I could be wrong, but I think it's been pretty common practice after communist revolutions to 'purge' many of the revolutionaries who brought upon the revolution. If they were willing to revolt against the former state, they can't be trusted to not revolt against the new state. |

'Communist' revolutions get stuck in the 'Dictatorship of the Proletariat' stage and never reach communism. |

Or at least I think they support that slave **** I could see it making a comeback in some form Plus I’ve heard “leftists” support a draft since only poor people “volunteer” On the other hand I wouldn’t mind an optional federal jobs program for anyone who wants a job that pays a living wage. Seems viable with all the green energy needs we have and our ****ed up infrastructure. There’s lots of **** to do. Haven’t thought that much about it though since what I really want is to just be given money for doing nothing at all. When I hear that people want to work rhetoric I always think dafuq. But lately I feel so isolated. The ****ing thing was my restaurant job was actually almost tenable before covid. Boohoo I know but I was chilling with tunes all day they people were cool the tasks were varied. Tons of great free food. It was physically brutal and had real drawbacks but compared to teaching you know I was almost getting happy. **** I get off topic.

I think the spectrum of political leanings is more nuanced than that and is better explained by the traditional political compass, that I'm sure you're familiar with. |

The ideas of Marx/Engels might work great for a small willing commune, but in practice across a large country, you need a lot of political will and a lot of guns to get it done. You can slowly boil people by raising their taxes, but it usually gets to a point where folks will eventually balk. You'll never get communism this way, the best you can hope for is Socialism. |

Even though I don’t agree I respect your lack of nuance!

All the right-wing people I talk to tell me that Hitler was a left-winger and that the effort to paint him as a right-winger is part of a broad propaganda campaign. I don't know who to believe. |
