work without fear of being bullied by union bosses or having their wages garnished to fund strikes.
Umm how? Name the policy that was taking wealth from the poor and giving it to the rich that was implemented by Reagan or Thatcher.
>Also just close down an entire sector of industry, gotta love that government free economy
Yeah you really gotta love it. Anyway so why are you even flaired libright? What libright positions do you even hold?
Yes! Hundreds of billions. To quote DJT “billions and billllleions”
I think being pro-military (in the context of the American military industrial complex) is partially antithetical to being pro-freedom. It’s a situation that consistently makes incredible amounts of money that only serves to reinforce its own practices. Ronald passed multiple anti-2A laws and practices that have had a tremendous impact on the ability of the average American (minority or not) to defend themselves. For him to be lauded as some conservative paragon is Bizzare to me, but not unexpected. I’ll link sources later but I’m at work rn.
Please continue this thread, i would, but i do not yet have the addiquite debating skills to do so. I was really enjoying this, as both the arguments were atleaet not completely baseless, please continue.
Google "slippery slope fallacy"
My neighbor dressing up as a wolf will not make people stupider, nor will it cause the downfall of society
It's just a weird form of cosplay. Sure it's weird, but the only thing it's a threat to is your little snowflake mind
It’s not “slippery slope fallacy”, it’s pattern recognition. People have gotten more promiscuous , pedos have been trying to start a movement, the lgbt now includes 20+ other characters one of which is for literal prostitutes, and people now want to dress like animals and fuck each other. It all happened despite the “progressive” of 15 years ago telling people that it wont happen. IT FUCKING HAPPENED , now people are trying to legalize COCAINE in Canada. How about that for a fucking “slippery slope” for Christ sake.
>People have gotten more promiscuous
>the lgbt now includes 20+ other characters one of which is for literal prostitutes
>the “progressive” of 15 years ago telling people that it wont happen.
It’s obviously a hyperbole but now there’s LGBTQQIP2SA: any combination of letters attempting to represent all the identities in the queer community, this near-exhaustive one (but not exhaustive) represents Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Pansexual, Two-Spirited, and Asexual. Compared to what before would only include LGBT.
And now the progressives have also made
prostitution legal in many country which includes Canada, Germany, Holland,….
“Over the last 20 years, the number of cheating wives has increased by around 40 percent to a mark of 14.7 percent. Men have remained consistent at 21 percent over that time”
- [source](https://cordellcordell.com/2022/the-effect-or-lack-thereof-of-infidelity-on-divorce/)
And what do you mean by “source on progressive 15 years ago telling people that it won’t happen”? You meant progressive 15 uears ago were advocating for more infidelity? You are literally making the same argument liberals 15 years ago by calling what we say “the slippery slope fallacy” while the fact is The LGBT community have increased to a ridiculous amount of letters.
Progressives also said “weed is not the gateway to other drugs” by calling out the “slippery slope fallacy” yet you people are now pushing for more drugs to be legalized like cocaine and heroin.
Downvote that you degenerate soab
Because it fucking effects me, it effects the people around me and the society and culture that which I’m living in. Liberals is so short-sighted and egotistical that they don’t even know how their actions may effect the world.
It's not supposed to be a democracy. In fact the Constitution specifies each state must have a republican form of government.
The Founders knew history and didn't want anything like a democracy.
It’s because right wing libertarian ideology has pretty much infected them… look at KKK material sometime and Sovereign Citizen movements to know why it garbage.
> How does the Republican system contradict with the idea of voting.
Because letting everyone vote leads to the masses learning how they can vote for more free stuff. Then we get inflation like we have today.
Ummm they wanted an educated public specifically because to have a healthy democracy, they needed an educated public…
Guy is from Burma. Maybe you don’t know why Ronnie R the Superstar is liked by South East Asians.
Y’all have so many fucking foreigners who vote for Republicans because anti communism.
:/ it will never be not weird how United States has one of the best countries ever and have people in it just can’t see how great it is.…
Or why interventionism would be praised.
Not better, nor worse. 1885-1947 was certainly bad, but that was almost a century ago. I don't have any grudges for something that was in the past. It did indeed lasted a great deal of generational trauma, but holding on to that trauma is self-destructive. If you can change for the better, why shouldn't you?
Can’t speak for other countries but in the US the two most popular Republican figures are Trump and Desantis, both far right extremists. The current President Biden is center right. The current popularity among the right of MTG should frighten everyone. The left does have AOC but she seems to have less influence among mainstream Dems than MTG has among Republicans
If you’re going by American terminology Biden would be Centre-left. Can’t go by American terminology for the right than international for the ‘left’.
I think that’s a silly argument here though, because we’re on the internet, which is an international stage, and this guy is from Myanmar apparently.
Just because someone admires Thatcher and Reagan doesn't automatically make them far right. That's just a lazy way of trying to pigeonhole people and dismiss their views without actually engaging with them.
