re: #17 b_sharp

What percentage of people who complain about lefties being communists and socialists actually know what those two terms mean?

Very little I imagine. Remember these are the same people who convince themselves that Adolph Hitler and the Nazi Party was leftist simply because it has the word socialist in it. To which I always retort, so the German Democratic Republic was a beacon of democracy huh. Or the fact that the Nazis first political prisoners were those on the left: Communists, trade labor members, Social Democrats, and while Jews as a whole aren’t a left wing group, the Nazis associated them with the left and betrayal of the monarchy/military during WWI. But I digress.
