@Liberty4Masses Ehhh I dunno. I know some wonderful people who are communists. They are just not particularly bright, but not bad people usually. Unless you mean the political leaders in which case i agree.

@freemo eh, I’d say people who support a political ideology that murdered hundreds of millions of innocent men women and children in the past century or so are terrible people.🤷‍♂️

@Liberty4Masses By that logic anyone who has supported any ideology at all are terrible people. You will be hard pressed to find any political ideology that didnt coincide with the murder of innocence. That is the natural result of any time any group has power.

@freemo anyone who advocates any ideology that murders millions of innocent people, communists or otherwise, are terrible people, yes. I certainly agree there.

@Liberty4Masses Then by that logic you think libertarians are also terrible people since we have examples of libertarian countries that have been involved in wars and other mismanagement internally that has resulted in millions of deaths also (I say this as a libertarian myself)

As I said any philosophy that has ever been employed at a government level has, as a result, been associated with the death of many.

There is no room for such absolutist thinking IMO.