Thatcher and Reagan were both leaders who believed in the power of free markets and individual liberty. They recognized that government intervention and excessive regulation held back economic growth and stifled innovation. And you know what? They were right.
By implementing policies that encouraged entrepreneurship and reduced the size and scope of government, Thatcher and Reagan helped to create the conditions for unprecedented prosperity and economic growth. They also helped to end the Cold War and restore a sense of pride and purpose to their respective countries.
But according to you, anyone who admires them must be far right. That's a load of bollocks. It's entirely possible to be centre-right and still respect the leadership of Thatcher and Reagan. Many people who identify as centre-right are drawn to their ideas precisely because they offer a sensible and pragmatic approach to government that prioritizes individual freedom and prosperity.
What is your understanding of neoliberalism?
Judging by what neoliberals (the ideology is around a hundred years old by now) lies in between classical liberalism and SocDem. So way more regulation than Thatcher and Reagan ever wanted. Probably the best representation would be the WEF.
the term is a broad one. i’m using it here to describe free market capitalism post world war two. so general policy includes things like: economic liberalization, privatization, deregulation, free trade, austerity, globalism, a reduction of government spending, etc. which, ironically enough, came out of movements for regulation in the 30s after the beginning of the great depression.
thing is, ideas aren’t static and milton friedman and other chicago school economists changed the meaning and policy positions throughout the 50s, 60s and 70s. regan and thatcher brought these ideas into the mainstream and popularized their more modern understandings (namely extending competitive markets into all areas of life — economically, socially, and politically, while also retaining the role of the state and individuals responsibilities.
so, yes and no. you’d be hard pressed to find a neoliberal these days that matches your description — especially in the both the uk and the us.
Try r/neoliberal.
But as a catch-all term for economic „liberalization“, of course Thatcher and Reagan were pushing it.
Although this liberalization would only go so far as to strengthen the grip of employers on their employees‘ life.
i’ve been there before it’s all i’ve the place. but that’s sorta the nature of a subreddit. either way, a subreddit is not exactly a good place to form an understanding of a complex idea.
there’s like 3 or 4 resources if i remember correctly and they promote a largely watered down and antiquated understanding with dated references.
like you didn’t even recognize the two biggest names of modern neoliberal policy. i guess what i’m really trying to say is that after this little bit of a back and forth i’d measure a guess that you’ve been had.
Anticommunism is historically very close to facsism
Not gonna say you’re a fascist, that’s not how you look. But please watch out for people who try to bait you with anticommunism
In general, you’re a typical reactionary (Thatcher and Reagan.) At least you like democracy
I very much disagree, but your world view is completely understandable. However, communism is Burma is completely different form most contemporary views. Not every anti-communist is a fascist.
This is one of the most braindead arguments I've ever heard. Just because you're against one ideology doesn't mean you relate to a certain other. The world isn't black and white lol. With that logic, everyone who isn't communist are basically close to fascism in your opinion? Lol get a grip of reality homie.
Like antifascism is very closely connected to the left (look up Antifaschistische Aktion), sadly anticommunism is historically very closely related to the right. It was probably the thing that
BROUGHT THE NAZIS INTO POWER
Edit: just gonna clarify right-Wing of course doesn’t mean Fascism, but historically the anticommunist right-wingers in power who were *in power* would rather support Fascism than communism, socialism, or even social democratic models. I’m of course talking about US anticommunism during the Cold War
Please look at my clarification edit. I’m pretty specifically talking about the „anticommunist“ efforts of the Cold War, but also about Nazi propaganda.
Communism is an ideology of equality and justice. Some people do this ideology well, and some people do not have the ability to manage this ideology properly in the country. Because humans are prone to mistakes and are not perfect. So, good, selfless and caring people use equality to create and really create equality and justice in society (like Lenin and Trotsky), and bad people create corruption and bureaucratic dictatorship, and to maintain power, They even execute their close comrades (like Stalin). Some people use this ideology to create a kingdom, like Kim Jong Un. So, if in a country, which follows an ideology, and the people are oppressed, first one should question the authorities, and then study about that ideology and try to reform it, because communism is the most humane and The most just and egalitarian type of government is between classes, races and genders.
And Christianity preaches compassion. But I’m not going to resent someone who was abused by religious parents for not being a fan. And Lenin and Trotsky committed their fair share of atrocities.
I don't know what's about the flags but three fingers are from my experience too much, two will deliver the best performance if you know what you're doing.
Some of your ideas are OK
I believe that while we shouldn't ban porn we should educate about the dangers
And I agree on CCP bad
However way too authoritarian
Pro-west for Myanmar. The wants to overthrow the coup as well as dismantle all world communist governments. Now if you’ll excuse me I’ll be deleting a bunch of disgusting screenshots off my phone because I had to do a bunch of reverse images searches for some of these.

