Leftists in NGOs, governments, and corporations are very against alternative speech. You have to understand that the left is a mafia.

What you fail to see is that you're talking about the totalitarian left, just as bad as the totalitarian right.

I may lean left on more things than right - but only if they are about freedom and cooperation. And most of the things I don't agree with on the left AND the right are just dogmatic propaganda ideas trickling down on the the authentic left and right who have FAAAAR more in common than with their totalitarian counterparts.

Horseshoe theory is bullshit. All leftism is totalitarian because its ideas have been proven to not work, and because the left is emotionally invested in its ideals for domination and socialization purposes, they always become tyrannical in its application.

You know what the right really is? "Everybody else." It's the left versus sane and normal people.

I never said horseshoe. It's not really bullshit though. I see it as left/right on one axis and up/down = totalitarian/liberal on another axis - but instead of a square field I prefer a diamond field. The closer to the top and bottom you get the more totalitarian or free you get and the absolute left and the absolute right don't meet either.

Denis Kusinich and Ron Paul aren't overlapping at the far left and far right edges. They're overlapping lower down towards freedom.

All leftism is totalitarian because its ideas have been proven to not work

So the Scandinavian models don't work? Canada doesn't work? Come on. Yes, there are MANY bad examples of BOTH capitalism and socialism, left and right ideologies.

And now there's this corporate-left of manufactured SJW culturally engineered utter nonsense that has no resemblance to authentic progressive left ideals. I DO NOT consider the Corporate-Left to be legit. IMHO they are worse than Republicans because they are traitorous liars and manipulators, and republicans in sheeps clothing.

they always become tyrannical in its application.

Not. Ish. ALL government is tyrannical for sure. But that's not dependent on being left nor right.

You are stuck on a 1D line of left v right. There's totalitarianism v libralism. AND there's truth v fiction, aka healthy skepticism v dogmatic faith - but that's a whole other convo.

It's the left versus sane and normal people.

That's mudslinging.
