Notice how he doesn’t say what the most fundamental difference in values separating left from right actually is?

Because if he did, the tweet never would have taken off, because 99% of the right can’t say what the most fundamental right-wing belief is

Strangely… Feels like the overwhelming majority of the left CAN more or less correctly point out what the most fundamental left-wing belief is

= “equity”

I.e. equality of outcome, wealth redistribution equally among all, at the expense of any kind of property rights (often warping what’s “equal”, but still)

The left correctly identifies their fundamental belief is, and they overwhelmingly agree on it.

Why can’t the right?

Perhaps because the overwhelming majority are very left leaning at heart, and the right doesn’t want to lose those who believe they’re right-wing but are not.

Perhaps not.

Classic political compass is correct, the fundamental dimension separating left from right is the allocation of value,

- left = economic left, “equity” to (re)distribute wealth, equality of outcome

- right = economic right, markets to distribute weslth, non-equal outcome, merit-based outcome, using meritorious measures of merit, property rights

(yes national borders can be seen as property rights)

(second dimension is about allocation of control)

Of course, a quick skim of this tweet thread shows that those supposedly on the right can’t seem to agree on what is the most fundamental right-wing belief at all

Political compass was right

Fundamental left-right dimension is economic

No you absolute retards

Nationalism or so-called racism is not the fundamental belief of the right

TONS, the vast majority, of undeniably extremely left-wing movements through out the ages, and today, have been extremely nationalistic or so-called racist

Plenty of examples of such communist governments even today

That either of these could be the fundamental beliefs “proving” that you’re right-wing is clear nonsense on its face

All of the most left-wing governments of all time would be right-wing by this measure

Even wokipedia admits this

Makes zero sense

Not a real answer,

But yes, true, especially of the lib-right

Exactly one most obvious way to split everything equally, per the left belief

= equally split among everyone

Left has one obvious most ideal measure of merit, even if junk — equally split

No analogous single best concrete measure of merit for the right

Hundreds of replies to that tweet,

All nonsense,

Zero attempt at a real answer

Vast majority clearly incapable of understanding the very concept of meritorious measures and mechanisms for allocation of value and control

Hayek, or whoever his ghost writer was, was right

To understand our civilisation, one must appreciate that the extended order resulted not from human design or intention but spontaneously: it arose unintentionally

The unwitting, reluctant, even painful adoption of these practices …. enabled them to be 'fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it'

This process is perhaps the least appreciated facet of human evolution

Many easily understand what the left is, and can see its evil, can understand it’s bad to support that

Very few can really understand what is the right