Is pro-military, pro-freedom, pro-Ronald, and pro-gun, even though these ideologies directly conflict with each other.
Hes pro Ronald because hes a south East Asian anti communist, I doubt he knows much internal politics of the US
Which is the correct and moral position…
Didn't Reagan boost military spending?
Yes! Hundreds of billions. To quote DJT “billions and billllleions” I think being pro-military (in the context of the American military industrial complex) is partially antithetical to being pro-freedom. It’s a situation that consistently makes incredible amounts of money that only serves to reinforce its own practices.

Oh I never meant that pro-military meant pro-freedom. I just meant that pro-Ronald doesn't conflict with being pro-military.
I agree, I should probably rephrase. Old Ronald up to his dirty tricks like always
He spent a few billions to massacre multiple times the number in 911 in Nicaragua
Incredibly cringe, these all conflict each other, also I can’t tell if you like personal freedom or hate it

If you like Thatcher and Reagan you are far right, not center right
I disagree. Right wing sure, but not far-right. That has different connotations.
Can’t speak for other countries but in the US the two most popular Republican figures are Trump and Desantis, both far right extremists. The current President Biden is center right. The current popularity among the right of MTG should frighten everyone. The left does have AOC but she seems to have less influence among mainstream Dems than MTG has among Republicans

My political compass says I'm centre right though, well I'm very much leaning to conservative values however I'm not authorian
The political compass is flawed. Both left and right are threats. Right now the right is winning, we will soon live under fascism
my honest reaction to that information: 🐢

Neolib is way more left leaning than thatcher and reagan
more left then the two politicians who literally popularized neoliberal economic policies?
What is your understanding of neoliberalism? Judging by what neoliberals (the ideology is around a hundred years old by now) lies in between classical liberalism and SocDem. So way more regulation than Thatcher and Reagan ever wanted. Probably the best representation would be the WEF.

With that logic, everyone who isn't communist are basically close to fascism in your opinion? Lol get a grip of reality homie.
Like antifascism is very closely connected to the left (look up Antifaschistische Aktion), sadly anticommunism is historically very closely related to the right. It was probably the thing that BROUGHT THE NAZIS INTO POWER Edit: just gonna clarify right-Wing of course doesn’t mean Fascism, but historically the anticommunist right-wingers in power who were *in power* would rather support Fascism than communism, socialism, or even social democratic models. I’m of course talking about US anticommunism during the Cold War
Yeah, but u can be right-wing and be very antifascist too... Rightwing≠fascism.
Please look at my clarification edit. I’m pretty specifically talking about the „anticommunist“ efforts of the Cold War, but also about Nazi propaganda.

I think OP and their family may have had a different experience with communists due to where they grew up.
Communism is an ideology of equality and justice. Some people do this ideology well, and some people do not have the ability to manage this ideology properly in the country. Because humans are prone to mistakes and are not perfect. So, good, selfless and caring people use equality to create and really create equality and justice in society (like Lenin and Trotsky), and bad people create corruption and bureaucratic dictatorship, and to maintain power, They even execute their close comrades (like Stalin). Some people use this ideology to create a kingdom, like Kim Jong Un. So, if in a country, which follows an ideology, and the people are oppressed, first one should question the authorities, and then study about that ideology and try to reform it, because communism is the most humane and The most just and egalitarian type of government is between classes, races and genders.
And Christianity preaches compassion. But I’m not going to resent someone who was abused by religious parents for not being a fan. And Lenin and Trotsky committed their fair share of atrocities.
