To answer the original question, for the UK. Left Wing = Labour Party, Right Wing = Conservatives.

 

If you want to go extreme left wing, you would be Communist while extreme right wing would be Fascist.

 

nice that clears it up.

Woah I have communist tendencies?

Remember communism isn't necessarily bad if implemented properly. When most people think communist they think of failed shit like Cuba and Russia which wasn't just communist.

 

A lot of people here in the US drive me crazy. Because they see shit on TV/buy into every stupid piece of propaganda there is and they vote against their own interests without even knowing it because they just don't understand.

 

Just look at these idiots, and these aren't even close to being the worst one's I've seen:

To simply put it: left = liberals, right: conservatives. All-around that is; disregarding distinction of being, for example, socially liberal yet fiscally conservative (e.g. fuck family values, but let's spend wisely).

Liberals over here chucked their votes in with the conservatives.

Seems like every average American sees the rise of socialism in everything.

 

Yeah I know, it's fucking stupid. I don't know how this started because there really isn't any socialist anything.

Finally someone who sees things like i do on that topic
