    Radical leftism means in essence:

    • everyone is the same
    • everyone deserves the same satisfaction of their needs
    • a roof over your head, food and drink are inalienable rights.

    Any progressive leftist would agree with those things hence why I’d be all for them and as you said there are exceptions in radical left where they shouldn’t be taken seriously

      Exactly. Its just important to understand that horseshoe is not a viable concept. Use specifics instead. No Gos are:

      • russia apologism
      • israel apologism
      • science denial/esotherics
      • selective exclusion from basic rights

      One very helpful concept is the tolerance paradox. It states that tolerant treatment of intolerant parties will lead to them dismantling of the tolerant system.

        No true progressive leftist would be in for either of the two, but in regards to the other two it can become tricky to know

        Or simply ignore the gaslightning that tolerance is a paradox and take it as a social contract where both ends must comply, if one won’t then you shouldn’t take for granted the other should
