I’d rather people be communists with ideals I find fundamentally flawed and unrealistic, than libertarian or capitalist types of a similar nature.
We’re never going to go down the communist route, at least in the USA. But libertarianism and capitalism go hand in hand. The absolute free market ideals they’ll merrily skip along in lock-step toward would doom (and are actively dooming) us all.
And realistically, what’s this guy going to do? Someone with libertarian principles might support politicians that cause real harm. Someone with fascist principles might carry out their extreme ideas in a violent manner. A communist might… what, give all his money to the government? Support a politician who will never see real power? I don’t see the threat.
Yeah, the framing is cutting off/hiding most of the bird.
