See Also section

[edit]

Under the see also section, structural functionalism is listed. The article on structural functionalism directly says: "It is simplistic to equate the perspective directly with political conservatism" and cites a source; following this quote it states conflict theory can be seen as having a left-wing bent. I think either a removal or a further explanation in this article about how functionalism directly relates to right wing politics would be helpful. CalorusRex (talk) 00:26, 15 October 2017

Why is social/cultural liberalism listed as right-wing?

[edit]

Many people who identify as social/cultural liberals would object to being counted as right wing. Since the conception of left/right, social liberalism was usually a leftist project.

The political compass suggests splitting the political spectrum into an egalitarian (leftist) vs. economic liberal (rightist) dimension vs. an authoritarian/social liberal dimension. This reflects that eg. nazism is generally considered right wing and authoritarian, Soviet Union style communism is left wing and authoritarian. DarthBarth (talk) 07:30, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article does not mention social/cultural liberalism. It does mention "liberal conservatives" who stress small government and free markets, but that is very different from social or cultural liberalism. Rick Norwood (talk) 10:29, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Christer Pursainen due?

[edit]

We have a single paper presenting a WP:FRINGE view of the politics of the CPC hinged off a single book by a minor academic. h-index - 9 - doesn't indicate he's particularly influential in his field. I didn't delete this when I did my first pass on the China stuff because I was more focused on the failed verifications but now I'm asking: does anybody think this is due a specific pullout?

Anti-communism "needs additional citations "

[edit]

I added more citations to the Anti-communism section, so I think the template can be removed. Zyxrq (talk) 09:59, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Zyxrq Okay, good. BangladeshiEditorInSylhet (talk) 11:38, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Economics

[edit]

@User:Deva1995 If we are going to have images of Milton Friedman Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek, I think we should add a paragraph about the Austrian and Chicago schools of economics. Also I saved the image in the anti-communism section of the article. Zyxrq (talk) 14:09, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, paragraphs about the Austrian and Chicago schools should be added. Deva1995 (talk) 14:13, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also, do you agree that the anti communist section should realistically be made a sub section of the economic section? Zyxrq (talk) 14:16, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Why? The anti-communism section discusses economics very little. Deva1995 (talk) 14:43, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If anything I was just curious about your thoughts on the subject. It just feels weird to me that the economics section comes after the anti communism section. As being a anti communist is related to economics, it doesn't necessarily need to be a subsection though. I'm not necessarily for or against this change. Zyxrq (talk) 14:59, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
