Can you be a leftist without also supporting terrorists and criminals?

[spidermike007]

Quite a bizarre question from someone who has obviously been drinking a substantial amount of Kool-Aid. Calling Democrats leftist ls, is a bit like calling Republicans fascists. 

 

Quite astonishing to me how MAGA has descended to a level where some of the less intelligent supporters are simply reduced to slogans, name calling as a juvenile tribute to their political Master, and memes rather than intelligent discussions.

 

All Democrats are communist

All Democrats are baby killers

All Democrats support trans rights. 

All democrats are woke

 

Do you know where we get our power from? We drink the blood of infants in basements of pizza parlors.

You forgot endless whining and complaining if you don't get your own way!

I could cope with you drinking the blood of infants, as long as you do it quietly.

I wonder who would win in a fight between Left and Right as to who is more violent, statistically 

 

We know the America and Jew haters are almost exclusively on the "Left". They get all the antisemitism.

And all the gun-toting morons are on the right.

 

While we are arguing about it, Trump and Musk are looting the treasury and Putin is cheering them on.

Bet you despise the transparency of this Administration. Socialism can only exist with total secrecy.

Transparency??? Do you mean Doge hiding the source information about the supposed savings they are making? No you mean the peace deal for Ukraine that Ukraine is an active party to and the details are withheld from them?  Oh yeah I know the transparency of communication over an open channel classified information about a peace loving leader while actively bombing in the middle east and inviting a non government person with no clearance to the discussion.

As I said empty barrels make a lot of noise, whatever your above statement is trying to say, give us a clue.

Not clear enough? Socialism cannot exist without violence and terrorism. Care to dispute that?

The Labour Party campaigned on a Socialist manifesto and won the 1945 General Election in the UK. There was no violence or terrorism involved: Moreover, Socialist parties throughout Europe have won free and fair elections on many occasions over the past 70 years.

 

This is known as 'Democratic Socialism' i.e. a belief that power should be gained through the ballot box not the bullet.

 

Therefore, it is clear that Socialism can exist without violence or terrorism. To suggest otherwise is nonsense.

Well thats not exactly true, but care to share the "right wing terrorism" we are seeing every day. You know, threats to kill, vandalism, arson, assulting police officers?

Cant even talk properly have to use the “N word” instead of just saying it if you are white. Others can sing about it freely.

Actually, its impolite to be a racist. Most Americans try to be polite. Its not like we throw bananas at black  players at football matches like they do over in Europe.

Interesting question and it seems with the recent terrorism towards Tesla vehicles by the far left, the answer to this question is No. Far left ideology encourages hated toward anyone that opposes their doctrine.

History is littered with so many failed attempts at socialism, and that's because it simply doesn't work once you try to scale it up. The seduction of the idea is that at the very small/micro level, like family and friends, it works... but then some "revolutionary" student union idealistic types try to scale it up to the national or whatever level and it fails miserably, basically due to human nature and greed, with an unwillingness to be truly equal with all when it comes down to it, as judgement is cast on others for their opinions or shortcomings/disabilities/whatever. This is famously deplicted in George Orwell's novel Aminal Farm, and imortalized in the sentence "All pigs are equal, but some are more equal than others...". After the implosion of the experiement with socialism, everyone cries and wonders why it failed... duhhhh!

The other problem with the far left and proper socialism is that each foolish generation gets into their early twenties, hasn't studied history properly, and thinks "Those who tried in the past were stupid, we can get it right this time", and then fail miserably causing no end of damage along the way. 

Obviously, the Bolshevics are the post-boy organization for showcasing this failure all the way up the the implosion of the USSR after all the death, killing, torture and suffering it brought about... but there are plenty of other examples too (Cuba/Venezuela/Commie China etc.) People like to label anyone to the right of Stalin as "far right" these days... but most don't realize that there is something alive and well called "far-left fascism" which is equally oppressive and is slowly creeping into western societies whilst hiding in plain sight with all the language, expression, social media, and thought policing in the education sector and businesses. Get out whilst you still can, I say.

That's not to say that capitalism is perfect, but it works a lot better, and it's like what Churchill said...

“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.” —House of Commons, 22 October 1945.

This would be an interesting question, if only one knew how many terrorists there are in the USA and EU. I don't count Arabic countries as they are all very conservative (right leaning). In the United States in 2022, 48 percent of Republicans reported that they owned at least one gun, and 66 percent said that they lived in a household with a gun. In comparison, only 20 percent of Democrats owned at least one gun, and 31 percent lived a gun household. Now look at the number in the USA compared to Europe. We could say the potential for armed terrorists in the USA lies with the right, not the left, but of course, this isn't conclusive.
