Is your child far left?

Do I have to worry? My parents are like that and raised me to be like that.
Uh oh am I a far left extremist? Yup
Better get that flat packed guillotine set up..... first for the .01% then on to the 1%
- I bet you're part of that terrorista antifascista movement too! You sick fuck.
  
  The only good fascist is one tossed into the pig trough to feed the hogs. Specialty hogs not for bacon but for cleaning up the 1%.
- But what if you run out of people to murder? Who's going to be next?
  
  Well next is finally having a worthwhile society, you see
  
  What is with your obsession with defending capitalism and making strawmen out of communists?
  
  I dunno start with the elite that greedily hoard money and power to the detriment of society, the politicians that suckle at the teat of those elite while ignoring the needs of their actual voters.
  That would probably be enough. Maybe clean up the fascist trash in various countries then flat pack the guillotines back up until next time power imbalances risk the destruction of the majority of society.

Also add wants a world where people take according to there needs and give according to there ability to do work.

So supporting all sexualities and genders as in USSR or PRC?
- A counter example is Cuba is now one of the most progressive countries when it comes to LGTBQ+ rights. Good Communists push to support all sexualities and genders but the material conditions of the country can limit and slow that development.
  Russia has been capitalist again for 20+ years and yet it isn’t a bastion of freedom for these groups.
  
  @TrippyFocus Which is, again, extremely recent, and also fraught with contradiction among its voting populace. It has an amazing constitution, but it only barely squeezed through (and is still only that — a constitution).
  Russia is not at all stable, nor is the rest of the Soviet bloc. It moved straight from the ossified and besieged socialism of the 70s and 80s into fascism, immediately embracing capitalism in crisis, and that's where it's remained.
  
  This has nothing whatsoever to do with capitalism or communism but with freedom and democracy.
- Actually existing socialism will never be good enough because building a new economic system while the Empire tries to stamp it out is hard and inevitably it won't be perfect, and if there are problems then it wasn't worth trying and we should just go back under the boot of capitalism and be grateful it's such a great boot that stomps on us.
- @harc almost like material conditions of countries on opposite ends of the globe or literal decades apart make a difference
  
  Since to my understanding, and their occasional border shootout USSR and PRC were not particularly distant, I understand you're pitching them against EU/USA? So bourgeois nation states, one established by religious puritans by means of a continent wide genocide, have some distinct advantage over 70+ years of communism, is your point?
- You get that the USSR was actually incredibly accepting of LGBTQ people post revolution, right? It wasn't until Stalin changed that when he took power that they were vilified.
  And the PRC they literally have pride parades in Shanghai and Chengdu is like the unofficially accepted LGBTQ home in China. What are you on about?
  
  I got a shirt for you.
  
  So a decade? And never really thereafter?
  We have a yearly pride in my country, just as well as very little rights for LGBTQ and the biggest fascist march in Europe, what are you trying to prove with this? And you well know what I'm on about, as your knee-yerk reaction proves in itself.
- If you can't care for some marginalized communities how can anyone trust you to care for them?
- Communists have fairly consistently been more progressive than their capitalist contemporaries on LGBT issues
  
  Pretty sure that's not the case for my region, so what do you base that opinion on?
