    Why do you list A3P as under right wing parties. Third Position is neither left nor right and the Natural Law Party which Johnson is running under is listed under left wing parties.

    Rocky Anderson got the Natural Law nomination in Michigan. Not Johnson.

    “Rocky Anderson got the Natural Law nomination in Michigan. Not Johnson.”

    KB, Johnson is running for Congress on the NL line in Michigan.

    Rocky Anderson is very pro-immigration. Seems like an odd match.

    Natural Law is left-wing, always has been. A3P is basically white nationalist, so yes it’s right wing.

    Hmmm, I thought Hagelin was more centrist than anything.

    A3P is basically white nationalist, so yes it’s right wing.

    Agreed.

    White Nationalism has traditionally been associated with the far right but there seems to be a new trend of Third Positionism.

    So your suggestion is that we should add an Authoritarian Parties category?

    These labels get cofusing right vs. left, libertarian vs. authoritarian. They have an interested mix of views they kind of remind me of the Citizens Party types. Pro-environment, immigration restrictionist, non-interventionist, economic nationalism, and some civil libertarian stances mixed in.

    The Natural Law Party was a vehicle for Hagelin’s Transcendental Meditation beliefs. As such it is hard to characterize as right or left. Hence all the talk about “proven” policies and “what works” which was code for encorporating TM beliefs.

    Third Positionism is not a “new trend.” It’s just the current re-branding project vis a vis old-style fascism, which has traditionally been categorized as “right-wing.”

    @10, 11 both correct.

  • 13 paulie // Oct 29, 2012 at 3:53 pm

    Authoritarians often support civil liberties and non-interventionist foreign policies when they are not in power, but not so much when they get in power.

    “Pro-environment, immigration restrictionist, economic nationalism,”and racialism is pretty typical of fascism..

    So, right wing, authoritarian, or right-authoritarian…take your pick.
