Le Epic Horseshoe Theory (Fallacy)!

The bloody chart is giving me a headache

You idiot, the more different things get, the more similar they become. Its political science 101 kid go back to school.

>Russia has less economic and individual liberty than Saudi Arabia

When was the last time women weren't able to drive, gays were thrown from buildings, and they held public executions where they throw boulders at a guy's head for looking at porn in Russia?

This chart is retarded. This theory is retarded. You are retarded for using it, OP, kys.

To answer your question: I'm going to make it US-centric and say Eisenhower.

He was a conservatist, and pragmatist in office.

>>3035180
I'm in school studying political science and the horseshoe theory is horseshit. Positions aren't right just because they begin with an argument from moderation or the centre.

>>3034917
what kind of retarded chart is this

the horshoe represents how extremists hold the same "listen and believe" and "the end justifies the means" mentality no matter the ideology. It doesn't represent any spectrum at all and the center does not represent centrism in any way or form.

And "centrism" as the gringo buzzword presents it is ultimately synonymous with pragmatism. Complete lack of ideology. People like Macri (an engineer) and to a lesser degree Obama where that. >>3035460 is probably right too

The "center" in 2017 is a very different thing from the "center" in 1917, or even the "center" of 1960.

So how do you call yourself a "centrist" when the "center" keeps changing?

You have the liberty to live in a progressive and egalitarian society. That is liberty.

>>3037337

I hope you're being ironic and 'liberty' hasn't become as much of a meme word as 'liberal'.

Tony Blair

Tonibler

I've never seen somebody take a real attempt at placing ideologies along a horseshoe spectrum. The fact that Nazism is in a Venn diagram overlapping communism is absolutely laughable. There's no evidence in support of that conjecture besides "b-but, i-it's national S-SOCIALISM!"

Somehow you guys seem to get really upset and then follow up with zero sources to defend your point. I get the feeling that pic nailed it.

>>3037292
Politics is done in the present so of course the only measurement of ideologies is done in the present. Stalin's brand of commies would be considered national socialists by today's commies.
