Political position explained to dummies

So we know that there are two different wings when it comes to politics, but what are those? You see being far on either wings is not good. So let me just explain in this short post. This is a broad generalization of parties, but this is better than not knowing anything at all, and yes, I am a left winger, deal with it.


The Extreme Far Left
At this point, having a government like this would confiscate private holdings and spread he wealth equally, hence the name "communism". There are different types of communism though, anarchy communism is a system without a government of a ruling body and relies that people want to share their goodies with other equally, but forget it, this will never happen because of human natural greed. Extreme far left are not only communist, but also a totalitarian government.

The Far Left
Far left parties and government usually allows some private holdings but taxes heavily on the rich. The have strict regulation and nationalizes everything they can from defense companies, milk companies and whatever is left so that the national government has full control over almost everything.

The Left Wing
This is where normal everyday politics comes in. Left wing parties usually focuses on worker right, regulation and minimal privatization of healthcare and education. Most European countries are on the left wing due to free healthcare and heavily subsidized education. They are also usually pro immigration and most likely to be pro globalization.

Centrism/Big Tent
This is kind of tricky to explain, because centrist parties just take what they feel like from both wings.

The Right Wing
This is where most conservative parties stay, their ideologies are usually liberalism in the market, conservative liberalism and there is one thing right winger love more than anything, and that is tax break. They claim that a small government is useful for both business and individual. Right winger usually support stricter immigration law to protect the current workforce.

The Far Right
Parties that are far right are usually classified as "racist" because of their nature to preserve the "old" traditions of a country. They are usually hostile to new culture and adaptations. Some might argue that far right parties are rising in Europe because the native population felt threatened by immigrants.
