> If you think that the American Left is anything like communism
no, you completely missed my point. why would i talk about communism if in the same comment i'm saying that the left/right divide is a fake distraction... a red herring?
what i said is that what matters is the authoritarianism/freedom scale.
i just mentioned my past to emphasize that ideologies like communism are not to be identified by announcing themselves as 'communism'... but by recognizing their actual shape and actions. and i have a little first hand experience in that.
