Are you Left Wing or Right Wing?

[Tommy]

Are you more Left Wing or Right Wing?

For those who don't know what they are:

"Left wing beliefs are usually progressive in nature, they look to the future, aim to support those who cannot support themselves, are idealist and believe in equality. People who are left wing believe in taxation to redistribute opportunity and wealth - things like a national health service, and job seeker?s allowance are fundamentally left wing ideas. They believe in equality over the freedom to fail."

"Right wing beliefs value tradition, they are about equity, survival of the fittest, and they believe in economic freedom. They typically believe that business shouldn?t be regulated, and that we should all look after ourselves. Right wing people tend believe they shouldn?t have to pay for someone else?s education or health service. They believe in freedom to succeed over equality."

(Far Left would be Communism and Far Right would be something like Nazism).

I think it's better to compare right wing to Nationalism rather than Nazism to avoid confusion although Nazis were essentially Nationalists

I think I'm probably more right wing going on those descriptions. I'm not really sure as I take no interest or care for politics. Probably middle/right.

Far right isn't Nazism in terms of economics, Nazi's were on the left side of the economic spectrum, hence why it was made to appeal to labour workers and hence the name before Nazi "National Socialist Democratic Workers Party". Well, at least to begin with, though they hardly followed suit.
Myself, I'd be right wing economics.

Middle. I have beliefs that fall both on the left and right sides.
