The idea that there aren't collectivists on the right is odd. That's who the Nazis, Fascists, and Neocons are.
Discussion
Right wing coalitions never hold together very long because they don’t have the necessary collectivist ideology
Collectivism also fails in the fullness of time because they diverge too far from the truth and get outcompeted by more liberal systems
The Neocons held together for an annoyingly long time, and arguably are still around. Though admittedly, calling them "right wing" isn't quite accurate -- there were some on the right, and some that we think of anyway as more on the left. Certainly in both parties anyway.
Nazis and fascists had it going for awhile too, but there was that whole skirmish in the 40's, leading to...heck Idk what point on the silly one dimensional spectrum to call the Bretton Woods/NATO order.
I guess the reason I commented initially is that right wing has a lot of baggage. Individualist policy at a governance level, traditional values at home (but enforced societally, rather than legally), and non-interventionist foreign policy is certainly not representative of the larger umbrella of the right. I think you and I agree it'd be nice to see that change, and I'm actually somewhat optimistic we're slowly drifting in that direction, but it's not where we're at yet.
Largely agree
Liberalism is a right wing ideology.
Wake the fuck up
Be careful with your definitions. Communism, Socialism, Marxism, Leninism, (i.e. leftist) are all forms of Collectivism. Neocons are a particular breed of foreign-policy ideolgos only attributed to the "right". I can't think of a "Conservative " group that advocates collectivism.
Because you are brainwashed to think that politics is a sliding scale instead of a spectrum.
It's ok, you're American, your entire education system and Media exist to brainwash and indoctrinate you to think like this, but you can still break free from it.
Just think for yourself instead
I dont believe "politics" is a scale, or a spectrum. Its a philosophy, backed by force. And I disagree with it.
Fascism and Nazism are both right wing ideologies.
It's worth remembering the context of where right and left arose: the French revolution.
Nobody was pushing individual liberties and free market capitalism.
The words "Fascism" and "nazism," and "socialism" and "communism" "marxism", "leninism" and "capitalism" were around before we thought in term of left/right thinking. Its an example of gross simplicity fallacy.
We need to get back to definition of terms. Leave right/left behind and let's talk philosophy. Most of the "isms" are just a rebranding of older ideas mean to enslave us. With the exception of Individualism. Individual freedom is antithetical to both the current right, and left.
