  • one party

    A well known issue with the left is that leftwing parties tend to split into a million different fractions.

    corruption

    Pretty sure a key feature of left-wing policy is transparency and removal of money in politics. Contrast to, for example, the recent US (right wing) supreme court ruling that bribery is totally legal as long as you do it beforehand.

    executions

    Unless this is your dog whistle for freedom to have an abortion, you’re just Imaging this. The death penalty is very much opposed by every left wing group or person.

    burning of books,

    Maybe, maybe at the far end, republishing books with disclaimers about the period they were written in…

    those things happened in my country when we were under Soviet communist occupation.

    And do you think the Soviet Union under Stalin was very leftwing? Or were they just extremely authoritarian? Did they practice much egalitarianism, or did they merely say they did? We’re they anti-war? Pro multiculturalism?
















  • People just don’t understand mirrors.

    I did a horrifying experiment in uni with a mirror on the wall, and asked people to point at where they thought they could see their reflection . The obvious answer is of course “when you’re next to it”. A terrifyingly large number of people at a University assumed they could see themselves at a 45 to 60 degree angle, so several step before they actually reached the mirror.

    Some of them were even shocked when they walked along it.
