Depends on how you view things. Most people on the Greek right believe free markets and economic liberalism are fundamentals of the right wing, so GD is placed by us on the political left.

Nazism and fascism are rightist ideologies. The right isn't exclusive to capitalism, it's a broad term that also covers monarchies and theocracies and Nazis. The right is characterized by hierarchies, which the Nazis fall under. They're not ascended from general politics.

We can bring back Greeks who are in diaspora. Also we already have Albanian and Pakistani immigrants to help with labor (and have no problem with them) and a lot of unemployed Greeks, we don't need more.

First of all there is no mask off, I’m gay so I literally can’t be a national socialist. Props for trying to act tough though I’m sure my Jewish relatives will have a laugh.

Since we were talking about certain postions I liked about the GD I’ll consider it on topic.


The objective truth is that National Socialiam is part of then Third Posistion, it rejects both capitalism and Marxism.

I'm speaking pretty rhetorically, anyways. Although, I know a lot of Greek-Americans, that diaspora is staying put at the very least, as is most diaspora in America.

Either way, I'm amazed this thread is still going. I don't think it's controversial to stake out that middle ground of saying "Greece can control who they let in, but they shouldn't set people adrift," but I suppose it continues to ruffle feathers.

Left and right are much broader terms than you seem to believe. Communists, anarchists, syndicalists, democratic socialists, etc. are all leftists, and monarchists, fascists, and capitalists are all rightists.

Golden Dawn is against gays.

On the other hand our liberal Prime Minister is both against illegal immigration and has stated his support for LGBT rights. Look at this tweet:

They're on the right, and they would be even if anarcho-capitalism wasn't an oxymoron.

Hierarchies are a fundamental part of capitalism, and as "an"caps wouldn't abolish that they really aren't anarchists at all.

All societies have some kind of hierarchy, even loose ones. If hierarchies is definition of right, then 99% of people are right wing.

I mean, sure, you can't be an Orthodox Nazi, but it's not as if there aren't people who've adopted most of the Nazi platform that Hitler would've considered anathema-take this nice young Croatian Nazi

The objective truth is that National Socialiam is part of then Third Posistion, it rejects both capitalism and Marxism.

There is more to the political spectrum than the left right axis you learnt about in grade nine.

Political Theory 101 it is, then.
So, the political spectrum can be divided among three major Axis: Hierarchy, Authority, and Progressivism. Capitalism is a right-wing hierarchy because it endorses a merit based, internally fluid yet externally solid hierarchy by which people rise and fall upon their supposed Merits. Marxism is a left wing school of thought because it rejects hierarchy as something natural or desirable. This is what places them upon opposite sides of the scale, though not inherently diametric ones. Third Positionism and Nazism both endorse a very strong hierarchy in which the State is the ultimate expression of such, all thing subject to it. "Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State", as Mussolini would say. However, the trick is the marketing, by which they proclaim to have transcended traditional politics. They have not. As in everything else with fascism, this too rings hollow.
Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.
