They do. The problem is that the far left wants the same.

The meme is comparing the far right with the moderate left.

If it's meant to be US politics, they're comparing the far right to the near right. Our left is carefully contained so it can't affect anything.

Genuinely asking. What groups do the far left want exterminated?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Take your pick. Who they most want to exterminate is other far left who have slightly different opinions, because these are “class traitors” and “counterrevolutionaries”.

Depends on the group and the country they're from but it goes from anyone with more money than the person speaking, to any foreigners, to anyone with a brain that dares to think differently ("counter-revolutionaries").

See Cuba, north Korea, Soviet Union (and puppet states) and the lemmy instances most people defedarate from, like lemmygrad.

Maybe it's just my definition of left then, but that doesn't seem compatible with leftist views, at least in my opinion

Well, we are talking about far right and far left, not moderates.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Well most people on the right would say that the extermination of a group is also incomparable with their views.

far right. And I was specifically referring to authoritarianism with my above comment.

I thought the joke was that the alt-right says these perfectly normal things are far left?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Might be, in the US anyone asking for something as mild as universal Healthcare is quickly labeled extremist...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Genuinely asking, not trying to be a dick, do you think the far left actually want that too? What makes you say that?
