Extremism - both sides

[Sussex Nomad]

I've just had a great idea for a book title, but I have no idea of the content.

IF MAGGIE THATCHER DID SOCIALISM

In my experience both extremes of Right and Left meet somewhere in the middle ideologically. Nazi's killed people, Commies killed people. Yes I know I'm being simplistic,.

Well it is called National Socialism for a reason.

As someone said earlier, left vs right is FAR too simplistic, and I don't like how we're all being pushed into a reductive, dumbed-down narrative, red vs blue, the good guys vs the baddies.

I am socially very left, but probably economically centre, and on certain issues I would be seen as right wing. There are various other axis as well. I have as much issue with the regressive left as I do with the alt. right.

It's both a frustrating and fascinating time in politics at the moment.

I never really got that, NS from a far right ideology and Socialism in their name... ah well.

You can be both

Here is a paper on trade unions and there appalling history regarding race, back in the day.

Probably too much to understand for my simple brain

Haha! He really is. His post genuinely made me laugh out loud. Once I'd understood the fractured English.

And yet again youer big on whining and devoid of any detail.

Yepm you are a fool.

Both as bad as each other, it is getting scarily common to see the free speech is free speech until I disagree with it policy. A cousin of my wife is a lesbian and very progressive, during the election she was posting a ton of unreal Clinton propaganda that really was FAKE NEWS and I engaged in discussion on one of them, because it was so obviously fake. The responses I got were unbelievable, I was branded a sexist, racist, homophobe who and I quote "should go back to england" and they were "so glad I am unable to vote" in their country.

This is a very far left leaning person, telling me to GO BACK WHERE I CAME FROM and showing glee at how they have more rights than I do.

I pointed that out too, then I got blocked.



Tons of evidence both anecdotally and media covered showing they're all totally nuts and as bad as each other.

Embrace individualism.

I wish that were the case, some kind of utopia.

Well it's as simple as "it starts with you".

Utopia? Not really. It actually starts with 'There's no such thing as society'.

Left 'extremism' gave us bollocks all. Socialism gave us what he says.

My point, that you've obviously missed, is that 'extremism' can depend on your point of view and can change over time. The suffragette movement for instance was considered extreme at the time.

I dnno, retards like you maybe?

The suffragette movement was extreme for a time and alienated women because of it.

The suffragette movement was extreme for a time and alienated women because of it.

And played a huge role in getting women the vote.

Classy.

No that is superstition, the government gave women the vote for war service. As it was stated that women shouldn't vote because they cant do a mans job.

The Government (whoever they are) just live on soundbytes if it buys them some more power.
