    You lost me at “conservatives” & “leftists”.
    If someone identifies with either of those groups they’re sheeple that have fallen for one of the various natives pushed by the state & it’s benefactors.
    Communism just doesn’t work, there have been plenty of attempts and experiments trying to make it sustainable but all have failed.

      Just because I consider myself a leftist doesn’t mean I’m a pure communist. If any of my posts have made clear, I am anti-authoritarian first and foremost, and I believe in compromise rather than fundamentalism.

      I believe in mutual aid, and pooling resources as a community, but I don’t think it works at a state level, hence why many states that called themselves communist failed or implemented capitalism to some degree. There are instances of it working at smaller scales like through certain Native American tribes, and attempts made in Spain during the Spanish Civil War.

      As long as you are someone who truly believes in human rights and civil liberties, I’ll likely get along with you. I don’t care what you label yourself. If you stand against authoritarians, and are there to help the weak and marginalized, I will call you friend.

        I think you don’t really know what you are but you seem to be trying to bully a group out of this community which isn’t a good look.
