The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

From the French Revolution to Mussolini to Mao and beyond…leftism’s body count will never be matched.

Nonsense as usual from Dope.

You want to compare far left ideologies like communism to our liberal democracy, when, in reality, when the left and right ends of the political spectrum get extreme they start to resemble each other, in that they tend to become repressive, often brutal, autocracies. Thus Stalin on the left and Hitler on the right.

At this moment in time the political right under the leadership of Trump is much more likely to head our country down the dark road to authoritarianism.

You consume too much RW propaganda, Dope. But you'll never learn.
