And yet I, on the far right, have never even heard of these people...

It's not screwy. It's far more rational and consistent than the "political" spectrum I was taught in highschool, with collectivists on the far left and collectivists on the far right.

It began with the Pournelle axes, with one axis subsequently being dropped.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pournelle_...

The wikipedia entry has the chart reversed left-right from the one I saw in Pournelle's book.

Murray Rothbard is a favorite economist of the political right, and he openly endorsed deliberate historical revisionism.

W. Cleon Skousen is another favorite political writer of conservatives, and though he didn't openly advocate it, he was nevertheless guilty of egregious historical revisionism.

Paul B. Skousen, son of Cleon Skousen, has also followed in the footsteps of his father, engaging in significant amounts of historical revisionism as well.

Right, and I agree with you on that point, but that doesn't disprove my assertion that Socialism is bipartisan, and therefore can manifest on the political right just as easily as it can on the political left.

...Where on earth did you get such a screwy definition for left and right?

Nice try. right-wingers don't try to revise history. They try to unrevise the left's "interpretation".

So you're saying socialism is an abstract talking point that can never ever exist. Or can only exist briefly between social states, as anarchy does.

Not the political left... the philosophical left. The political left is populated by the philosophical left.

Left side of spectrum - total collectivist control. Think "Anthem".

Right side of spectrum - anarchy. Total individualism. Every man for himself.

There exist plenty of facts. It's simply right-wing historical revisionists in America that refuse to accept the reality of history.

Alright, fair enough. But what makes you think that collectivist mentality is exclusive to the political left?

I just posted an essay written by Vladimir Lenin himself in which he complains about Leftists and Liberals. The only logical conclusion that can be drawn from that is that Lenin was neither a Liberal nor a Leftist, otherwise he would not complain about them. This utterly refutes your claim that Socialism is inherently part of the political left. Are you really going to sit there and deny such strong evidence as this?

Social philosophy that places the whole at greater importance than the individual.

Spock summed up the collectivist philosophy in Star Drek II: The Wrath of What'sisname:

Spock: "That is wise. Were I to invoke logic, however, logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. "
(never have I ever hated any Star Trek villain as much as I hated Spock for uttering that blasphemy).

And the evil within the collectivist philosophy is that it permits any unspeakable horror, any insane injustice to be perpetrated on the few, or the one, in the name of the collective, the state, the "public good".

(Aside: My favorite Star Drek movie was "Star Drek IV: Spock Saves the Whales"... Not because it was so entertaining, but because Spock's mommy sets things right:

" Amanda: Spock, does the good of the many out weigh the good of the one?

"Spock: I would accept that as an axiom.

"Amanda: Then you stand here alive because of a mistake made by your flawed, feeling, human friends. They have sacrificed their futures because they believed that the good of the one - you - was more important to them. "

This is where true civilization first began.
Human life is not additive.

Btw, Star Trek IV contains some objectivist, or at least Randian, philosophy. The computer testing Spock asks:

Vulcan Computer: "What was Kiri-Kin-Tha's first law of metaphysics?"

And Spock answers:
Spock: "Nothing unreal exists."

I disagree; fascism is the same as communism and socialism; the collective takes precedent over the individual, whether you call the collective "the state" or "the people".

Actually, the word "Nazi" is just shorthand for "National" according to its German pronunciation (Natsional).

From Wikipedia:
---
"The full name of Adolf Hitler's party was Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (National Socialist German Workers' Party). The shorthand Nazi was formed from the first two syllables of the German pronunciation of the word "national" (IPA: [na-tsi̯-o-ˈnaːl])."

Wrong. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Here's an essay you might want to read:

"Left-Wing Communism: an Infantile Disorder," by Vladimir Lenin

Define "collectivist."

I gotta stop liking tv shows. I like The Nightstalker, it gets canceled. I like Firefly, and it gets canceled. It's like the networks use me as a negative barometer...
