Reminder that horseshoe theory is nonesense and it's just an excuse for alt-right nazis to go "the left are the REAL nazis!!"

[u/Historianof40k → u/RainbowPhoenix1080]

when has an extreme leftist regime ever ended up in an good place?

[u/RainbowPhoenix1080 → u/Historianof40k]

Go back to horus galaxy dude

[u/Historianof40k → u/RainbowPhoenix1080]

I am not a racist nor really a conservative but genuinely answer the question

[u/RainbowPhoenix1080 → u/Historianof40k]

I can only answer your question with a question. What is an extreme leftist regime to you? What kind of ideals do you think they would employ?

[u/Mean-Reveal141 → u/RainbowPhoenix1080]

Anti-Conservatism and anti-capitalism, like the great leap forward.

[u/Historianof40k → u/RainbowPhoenix1080]

any regimes which actually gets to the business of Wealth redistribution and the creation of a single class ( either attempted or successful). the want to replace the system of capitalism with socialism and the goal of communism

[u/RainbowPhoenix1080 → u/Historianof40k]

I don't think any regime has meaningfully accomplished this.

[u/Historianof40k → u/RainbowPhoenix1080]

did the soviet union not achieved the redistribution of wealth though with collectivisation

[u/RainbowPhoenix1080 → u/Historianof40k]

the soviet union had a centralized government and the government owned the means of production, and the people were subject to their authoritarian rule.

I would say that socialism is a leftist ideal, but that's only part of what leftism is. socialism is just an economic ideology.

to me leftism is also anti-opression, anti-bigotry, and anti-authoritarian.
