both the far-left and the far-right are every bit as despicable as they claim each other are.
False Equivalence™
I think that the far-left and far-right are both despicable and I think that both are a threat to American freedoms. Maybe in different ways, but both are despicable and threatening enough that I don’t prefer either.
Can you give a common example of something you consider to be “far left” and “a threat to American freedoms”? I ask because I consider myself pretty far to the left, and am not sure who I am threatening.
You can’t be that far left. He’s talking about those who would seek to impose Leftist policies on others, as Marx advocated.
Such as…? Who are these people and what are they advocating here in the U.S.?
I actually do think I’m pretty far to the left, by today’s standards. For example, people today seem to think that Obamacare is way left, but to me it seems quite centrist because it still retains a for-profit system at its base. Single payer would be much further to the left, and that’s what I believe would be better. I suppose that would threaten people’s freedom to not have health insurance?
I’m actually not trying to be sarcastic. It’s an honest question. I’d like to know how my beliefs are threatening people’s freedoms.
