Was he even left-wing?

Was he even left-wing?

Why do you care?

It's just /pol/ being /pol/: namely fucking imbeciles who can't figure out if a French philosopher influenced by the Marxists who wrote about sex and the horrors of the penal system is right wing or not.

You have to be next level stupid to think Foucault was even remotely right wing

using the political dichotomy on philosophers doesn't work. If I had to generalize I would say he was more left than right

He was a believer in a hierarchical social society which is a base belief of the right wing.

he was very much for freedom

i didn't ask if he was right-wing, i asked if he was left-wing

the left/right thing is a false dichotomy

I think he soured on Communism as he aged, but he still strongly supported things like anti-racism and violations of human dignity. So no, he is not someone even remotely connected to the right in any way.

>not left-wing = right-wing
>right-wing = racist
go back to leftypol

Not really. He is his own thing.

This. The right is intrinsically fascist in its nature and Foucault dedicated his life to criticizes fascism. Just because he didn't agree on everything with the left doesn't mean he wasn't a leftist.

>using the political dichotomy on philosophers doesn't work
yes it does. you just figure out if his ideas would be left or right wing in your own country since those two terms are mostly relative to your own country's current political climate

>The right is intrinsically fascist in its nature
you know that this is equivalent to the whole "post-modern communism idpol" thing the right does, right?

Amateur analysis.

the right in soviet russia called for freedom for their countries and a dismantling of their degenerating oligarchic state

dumb americans: he's libertarian in the extreme. that used constitute leftism in france, but he did have a dalliance with the marxists, who are kind of authoritarian.

the US "left" would hate him. along with supporting not recognising the state, he also suggested not recognising ages of consent or need to inform about AIDS risks. (that means fucking little boys without telling them you have gay plague, for the very dumb americunts) the "right" wouldn't have him either because of the why not fuck young boys aspect.

people who want to legalize crack though would like him. if you're one of them, go for it.

And then jewish bolsheviks murdered them.

Don't you have some speeches to go shut down, antifagot?

DELET

>>>/Bellevue/

merely designations

>The right is intrinsically fascist in its nature
so there was no right wing before fascism?
idiot

everyone he doesn't like is literally hitler

Yes, there was, and it led to fascism.

>t. eric clanton

Not that guy, but the "right" of today is not the same as the "right" of FUCKING ABRAHAM LINCOLN. The "right" of the 21st century has drifted toward the following:

>marginalization and mockery of anyone that isn't white or male
>going back to the old "the Jews are the problem!" rhetoric of the Third Reich
>flagrant disregard of people struggling financially
>opposition to programs that help people who need genuine help, including reasonably priced health care

But seriously: why are you guys everywhere? Fuck, you're like some kind of lunatic virus preaching hate and intolerance every place you visit. If you're "serious," seriously re-evaluate what aspects of your life are the source of this shit. If you're trolling ... go elsewhere.

last time I checked it was the left who wanted israel to suffer and free palestine

i'm not even right wing

but the right wing doesn't start and end with /pol/

>anyone that isn't white or male
Implying you aren't, which means you are?

lol who the fuck are you trying to kid?

he's literally the source of all "muh opression" idpol rhetoric to ever exist, so yes he's left wing, just not the right kind.

Him too?

Marxism lead to fascism just as much as anything else.
and I wouldn't call Fascism terribly far right compared to other ideas
Absolute Monarchy is much more far right than Fascism is.

>>flagrant disregard of people struggling financially
give poor people bribes just leads to murderers

>>opposition to programs that help people who need genuine help, including reasonably priced health care
programs to help the poor just make everything worse because you're paying someone money to give money away

>marginalization and mockery of anyone that isn't white or male

That only started when the left began to marginalize and mock everyone who was white or male. Quid pro quo.

what

can't imagine how thickos like you manage to still be lumbering about on Veeky Forums of all places. like confused dinosaurs

when you make some sort of safety net for poor people, you just making your society give money into public coffers. Then, out comes less money then what was put it, so it doesn't actually make society less poor because the money gets used paying all of the people in government to figure out who to dole it out to.

not true, they are not victims

That's a pretty simplistic way to look at it, user. You must be very young.

when you bash someone's head in for talkign about what they beileve in, and its against teh law, they're a victim

being a victim is nothing to be proud of
frankly victims deserve to be victimized

>im a criminal
enjoy your execution and enslavement

Are you talking about that nazi advocate that was punched some time ago?

Yes, how brilliant and justified. Those brown people will regret thinking badly about me! Stupid savages should have remained a western colony, they're not good for anything else. The alt-right is the mature and sophisticated philosophy for a white man like myself.

>hierarchical social society which is a base belief of the right wing.

No one that advocates democracy can be said to be very much a believer of hierarchy.

The left-right dichtomamy is a very, very narrow aspect of the thought process. Anti-egalitarianism doesn't really fit into either group.

