Conservatism was pronounced dead over forty years ago by none other than Ayn Rand, perhaps the only true philosopher the right in America has ever had. Conservatives still have the gall to quote her and claim her as their own.

There is a more important axis, a “vertical” one if you will, authoritarian vs. libertarian. This axis cuts across the spectrum of nominally “leftist” and “right-wing” groups. The true dominant ideology Global Corporatism is a fusion of authoritarian right and left ideologies, and in the end has no ideology other than the memetic/viral pathology of power.

“Left” and “Right” are illusory distinctions used for purposes of dividing and ruling:
Industrial Psychology: A Global Control System
I Live in a Totalitarian Socialist State

Was there ever a more vague use of the word? What a liberal would deem “fair,” a libertarian would deem outrageously unjust. Affirmative action is considered “fair” by liberals, but such preferential treatment violates the very core of Martin Luther King’s dream, doesn’t it? There is no such thing as “reverse-racism;” only racism.

For instance, the new “hate crimes” legislation effectively creates thought-crimes. If you were to make a decision to randomly punch the next person who passed you, you had better hope they are not a minority, because, regardless of any intent, people’s rights and protections are NOT equal under the left. If the left truly wanted equality, they would be satisfied with the laws that punish attacks on all people, without regard to race, creed or gender. Such measures of TRUE fairness and parity do not interest those who only seek to construct a newer, smarter Big Brother.

The Individualists are meritocrats who think that human nature is flawed and cannot be perfected, so the best form of government is that which governs least yet empowers the individual. They believe in individual responsibility, equal opportunity and meritocracy.
How’s that for some counter stereotypes??

And thanks for telling me that apparently in Switzerland red is associated with the right… I honestly didn’t notice and here I was thinking I am a politcally interested Swiss… For me, red associates more closely with communism and socialism and therefore the left. Especially as our Social Democratic Party is almost truly socialist.
