the issue is 'communism left', 'capitalism right', which are economic policies.

which is separate from socially liberal/left.

100% on point.

The government interferes with the economy to influence our behavior, so economies are inherently tied to politics. Eg giving a tax break if you have a child, or applying tariffs to imported goods. Or even more broadly, globalization and colonialism.

The way each political party might interfere with each economic system and use it to regulate the people can be different as well. Theoretically, communism is anarchist in nature and moneyless, so the economic system would change the government, and the government would change the economic system.

I'm not sure if you're drunk, or just misread "policies" as "politics" or what.

But that made no sense.

Policies are result of politics. Politics creates policies.

...was that an attempt to be condescending and say "sweetie"? because it came out really creepy instead.

It's spelled sweaty, sweaty. It's OK you don't know how to spell

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

is it supposed to be an insult? are you trying to be funny? because it just makes you look stupid.

[–] LustyArgonianMana -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sweaty, I don't think I'm the one who looks stupid here

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

you don't think.
