Is the Left/Right political spectrum outdated?

- Political parties and voters tend to focus on where they land on the left-right political spectrum, but how accurate is it? And is there another method we could use to more accurately represent someone's political ideology?

Fun fact, The quadrant is not really accurate at all in showing a parties ideological beliefs.
We need 3d model
@@mmmoon6749 I'm saying a sphere shape
With a party; yes. Much more accurate with individuals.
Fun fact, the quadrant gives 2x more info than a left-right line.
Lmao the msm is only learning about multiple axes.
Me and the boys are already on 100 axes
Axis, Axis's, or Axises. Spellcheck will say the third is wrong, likely... but spellcheck is wrong about a lot of words. It's proper, though the comma version is preferable.
And the allies?
@@vitorsiIveira We don't talk about them.
Each party's platform was 75-110 pages. It is really hard to read that much political bluster especially when most parties don't even use point form.
I agree that it would be great if people really read them all but until the platforms become more digestible I am doubtful about readership.
In politics, the dividing line between Right and Left can be traced back to two obsessions:
- the first (the torment of the Right) is a phobia of elements perceived to be incompatible with commonly used models in society
- the second (the bane of the Left) is intolerance of models that appear to be imposed by society.
In order to capture the meaning of these lines, we need to step back in time and recall the turmoil we experienced early in life as we began the process of blending into society when, as kids, we entered Planet School- or more precisely, Planet Classroom.
Right there in the classroom we’ve all had to deal with a “problem kid”: “bad Johnny”- the student with the disrespectful, smug attitude and less than decent grades, the kid in the back that stole your lunch money, the chronic late-comer who seemed to own a single tattered and over-doodled notebook, the bully you best avoided if you didn’t want to find yourself running home bruised and with a ripped school uniform. The hopeless case that once had the nerve to show his privates to the girl in the second row and who always came back from the boys’ room reeking of cigarette smoke.
No doubt that “bad Johnny” has raised concerns- more for some than for others- within the classroom/society. However, we can’t forget that other classmate of ours who is at the root of perhaps even more devastating issues- “Peter goody-two-shoes”. He came from a good family, he always sat in the front row, paid attention in class, gave a helping hand to less fortunate people, had good manners, dressed smartly, respected the teachers, sported perfect hairstyles and neatly organized books. The one who carefully put his school supplies away at the end of class, who always did his homework, who had the best grades- the one who came to school early each morning and couldn’t seem to wait to get started.
He was a model to look up to, our term of comparison when we sensed we couldn’t be good enough in the world of social competition. In fact, Peter popped up- in more or less obvious ways- any time our parents scolded us or our teacher criticized us.
And it was “Peter good-two-shoes” who really bothered us- especially when we felt his weight bearing down on our heads- a behavioral model imposed upon us by society.
It is of the utmost importance to note that, for the purposes of this “treatise”, “Peter goody-two -shoes” should not be considered “good” in an absolute sense- but rather a model society sees in a positive light (not always rightfully so) and, more than that, tries to impose upon us. Similarly, “bad Johnny” does not have to be the bad guy- rather just something society -often erroneously- considers negative.
You can see how Peter goody-two-shoes bothers people who are emotionally Left-wing, while an aversion to bad Johnny is the hallmark of Right-wingers.

