Everyone knows that the Democratic Party is just an abbreviation of The People's Democratic Party, and was formed by Marx during the collapse of the USSR. Mao himself is a large donor.

You're wrong, it was founded by Stalin just after the Paris communes.

(From OP’s sig): Leftism ought not be understood as a concrete political ideology, but rather as a counterculture movement whose principal aim is the total overthrow of democratic society.
I wholeheartedly second this statement ^

Conservatism ought not to be understood as a concrete political ideology, but rather as a reactionary movement whose principal aim is the total oppression of reformers.
it's funny how generalizing an umbrella term and throwing in some keywords makes you sound smart to (a few) people on your side, and makes it very easy for people on the other side to disregard anyhting you say.

Conservatism is a backwards ideology in both name and in their actions, and it needs to be scrubbed from the face of our Earth

Posadism ought not to be understood as a concrete political ideology, but rather as a fringe movement whose principal aim is complete liberation of the world's proletariat following nuclear war.

Which is not surprising considering that the UK is, as one noted thinker put it, 'an entire country with sick building syndrome'.

-Ra- wrote:The biggest argument against socialism is probably that socialist policies are detested most vehemently by the working class themselves. UK working people swung heavily in favour of the Tories this past election. 30% more of America’s white working class voted for Trump than did Hillary. By my experience the majority of avowed socialists these days are people who come from upper middle class families.
Detested the Labour policies so hard that they were all for them when given them blind.
So let's see your evidence that economic policy was what made everyone vote Conservative rather than cultural anxiety.

Also ima just saying folks can dislike leftism all they want but when they seem to base their political identity on opposition to the left that's, well, that's when I unlatch the safety of my browning.
