People can link all the charts they want they are charts.
Pay attention to the real world and see ideology in action.

BS...And intentional BS...Lest I start "qouting" you in my responses and take the liberty to edit your text to content I think you would likely say?

The fact is, it is not and has never been the Government's job to take care of people. If you can't understand that, you simply don't understand the ideals that this country was founded on. In that case, I suggest you move to a socialist state.
From the first days that our prehistoric ancestors gathered into tribes, the goal has been to "take care" of one another. When a hunter is injured amongst the tribe, he can heal and hunt again rather than starve to death. The elderly are used for thier wisdom, everyone shares best practices... Everyone benefits. Security, Education and Healthcare...benefit all members of the tribe.
If you don't understand the value in that then I suggest you move to a third world country.
I find liberals to be quite center, progressives to be slightly left and above of center, conservatives to be slightly right and above of center, libertarians to be below center both left and right.

The chart I posted is how ideologies actually are, I find liberals to be quite center, progressives to be slightly left and above of center, conservatives to be slightly right and above of center, libertarians to be below center both left and right.
And I find liberals to be quite fascist, more fascist than conservatives neither is center,.
Liberals cannot be simultaneously fascist and communistic. The ideologies are polar opposites to each other.

Eliminate all social programs and immediately the need for law enforcement and big government comes back because now there are 30 million people who do not have access to food
That sir Heff is a false dilemma we both know it people have multiple means to provide for themselves.
1. Friends,Family,or Food Shelters.
2. Get a job, or do anything they can to make cash to eat.
Anyone who says Government is the only option well it's not that is just outsourcing the 'responsibility' that some people claim we are suppose to have.
Since the prevailing wisdom is anything government creates will become corrupted,bloated or misused the prevailing 'logic' or 'wisdom' is to not create it in the first place.
There is nothing stopping we the people from helping out any other person the issue is when people default that to government.

LIBERAL:
Liberal is a person with liberal views. However, an EXTREME liberal is the WORST type of person. To start with they brainwash people. Then they convince you that their pre made views they hand to you are open minded. They tell you to hate Republicans and everyone who thinks differently than you. They are the first to throw around the word racist. Most extreme liberal abuse minorities. They look for a group typically blacks or hispanics, convince them they are nothing and need the liberals to survive, then exploit them for political power. Extreme liberals are usually igorant but claim everyone else is. They pretend to be looking out for the people but are only looking out for themselves. Some day people will realize this is the truth.
Forcing people to buy corporate products or subsidizing people small or no incomes so that people can buy corporate products is the work of the corporations themselves encouraging policies that favor them
fighting to not have to pay employees fair wages etc. Fascism is Corporate control of government.
The unfortunate thing is: 1. Many people do not have friends or family to help them. I speak from experience here. Homeless shelters are scarce, and provide little help. 2. Too bad jobs, even peanut jobs, are scarce and difficult. Not to mention the cost of eating goes up when you have no place to prepare your own meals.
