that the right has been stable, while the left is essentially freefalling toward communism

I suspect that's because the fringe beliefs of the left are much more easily rationalized as being about "fairness" and "compassion" than the fringe beliefs of the right

only the one side has been moving, it's been most of the left and they are completely unhinged

Fairness yes, compassion probably not

The Overton-window has shifted towrds the left. So, the center has become the "right".

even if the opposite is sometimes true

It doesn't even have to be a far / fringe thing

ideological posession can happen a politically

I don't understand why the left continues to support socialism and communism when we have the example of Venezuela collapsing

it's a philosophical term

"that's not real socialism"

Their idea of fairness is heavily tainted by envy and believing anyone with any impressive traits is having it way too easy

@Borg Queen (DEDR1) I don't think bernie sanders ever retracted his praise of maduro.. anyone know if he did?

but yeah, socialism is cancer

people who support socialism are delusional

Real socialism is utopian, an unobtainable ideal.

Again, I'm fine with socialism provided it's purely economic

worse than cancer, it's the HIV of society

the progessive left praised maduro... and right now maduro is having his troops murder his own people

Let's keep it to command economies and high progressive income tax then we can talk

socialism is evil, as are those who support it

whatever edgy metaphor you want to use, yes, it's bad

20 confirmed dead at the hands of the police there under maduro's orders

high taxes are EVIL

..lol

Fascism is evil, as are those who support it. Socialism is just foolish.

anyone supporting a massive tax needs mental health action

*ideological posession intensifies*

so the police murdering hungry scared civilians on the street is the progessive liberal's idea of utopia (bernie sander's own words)?

socialism is evil, and I will fight against it, with my life if needed

not sure if trolling

Keeping the people starving and then hoarding all the food is a great way of keeping the people obedient

trolling?

we literally just finished talking about ideological posession and you're setting a good example of what that looks like

lol

Communism leads to the slaughter of innocents, just look at Stalin and Mao. I'd prefer to kill the communists first before they can do harm.

All this started because I disagreed with not Sean saying you should be able to date someone with opposing views. Normally, yes, but cultural "Marxists" are a big no.

Replace socialism with fascism and I wouldn't be able to tell you apart from sjws

Prefer padded cells for the commies.

I think that shit is crazy on either side

Economic Marxists can be fun to talk to
