That IS what it means lmfao.

Do you think an Amish president would be leftwing if they demanded we return to 1600s technology and laws?

What if someone demanded we return to colonial times, is that left wing?

You are laughing while I am profoundly annoyed by your complete and utter ignorance. The fact is that the communists in Russia and China are regarded as conservatives. That is a fact that is known by educated people.

Lol link a source then for this claim, since every educated person knows it

Communism (from Latin communis, 'common, universal')[1][2] is a left-wing to far-left sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology within the socialist movement,[1] whose goal is the creation of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered around common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products to everyone in the society based on need.

Did you see that? It's leftwing. Communism by definition is left wing.

But conservatism doesn't mean right wing. Conservatism means traditionalism. If your parents don't let you date until your 18 and say no sex before marriage we say they are conservative / traditional. It has nothing to do with any specific political ideology. It depends what is traditional in your country. You really missed out on a basic education.

socially right wing. conservative means social policies which maintain the status quo and resist change. Same as socially right wing. Allowing women to vote was a change, and was inclusive - both socially left wing. (That is, there are absolutely political ideologies that align with this)

there's also economically right wing, which is capitalism, or economically left, which is socialism, and eventually communism.

The person you're replying to is absolutely retarded, there is no doubt - but you're not correct in this area either.

You agreed with me and then you said I was wrong. All I am doing is explaining the meaning of words.
