It confuses me why people associate leftism with both Islam AND communism.

It's fairly often I hear people describe leftists as being Muslim-lovers but also communists. Y'all do realize that commies and Muslims absolutely HATE each other. Communists have historically tried to wipe out Muslims.

Not necessarily. In some places you have people who are both. For example Muslim communists. Also a communist is in charge of Najaf in Iraq right now and she is trusted by all not to play sides in religious bullshit.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Indeed, but see you're taking into account forms of communistic ideology other than applied communism. Which is smart. Here in the States though, "communism" strictly means applied communism AKA the Soviet Union or Fidel Castro's Cuba.

@BlueMetalChick I speak of communism in the context of what it is, not in the context of American thought where Obama is labeled a Maoist. lol

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Oh dear god 😂 The number of times I've been accused of being a Mao-loving Obama follower is enough to make my head spin. Even though I fucking hate Obama.