Wow
Damn, really good. Thanks for sharing this!
If I understood this correctly, this means that left wing people are bothered by people who manage to flourish in the model that society has put forth and branded as "good", while right wing people are bothered by people who do not fit in in the model society has put forth and branded as "good"?
This is of course excluding the discussion of if the model itself actually is good or bad for society.
@@christiangennari You understood perfectly. Transgression of the rules of society (to be associated with the left) is a good thing if the model on which society is based is wrong, while obedience to the rules of society (to be associated with the right) is a good thing if the model on which the company is based is valid.
Canada has failed me as a country. I HATE this country now ladies.
Feel free to leave
@@brownmut5518 Wished I could afford it !
Many brainwashed indoctrinated cultural marxist and communist in Canada and they love muslims who are religious fanatical cult but they hate christians all sorts of contradictions, like the army of eco green sjws who use nat gas to heat their home and have all sorts of consumer goods made with petroleum, easily led sheeps.
@@SpiTFir3z yes like there hasn't ever been cults of christianity. Also not every eco friendly person will switch over to more modern eco friendly heat for their home. And to say that liking muslims is Marxism you are definitely a "conservative".also it seems you are religious and hate muslims so wouldn't you be called a cult aswell for putting yourself above others in the since. You probably need to study politics or atleast do research before you make claims about how people who like muslims are communist.
Isn't Canada the best country in the world?
the political spectrum is garbage and you need three dimensions to meaningfully map ideologies
whats the 3rd about
@@GeneralArmorus well for a start, a single line is just a way of organizing ideologies relative to yourself and what you opinions on them are. a proper three dimensional chart would have an authortarian-libertarian, a social left-right, and an economic left-right acxis respectively. this would allow a meaningful distiction between neo-liberalism and social democracy for example (where while both of them are equally democratic and both are socially left, neolib economically right and socdem is economically left) and it would also allow niche ideologies to be marked accurately, such as national-bolshevikism (which is socially far right and economically far left authoritarian ideology).
@@efenty6235 ah i see, that'd be great
@@efenty6235 social left-right is already baked into authoritarian-libertarian
Haytham Kenway I see that too. I don’t think people want to admit one side is more authoritarian.
FREEDOM ! How much longer will we submit comply and obey before we rise
up ! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, for the love of GOD if we do not take a stand
now and stand up it will take a revolution later. Canadians no longer have any faith in politicians.
tbh the compass isn't even enough, there should be like minimum 3 axes:
cultural, social and economic
cultural being multiculturalism vs assimilation
social being auth vs lib
and economic being socialistic vs capitalistic obv
now there are ofc more axes but I think the 3 axes should be a minimum
I believe the best test would be something like 8values or 9axes
They all shifted left by a BIG margin. The only right wing party is People's Party of Canada.
For last 10 years I have been saying those values exist here when the majority have told me they do not
1) This is old news and I presume that most of the internet has moved on since the times when the compass was vogue.
2) The compass doesn't take into account realities on the ground. Anyone who is against immigration is considered far-right, anyone who privatizes is considered right-wing, etc... And if you've lived in Asia, then you'd understand that no-one honestly thinks that right/left political spectrum can apply to a country where there isn't a monarchy or Christian right.
The 21st century the left want a world of globalist hegemony enforced by the American military.
The right wants nation states .
@@robearl1983 lol found the rightoid
it was done by deceitful means though, and they shout down any one who points it out.
Excellent video, a bit simplistic but it's a great start. :)
“Election Is No Time to discus Issue”………..Brittany Andrew Amofah sounds like Kim Campbell from 1993! 😉
It’s Not Left, It’s Not Right, It’s FORWARD!

Look alright whenever anyone thinks of someone on the top left they think USSR and when they go to the top right they think nazis but no one thinks about a political party associated with the bottom left or the bottom right
Can we change that let’s get ancap and ancom
Libertarians and anarcho syndicalism
@@vitorsiIveira yeah that’s a group of people but no one has formed a country on those principles
@@mrtortoise3766 thats false. anarchist societies exist right now and have for a while.
@@kx7500 like?
@@mrtortoise3766 one example would be the zapatistas.
Short answer: it has been since WW2.
did anyone else get magically subscribed to this channel? i've never click on it before and now it's spamming my inbox.. is this how youtube is forcing propaganda onto us now? swapping out our subscriptions? losing good channels left and right these days... now also gaining new ones... how convenient
I renounced p.o.s Canada', it's governments and people and my canadians citizenship when I rejected the ballots at the last provincial and federal elections. So what have you and canadian citizenship to do with me Oh Canada. Especially when I never wanted Canada to force citizenship on me on my first birthday in the first place.
Yes absolutely, right left wing ideology is extremely faulty,it brings unnecessary polarization and growth hampering
I have absolutely nothing in common with the right wing. I don't have the same beliefs. I certainly am not voting for Pierre Polivere.
Merry Chritmas and an great year 2020.
God bless you ! ! !

