Is it left radical or right radical?

First, radical means extreme left and extreme right, and left and right are relative concepts. In China, the left and the right, the left conservatively adheres to Mao Zedong Thought, while the right advocates reform and opening up and develops relations with the West.

China's right belongs to the left even by the standards of the western left, so China is called a far-left country in the west.

Second, even in western countries, there are differences between left and right standards. Compared with the United States, Europe is left, and the United States is right. In the United States, the Democratic Party belongs to the right, and even the views of the Democratic Party are right in Europe. However, it should be noted that the United States is not a far-right country, but a right-wing country. The United States is very tolerant and respects personal values. In the West, racism and xenophobia (that is, strong nationalism) belong to the extreme right, so the extreme right and the extreme left are relatively close (both are strong nationalism and xenophobia, and the West is characterized by immigrants and races, and China strongly opposes foreign cultural ideas such as the West).

Third, let's take the United States as an example: although both the left and the right in the United States advocate freedom and equality. But they are different.

Generally speaking, the left-wing democratic party belongs to the left-wing party in the United States (most of the views of the American media are left-wing media, so the Democratic Party is called liberal instead). Left-wing parties pay more attention to equality, so they hope to solve problems and take care of vulnerable groups with government actions. The way the government solves problems is a way to govern the so-called elite groups.

In addition, left-wing parties generally hold the concept of moral relativism (same-sex has the right to get married, animal rights are equal to human rights, pacifists are opposed to the death penalty, etc.). Therefore, in the United States, the supporters of the Democratic Party have always been the two ends of the social class, the richest (elite) and the poorest, as well as moral relativism.

In the United States, XX, XX and XX belong to the right-wing political parties, representing the grassroots forces in the United States. They pay more attention to individual freedom and the government is small. The government cares less about people's affairs and doesn't use coercion (people themselves know what they should do). They believe that if the government is too big, it will not only infringe on individual rights, but also cause inefficiency and corruption. Therefore, encourage private institutions to take responsibility (private institutions are efficient and provide good services) and reduce excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Believe in the absoluteness of morality, believe in a transcendental moral concept (that is, there is a moral bottom line), oppose same-sex marriage, oppose abortion, and treat evil uncompromisingly.

X can actually be seen from a few simple examples.

For example, 1, the comprehensive medical insurance in the United States, the Democratic Party advocates comprehensive medical insurance to take care of the vulnerable groups, while the Party and the Party resolutely oppose it, believing that the government is infringing on individual freedom by expanding rights and compulsory medical insurance, and is worried that the government is inefficient in medical insurance bureaucracy and wasting taxpayers' money.

2. Right to bear arms: The Democratic Party believes that bearing arms has caused some casualties, so it should be prohibited to hold guns. * * * and the party support the possession of guns and believe that people have the right to protect themselves, which is higher than state power. Guns can be used for self-defense in good hands and can be turned into killing tools in bad hands, so the problem lies in people's morality, not in owning guns.

Fourth, knowing the left and right views of the United States, Europe is more clear. Compared with the United States, European countries are more left, so European governments pay more attention to equality, so the welfare is higher than that of the United States. Therefore, Europeans rely more on welfare lazy people, and Americans are more diligent and have lower moral requirements than the United States. Higher than the United States, which means that Europe is open and the United States is conservative. Among them, the left and right in European countries will be relatively different, and the emphasis on equality will be different.

Verb (abbreviation of verb): similarities and differences between American right and China left;

1. Because the American Rightists believe in an absolute moral existence, they are tougher in dealing with international affairs, never give in to evil, and advocate the establishment of a strong national defense, while the American leftists are mostly moral relativists, so they are more attractive to international affairs and more tolerant of other values.

2. So in terms of whether the left in China is tough or not, it is almost the same as the right in the United States, but the left in China is a moral relativist (does not believe in the existence of absolute value), but it does take * * * productive morality as the highest standard, so it cannot tolerate other values. Therefore, the American right is similar to the China left in tolerance of other values, but the American right believes in the existence of transcendental absolute value (God), which is the most thorough with the China left.

3. American Rightists advocate freedom and pay attention to personal values, while China leftists enforce equality (implement public ownership) and emphasize and praise collective greatness. As a result, the right in the United States resolutely opposes dictatorship, while the left in China insists on one-party dictatorship, which leads to nominal collective deified leadership and praises it. As a result, American Rightists cherish and admire American democratic values more, while China leftists admire Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought more, and they are all conservatives in their own countries. Although they all maintain the current domestic system, they are completely different in nature and completely opposite.

6. Similarities between the Western Left Wing and the China Right Wing

Left and right are relative concepts. China is a leftist country relative to the west, so it is not surprising that China's right view is close to the west. China's right advocates openness, pays attention to people's livelihood, and pays attention to equality and freedom of all people (compared with the left), while the western left also emphasizes equality in the democratic concept of freedom, equality and fraternity, and advocates elite rule to solve the interests of vulnerable groups. For a small government like the right wing, there are some differences in its view of completely advocating individual freedom.

Therefore, from the perspective of their respective countries, the right wing in China advocates changing the current system, while the left wing in the West also tries to change some traditional concepts of small government, so they have similarities here. In addition, China Rightists advocate easing the relationship with the West because they advocate opening up and reforming the current system, and will pay more attention to strengthening the relationship with the West and learning from the current system in the West. From the perspective of leftist China, they are weak in the outside world, while the western leftists are more appeased and more tolerant of other values in international affairs, so from the perspective of right-wing western countries, they are also weak, so they are close in this respect.

But they are also different in essence, that is, although the western left emphasizes equality, it pays more attention to individual freedom (smaller than the right, of course), and the left and right equality in western countries pays more attention to human dignity, value and equality of opportunity (relatively speaking, the right emphasizes dignity and value more). China's right-wing equality pays more attention to the equality of results, or emphasizes the supremacy of collective interests and ignores individual freedom (relative to the left and right of the West) (which is also influenced by China's extreme left country).
