    The caveat is that being a “racist mass murderer with a superiority complex” is a very right-wing thing. It wouldn’t be possible to fit that mold and be leftist because it’s entirely incompatible with leftist ideology.

      Hilarious how people who know exactly one “racist mass murderer with a superiority complex” assume that it is a right-wing thing. Try humanities most famous left-winger ever.

      Im not saying that nazis and right-wing are unrelated, but you picked exactly those characteristics in Hitler that actually arent related to political views at all.

      So you’re saying that racism and mass murder did not exist under communist China?

      What about Russification in the Soviet Union? Minorities were marginalized.

      Why would it be a problem if the Nazis were actually left-wing? You’re not realizing you’re actually a victim of a fallacy. And even more concerning, you’re trying to use the same fallacy to attack back. It’s just flawed logic all over the place.

        As I understand it the keystone between left and right is that:
        The left belief is that all people are created equal and should have equal authority to point out wrong doing. The right belief is that people should be in a hierarchy with people at the top exerting control downward.

        I think they are actually just saying if you really believe everyone is equal you can’t pick a group to target for mass murder. But if you are at the top of a pyramid tge people below you naturally look expendable.

        At least that is my reading of this debate.

          And my point was that even in the left, murder, discrimination and racism can exist.

          People just choose to think their position is ideal and the opposition is flawed. This type of brainwashing is disgusting.

      Did you just seriously say that there has never been a left wing racist mass murderer with a superiority complex?