Im p sure capitalism isnt centre
Competitive vs Collaborative
Conservative vs Progressive
Libertarian vs Authoritarian
what a load of cobblers
Where is Canada's Overton window?
Is it far right like America?
america isnt far right, its centrist af
and so is the rest of the western world
@@-simaguang9451 excepted in Brazil
yes, canada is right wing, and america is far right.
I'm a socially conservative communist and a living example of how flawed the basic left-right political system is. Socially I'm right wing but economically I'm almost as far left as you can go.
Why not progressivism?
Question is: are you a libertarian communist or an authoritarian one? If you're a libertarian communist, you might be socially conservative but let others choose for themselves. If you're on the authoritarian side of things, not so much.
@@arthurmorgan1550 Too basic
Are you a Nazbol then? How socially conservative are you? Are you just moderately socially conservative like me, who dislikes cancel culture and cultural Marxists? Or are you a full blown Reactionary who hates minorities? (I hope not)
this is actually consistent. you believe in both economic regulation and social regulation, goes hand in hand.
Of course it shows the Liberals as being perfectly in the middle, and CPC far right. Liberals are centre left, Conservatives centre right.
The problem is that everyone in a modern western liberal democracy sees themselves as pro-freedom and their definition of that reflects it.
☭ I do Follow the Following People according to the Test Respectively ☭:

The test said I was liberal but I know I am not self-righteous.
I don’t make people villains to think I am a hero.
I don’t believe in censorship.
And I don’t think workers should slave their whole life for the poor. There is a better way.
None of that defines someone on the left
Im also pretty sure they got authoritarism wrong😑
I'm top far right liberal libertarian. I feel more libertarian conservative. I think Trudeau is more authoritarian like Stalin.
@The Canadian guy are your actually insane?
@The Canadian guy "These other parties are all the same". This is one of the most embarrassingly wrong things I've ever heard.
@The Canadian guy I hesitate to respond because this is just so idiotic. Mass immigration isn't a problem. Foreign aid isn't a problem. Funding the UN isn't a problem. Pandering to climate activists, are you insane. Both of the major parties have awful plans on climate. Have you ever heard of the teams mountain pipeline? This xenophobic, selfish attitude is what keeps us from a fair country, and a prosperous economy. I'm sick of this garbage that "wealth distribution" is bad. High taxes in the rich time and time again both help the vast majority of citizens and the economy at large. It genuinely scares me that people like you can't think to the future, and you can only think of your success right now.
I'll agree with you on corporate bailouts though.
@Robert Johnson If you're against immigration you're factually against economic growth for the country.
@@donk3618 it's all about our freedom. We are done helping I don't want to help big business either. I want full control of my life. You leftys need a leader, I don't, I need public survants that's it. I'll tell them what I want if I don't get it they don't get a vote. No forced help. I'll agree to health care and military. Everything else is un necessary crap that only greedy people need and f them.
Nah. Just the right.
😂 liberals in the center
center left
If yoir looking from the European point of view then the professor is correct. If your looking from an American point of view then he is totally wrong. For canadians we are a mix of both European and American thinking values and politics. For an American the far right is libertarianism and the extreme right is anarchism. 8n England the idea would be similar to Canada. For an American the spectrum is 1 line going from right to left and it is based on the size of government and its controls over the lives of its citizens. Which moves them further and further left. Fascism is deeply authoritarian and so to an American it is far left. It has deep controls over the economy and often has deep social programs to the extent of nazis being socialists. Just not of the international sort. Fascists are always deep in social programs and in control of the economy.
fascism is centrist.
now if you excuse me i have a centricide to commit
Anarchism is leftist. Anarchism is anti-capitalist, and most of its traditional variants are types of socialism. "Anarcho-capitalism" would be "right wing anarchism", but it's in effect not anarchism, all they do is co-opt the name.
Of course it's not outdated MATTHEW 25:33 KJV tells all that need be known.
No the spectrum is never outdated.
says the brainwashed man who can't think for himself
Lol.. the liberals and NDP are far left, the conservatives in Canada are left, the only right wing party in Canada is the people's party.
CBC loves Propaganda.

The Overton window in Canada has (unfortunately) crept to the left, so much so that it’s a cartoonish extent.
