Current Affairs The Far Right

Idealistic far left = better world for everyone.

Unfortunately as with most things, unscrupulous people can twist it to their own gain.

Idealistic far right = 'better' world for the few and the exploitation/vilification of those who are deemed different.

The difference between the two is clear - one intentionally aims to be racist, bigoted and evil whilst the other is often exploited by evil people.

Pretty much like all governments but I know which side I'd prefer to stand on.

Unsurprisingly, the far right have invaded the far right thread.

They were obviously here first though and we should all return back to where we came from...

How come every far left movement has been "exploited by evil people"?

1. "Antifa" is not a centralised, coordinated movement so much as a state of mind.

2. Most anti-fascists are not violent, just outraged at the racism and iniquity that they see.

3. Anyone who says anti-fascists are fascists is either a troll or a fool.

4. White supremacists have an entire people in their cross-hairs, anti-fascists most certainly do not. They merely despise an ideology of hate.


...but you just carry on.

Stop watching CNN.

Not every one has.

It sometimes happens because far-left revolutions occur mostly in countries where the populace have nothing to lose, often due to capitalism and right-wing establishments. This means they can be exploited more easily by people who represent authoritarianism far more than socialism.

Cuba and Russia were hardly utopias before the revolutions.
