Who had the worse record at dissident suppression? Right wing

left/right dichotomy is pretty dumb, but if I had to pick it would be left.

NKVD and the Stasi come to mind.

>>2329915
At some point there is really little difference between the 2. There is also not a lot of difference between living under a christian inquisition as a protestant and being a shia in isis controlled territory. And the list goes on. Ideology doesn't change the way people behave. It's just an excuse for control.

>>2329915

Definitely the right. The left suppressed dissent far more effectively.

>>2329915
It really does not matter. All dictatorships suppress dissidents in the most brutal way.

>>2329951
Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

It's about the scale, not how autistic they were about it

Applying the left/right dichotomy here is pretty dumb, for a number of reasons:

- Many of history's most brutal regimes routinely ignored ideological doctrine in favor of expediency, as was clearly the case for both the Soviets and the Nazis, for instance. Hence, even calling them left or right wing is questionable.

- The question also somehow implies that there is something inherent in either the left or the right that makes it more violent or oppressive, yet the most brutal aspects of these regimes often tended to be a result of other factors than ideology, for instance psychotic individuals or in response to an equally brutal opposition, rather than anything particular to their doctrine.

I'm sure there are more reasons that other posters will clarify.

>>2329966

Are you seriously suggesting the left didn't suppress dissidence on a greater scale?

Left wins on scale and brutality, solely thanks to Pol Pot, Stalin and Mao. But I'm with >>2329937, >>2329942, and >>2329951, at this point it doesn't matter, they're all shits.

>>2329979
Greater scale is not the same as effectiveness.

>>2330106

Well certainly scale needs to go hand and hand with other factors in order to be effective but you aren't going to be truly effective in crushing dissident unless you lock up / execute / torture a suitably large number of people.

All depends

>>2329915
Autistic-ly would be the Right, Brutality would be the left.

There hasn't been a single right wing dictatorship, so obviously the left.
National Socialists, Fascists, Communists, all are far-left ideologies. The 'far-right' terminology has been pushed by Communists to differentiate them from the NS's and Fascists.

>There is also not a lot of difference between living under a christian inquisition as a protestant and being a shia in isis controlled territory.
Bullshit, and you know it. The 'terror' of inquisition has been subject to such a massive propaganda and lies, it's unbelivable. I have hard time believing that you've read any academic history on the subject.

>>2331073
What would a far right dictatorship look like then?

>>2331073
Can we just label them collectivists and be done with it?

>>2331099
Who the hell knows, when there hasn't been one. In fact, its completely impossible to have right wing dictatorship or at most it would be a 'dictatorship' of industries, but not of any form of government.

>>2331103
>Can we just label them collectivists and be done with it?
That is not so clear label either, because there was the slight difference in this matter between commies and nazos and fascists, that the latter two didn't push collectivization of agriculture, but all did 'nationalization' of the industry or state capitalism.

>>2331121
Of course, if you meant the other definition of 'collectivists', then sure. Richard Pipes surely seem to agree in his 'Russian Revolution'.

>>2331116
Dictatorship generally requires authoritarianism. Hypothetically it could exist without authoritarianism but it'd hard to conceptualize. Absolute monarchy with loose control over the individual may fit into this category.

There have been many socially conservative dictatorships, which would be described as "right wing". There are unlikely to be economically liberal dictatorships because economic liberalism often requires individual liberty which is generally incompatible with abusive dictatorship.

>>2329915
Nazbol.
China drove over people with tanks in 89.
Milosevic broke demonstrations against him in Serbia with tanks, months before the war started.

How about they are both spooky murder machines and we should throw them in the fucking trash along with all the other spooks.

Pol Pot was a reactionary.

Literally kill yourself.

Friendly reminder dissidents are degenerate trash and there is nothing wrong with putting them feet first into a compactor.

Give me one (1) reason that the kind of person that resists a totalitarian regime knowing the consequences shouldn't be removed from the gene pool.

Stubbornness, foolhardiness and pigheadedness are not traits that should propagate.

>>2333873
How about "totalitarian regimes are shit?"

>>2333880
According to you.

I'm sure the average citizen of Pyongyang is much happier than the average citizen of Baltimore.

The founding fathers were criminalist scum.

No.

The trash needs to be taken out and totalitarianism is perfect for it.

>>2333911
I mean, most forms of government have their flaws, but I'd personally rather live in a free country than a regime.

>>2333918
Because the last totalitarian societies that opposed the international criminal Jewish banking cartel died in 1991, all totalitarianism regimes that remain are religious or fascistic.

>>2333923
Ok. Still I'd rather the USA, than NK or the Third Reich.

He was. He was a conservative communism. He combined the two most horrible ideologies in the world and made the nazis look like amateurs who only killed the jews for shit and giggles as a side project.

When the sun slips into its next life cycle and consumes the Earth within its radius. Honestly, I'm optimistic.

Right wing dictatorships usually last as long as the dictator is alive. Can't really think of any successful transfer of power outside monarchies like Saudi Arabia. Maybe Syria, but it still blew up later. Or Iran but it's not ruled by one dictator, it's this weird authoritan republic with checks and balances in place.
