There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

Was talking about this with someone today. People, especially the right-winged, will associate the so-called far left wing with Communism/Marxism. But I find it weird that any scale would just happen to have that as the far end of the spectrum. If you were to go down the scale to the very, very end, what political statement/remark would be the closest thing to the very tip of the spectrum? Something like "the robots should take over" or something?

These conflicts are irreconcilable because it is the nature of the relationship. This is the concept of "class war". It is inherently violent.

People who are pro capitalist are not on the left.

They might be liberals. Liberalism is not a left wing project.

Far from being no-true leftists, there are many millions of leftists globally. Every one of them works in their way for the abolition of capital.

Whether you agree with the ideas or not is no issue here. The question is where they are characteristics of the Left. If you disagree with the ideas, you are not on the left.
