Why are left wingers demonized and treated as terrorist while right wingers all

[JRLeft]

around the world torture, mame, kill, and imprison people all around the world? Left wingers believe in democracy and community. Right wingers believe in theocracy, division, and unregulated predatorial capitalism. The totalitarian mind state is dangerous and there are a lot of people around the world who are easily manipulated by the right wing-third Reich message.

1. China & Russia

The far left is just as brutal as the far right.

2. They are left in name only.

In truth they are totalitarian regimes with complete control over everything and everyone and no regard for anyone's rights. This is neither true communism nor democracy.

5. There's theory and there's reality

A far right dictator could be benevolent, and a communist government could be fair and just. That doesn't happen.

7. Name one far right dictator in history that was benevolent.

It's impossible to be both. I have no objection to true communism. Our stone age tribal culture was communist as are many groups that practice it today, like monasteries, kibbutz and other modern tribal societies. Communism got a bad rap with the Soviet, totalitarian version practiced by some world powers. We have been taught to be very afraid of them, another type of totalitarianism practiced by capitalists. I've lived too long not to see the bullshit.

3. Ahem.

The Chinese have rebranded state capitalism, and that is what the Chinese government is and have no doubt about it, as "socialism with Chinese characteristics." China is no longer leftist or socialist in any meaningful way. It is an aiuthoritarian state that sponsors capitalism. It is infinitely more similar to Fascist Italy or Germany in the 1933-37 period than to any socialist state.

Pretty much the same thing goes for Russia. Read Naomi Klein's "The Shock Doctrine" and educate yourself about modern Russia.

4. Persucution complex

Any philosophy taken too far or too seriously can lead to atrocious behavior.
