    Yep. There's nothing "right-wing" or "conservative" about oppressive dictatorships. At least they weren't communists, thank Jebus.

    Congrats, again, on your new tax deduction!



    Yeah, and it's a progressive one at that, so I strongly support it.



    I think the child tax credit was another one of those that Clinton co-opted from the right-wing Republicans.

    This is why I don't consider myself left-wing. I consider myself a liberal. Both right and left are ultimately authoritarian. It's even hard to tell whether a particular system is left or right wing at the extremes. Is Nazism left or right? I'm not sure, but it's polar opposite to liberalism, as I see it.



    I don't see how you can equate authoritarianism with extreme right or extreme left because I don't think one requires the other.
