@meJess Who on the left? Palestinian, advocating for something more resembling the general understanding of "socialism" than free market capitalism? 99.9% of his platform is essentially"the rich need to share their wealth of they want to access heaven"
Genuine question. I can think of many more motives why the right would be at his throat, than the left. Even counting only the tankies as left

@Elessar How can people give the excess product of their labour to who they view as the needy deserving of it, if a centralized state has already taken much of the excess product of their labour?
Elessar · 31-35, M
@Therealsteve You don't do it directly if the state already does it for you; it's also a matter of efficiency: maybe me and you are honest, and would voluntarily distribute what we earn and don't critically need, but many (most?) would just keep it. If the redistribution happens at state level and the redistribution process is fair, you don't have to rely on the entire population willing to do their thing.
Both have their disadvantages: people can be egoist, and states can be corrupt. But it's arguably easier to make sure a state isn't corrupt, than to police every single individual.

As a communist yourself I'm sure you'd confiscate his tools, materials and workshop thus taking control of his means of production. But would you also sell him back his products and fruits of his labor, at double the original cost?
Hope his dad doesn't find out.

Never forget that it was the Right that killed Jesus. He was killed by a group of Theocrats who didn't want anyone questioning their religion.

Used by the political right... but the left would hate him just as much. Wait until you hear his offensive Gospel message.

@Elessar But many people in my home country of the UK, as well as many, many people I came across when I lived in Asia, hate this "woke", irrespective of Trump. I'm not sure how you are giving it a Trump-centric definition. There is a world outside of US politics.

@Therealsteve Because they consume American media and sprout the same kind of nonsense

That is why they basically had to invent their own Jesus.

@PatKirby The exact opposite, but then again you do have a long standing reading comprehension problem.

@PatKirby I get it. For a Trumplet, English is a struggle for you.
Let me know how the GED exam goes.
