That sounds exactly like the British Government honestly. Honestly it sounds like something they'd happily allow

Seeming more and more likely it's Hue Edwards I guess

Oh I agree. That was kind of what I was getting at I suppose.

The overton window has catapulted so much to the fat right that 'everyone should have access to healthcare' is an 'absurd' and 'marxist' opinion.

I'm in no way a tankie, but their reasoning is lacking for me if they aren't going to also de-federate from exploding heads etc

I get your point, but the US, capitalism and The West aren't protected characteristics.

I'm on the far left, I think Stalin Simps are silly and deluded. The tankie love over there is too much. Whilst I am critical of NATO and their role in flaming the ongoing conflict in Ukraine I'd in no way try absolving Russia of their actions either.

It's a pain in the arse when people make sweeping statements like that.

I see myself as an extremist, self described as on the radical far left. However I'm no way a tankie obsessed with Stalin and Mao and certainly not about to pretend genocides weren't committed.

There's certainly takeaways from Stalin and Maos and the ideology they moulded, but too quick people jump to their defences but equally any communism is instantly shot down as crazy.

Guess I'm rambling now. Basically in summary, you can be an extremist on the left that isn't authoritarian whilst still wanting everyone in society to have a fair share

Go and play Dragons Dogma. It's honestly a masterpiece.

Rest in Power RiF. Time to figure out Lemmy

Dragons Dogma is phenomenal. And the DLC is perfect too. Highly recommend it for any fans of Soulslikes, Monster Hunter or The Witcher series
