    “There are sheltered teenagers on the internet with dumb political views, which is indistinguishable from actual attempted sedition by current members of government”

    Couldn’t hit you over the head with it any harder.

        Show me one case of far left political organisation taking control of any country worldwide in the last 60 years.

          I can only think of one example.

          It is my understanding, and please someone correct me if I’m wrong, that after Nepal ended its monarchy in the 1990s, a democratically elected Marxist-Leninist party took control.

          And then they lost the elections eventually and a socialist party took control.

          But that’s all I can come up with.

              Sorry, I must have misunderstood you. I thought you were saying the world has been moving steadily rightward (which, in my observation, it sadly has) and there were so few examples of things moving to the left in any country in the past 50 years considering corporations are the ones actually pulling the strings.
