From a Supreme Court decision which (rightfully) struck down an anti-abortion law in Louisiana to discussions about governments.

I'll settle this.. anything that involves total control from the state or small group of oligarchs is a leftist premise - they are all about thought and people control.

anything that involves the least amount of control from the state or government and allows personal freedoms to people regardless of their ability to handle it is a right premise.

Settled? Cool.

I assume you're being satirical. Only a right-winger could love your definition.

Left-wingers just seem to be more upfront about it - i.e., controlling the means of production. Right-wingers like to cloak their control in the guise of allowing the means of production to remain in private hands, but controlling all usages of such production - i.e., the Third Reich. Right-wing authoritarianism (fascism) usually will allow organized religion to be practiced, but rigidly controlled (Franco).

Their seems to be a real effort in some of these posts to absolve the right-winger of any responsibility for numerous bad deeds and millions of deaths. Kind of funny.
