The Political Spectrum: Understanding the Grossly Misunderstood, Especially by Citizens or Followers of the United States of North Central, Central, North America.

"Withering away of the state" is THE Prime concept of Marxism, POSSIBLY coined by Friedrich Engels, and referring to the idea that, with realisation of the ideals of Communism/Socialism, the social institution of a state will eventually become obsolete and disappear, as the society will be able to govern itself without the state and its coercive enforcement of the law.

Although Engels is credited as co-writer, the final draft of the **Communist/Socialist Manifesto** was penned exclusively by Marx. In all, the **Socialist/Communist Manifesto** was written over 6–7 weeks. 

Unfortunately, it is true; if the so-called Anarchist allows themselves to become complacent the circle CAN become complete taking us right back to Feudalism/Fascism, and  Capitalist/Corporate Totalitarianism. 

NOTE: Not only was Lenin not a disciple of Marx/Communism/Socialism; he was the extreme opposite. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, better known by the alias Lenin, was an extreme Russian Fascist Totalitarian; revolutionary, politician and political theorist. He served as Head of Government/Political State of Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1924 and would be dictator of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924.

Two of the things I find most frustrating are misinformation combined with misunderstanding. Today, I am turning my attention once more to politics and to what is probably the most misunderstood area regarding politics–The Political Spectrum.

Meaningful political discourse, if indeed there exists or can exist any such thing; begins with a correct understanding of one’s own political positions as well as that of your audience on any variety of topics or issues.  The coin of the political realm is language.  Therefore, if we are not beginning the discussion with an accurate view of the landscape, including the correct vocabulary of concepts and ideology and where those ideologies line up on the political spectrum, then the exchange will not be genuinely meaningful. Before we examine people’s misnomered misconceptions of politics, it is critical to understand the general difference between “Left” or “Left Wing” and “Right” or “Right Wing.”  The terms “Left” and “Right” actually originate in the 18th century French Legislature where those loyal to the King and to religion sat on the right while those opposed to the King and were in favour of revolution sat on the left.

“Left Wing” and “Right Wing” today denotes a spacial placement along the political spectrum.  The “Left”, if correctly displayed, will be on the left-hand side of the spectrum, while the “Right” should be represented on the right side of the spectrum.  The spectrum runs from left to right based on the ideology’s and or party’s concept of the scope of government which serves as the foundation.

 Generally speaking, common but grossly incorrect thinking is that the left believes that the government is the solution to our problems and the larger and more intrusive the government, the better.  It is often, again very incorrectly that representative of this side of the spectrum are large dictatorial totalitarian governments, Monarchism, Communism and Communism’s Marxist stepbrother, Socialism in all its varied forms including Lenin’s Bolsheviks, originally also Bolshevists or Bolshevik Île and or Mousseline style Fascism and their more racially motivated arm–Nazism.

Supposedly, or according to common American thinking; “The Right”, typically are thought to believe that, in the words of Ronaldus Magnus, “The Government is not the solution to our problems, the Government is the problem.”  This, of course, is fundamental Marxist/Communist/ Socialist belief and ideology.

Now, let’s take a look at our example (top of the page) of educated truth. For starters, and what should be patently obvious to someone who has a modicum of political savvy, is that they have the “A” symbol which represents Anarchy or no government at all, as the farthest left position possible on the spectrum!  In other words, this is teaching that Marxism/Communism/Socialism, THE LEFT taken to the nth degree will result in no government at all.  Which is absolutely//irrefutably undeniably completely correct.

Take note: Monarchism, Nazism and Fascism are all placed to the right of Conservatism which is also completely correct. Con-serve it to yah-it is as verified so far in the Twit-Hitler Trump-ette regime is utter complete fanatical, irrational, psychopathic/sociopathic. TOTALITARIAN DICTATORSHIP. Al (Alex-Alexander)D.
