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.

The people who do this really aren't interested in the variations between us and them.

Commies and Muslims, along with anyone who's not an "us" is a "them", along with Jews, Democrats, intellectuals, etc.

@MistyCee Liberal Jews are in an interesting position as being anti-Zionist is leftist and the Orthodox community is growing and generally right wing.

@Fukfacewillie Yeah, that's pretty accurate. Anti-Zionism is definitely a leftist staple.