On one side: a history of oppression
On the other side: being mocked on the internet

im talking about antifa as a whole who started lynching people

Where?

the poor have never been lifted out of poverty because a law was passed as it is a matter like the coming of the tides. Nature doesn't care about what laws you pass, and the soviets in their attempts to justify their world killed everyone they could, which is beginning with antifa.

honestly the stunted perspective of these "underprivileged" really has no value what so ever, their scope of thought is so impossibly narrow due to their slave like impoverished existence.
that's why only a tiny few of these sorts of "oppressed" people have ever created anything of real value, like Shakespeare who came from the lower class and a marginalized Catholic background.
this is far from the norm however as most of them are impossibly caught up in a materialist "gimmiedat" mentality.
the "oppressed" have nothing of value to say or create, its sad but true.
their utterly stunted existences and limitations prevent anything worthwhile from ever being created by the overwhelming majority of them

they tranquillize themselves with these ideas so they can externalize their problems and thrash about aimlessly instead of addressing them.

berkely mostly, though furguson and DC police officers got attacked too

the law must be enforced, without it there is no justice and hence no reason to exist. Which is why the victims of this earth as found by a court of law or God must be protected

What on earth are you talking about? You conflate so many things it's a literal mess.

It's really annoying when North Americans pretend to represent the whole political spectrum and think everyone should cry about events in their country. This alt-right bullshit is pretty much defined by American reactionary butthurt following Obama. Why should I give a shit, when you fuckers can't even tell me basic things about European politics?
There is no real left-wing in America anyway, the ground has been seized by liberals of various stripes.

No lynchings, then. Good.

the law is not the issue, and is always ephemeral

Poverty as a phenomenon outside of the scope of the quill and paper, and instead depends on the individual rather than the state to end.

both the right and left in America are Liberals

a group of people ganging up on someone is a lynching

You write poorly, I'm sorry to say. Godspeed.

He was a Marxist and like the rest of those French philosophers became a post-modernist. Concerned with social justice & civil rights he is definitely left-wing.

if you attack a victim, just as Hitler and Pol Pot, then you are subject to the judgement of the law.

>grammar police
>personal attacks
>religious zealotry
your people suffer unto death until you realize that the traditionalists are right

>This alt-right bullshit is pretty much defined by American reactionary butthurt following Obama
No, it's more of a reaction to Bush and fake conservatives who qualify as one of your "liberals of various stripes." Btw, you're a faggot if you're actually a European counter-signaling white Americans.

you're full of shit and you know it

they were convicted of it too

>Btw, you're a faggot if you're actually a European counter-signaling white Americans.

>D-D-DON'T TOUCH MY COUNTRY!!!!!!

Right about what?

Sure they are.

I wouldn't go so far as to call them "stupid" but a culture that burns widows alive, sacrifices children to dark gods, and defecates on the ground certainly is savage. Maybe it's not their fault that they never developed civilization but that doesn't change the fact that the Indian subcontinent is backward and benighted as fuck.

It's a bit more than just mockery my dude.

Of lynching? Do you have a source to share?

He was a cultural marxist

Women, democracies, capital punishment, welfare, imperialism, marxists, and immigrants

Jacques Derrida as well, big part of the reason social science and arts faculties in American universities are dominated by radical leftist professors.

>It's a bit more than just mockery my dude
Please expound.

US courts on trial of rioters post 2015
>im suppose to quote everything for your stupid ass to read
you're just another lazy socialist who hates work and denies reality

no

>they were not convicted for lynching

>my imaginary socialist world where welfare solves poverty and lynchings only happen to black people
you're delusional and pathetic. Im going to vote for martial law to be reinstated so your kind get tied to a rock and thrown in the ocean

Some critics see Foucault as effectively belonging to the political right because of his rejection of traditional left-liberal conceptions of freedom and justice.

I thought you preferred lynchings.

>user is an ameriburger

I like it when you commies get shot in the back of the head for blasphemy against the communist state.

its a western tradition to kill commies

Who else do you traditionnally like to kill?

holdomor was the best day of my life fuck anarchists

Im not the one who kill them courts of law kill them

over 100 million commeis died trying to feed themselves by stealing and they were still to poor to survive rofl

Pol Pot liked taking all of these westernized faggots who wear glasses and drink soy lattes and cut them in half with a buzzsaw the fucking abominations

>law
Where are you from?

faggot ass commies like to pretend that the genocides never happend rofl they're so cucked ltierally supporting their own genocide

none of your business faggot. Go vote labour and hope you dont get acid thrown in your face

Why are you emulating the rhetoric of a psychopathic killer?

I cant wait for your kind to lay splain like all those faggot gangbangers. I want there to be more riots so there can be a public hanging of you and your faggot friends. Should be like the circus, some get the bullet, electric chair, hanging, be fucking great.
>you are an abomination in the eyes of God

It seems you want civil war. You can't be serious.

>muh commie fantasys
keep dreaming commie. Youll die without a declaration of war like your kind has since Marx

>antifa puts women in front of their foot soldiers and whines about them getting hit
rofl they'll get killed to for using muslim terror tactics

we need the gallows and the national guard to massacre these faglords for all this terrorist filth

I bet these faggot commie bitches will start spluttering their autistic questions during their trials too, but they already are!
