The Left emphasizes Diversity ... not Unity.
The Left says that "Diversity Is Our Strength."

So, based on this, obviously an integral part of Trump's platform that got him elected as president of all citizens, is to include the notions of diversity into unity ... and then dance.

Not only is he incredibly generous to give the country a place to dance, and a reason to dance, as a gift at no cost to those who don't like dancing and not eating in tents ...

... he may even have this transcribed to waltz time, although those with late stage TDS may go completely over the edge ...

Walker, will you please refrain from posting things like that until AFTER you have some notion of what the left is, its history, its various different lines/traditions. Makes you look silly (makes it clear you haven't a clue). The traditional left certainly is all about UNITY, unity of the working class against the exploiting class. Other identifications that cross that boundary are deprecated. The LEFT pretends to emphasize diversity, etc, but only if it makes no difference, only so long as they can pretend.

As soon as identification with the diversity begins to interfere in the least with "class struggle" it will be cast out, declared reactionary, counter-revolutionary, etc.

Now about "masked, unbadged, enforcement agents" ----- Walker, please explain to me (so I know should encounter one) how I am to distinguish between a real such agent and a street thug?

How is seeing an agent's face, instead of a mask, going to tell you that?

1950's liberalism is not today's Left.

See the pretty rainbow.

Breitbart accuses Graham Platner of being simultaneously a communist and a Nazi. And Walker thinks it worth sharing. lol

Question to AI:
Which political party says diversity is our strength?

Did you not read? NOT just about masks but lack of badges, etc. This should NOT be a (current) left-right thing. There is something wrong with conservatives today that they are not equally outraged at the loss of our liberties. THAT is why the liberals and the left have begun calling the right "fascist". I, for one, would like to hear CONSERVATIVE voices in the political conversation instead of them being banished from the Republicans.

1950's liberalism is not today's Left.
Walker, you are so ill educated about "the left" that you would be having the SAME PROBLEM in the 50's. You would NOT be able to distinguish between a 50's garden variety liberal and a 50's card carrying member of the Communist Party USA by some difference in the issues they were publicly supporting (PS: I don't think they actually went around with cards in their wallets)

In any case. IN THE 50's it would be Republicans, not Democrats who were the liberals on many of the social issues alive today.

Why not? Nazi means "National Socialist." Communist means, "International Socialist." They're quarrelling cousins, not opposites.

If you read Mein Kampf and The Communist Manifesto, you'd know that they are far closer to each other than they are different: both totalitarian, big-State, racist, anti-private-property, utopian, antisemitic, militaristic, oppressive collectivist disasters foisted on the world by idiot ideologues. And they both have prison camps and torture chambers, and both have killed millions upon millions of innocents.

Sounds like a family squabble, to me.

No Mike Novack. That's not what it's about.

It's about the governor of California going out of his way to make it easy to identify federal agents who are tasked with rounding up illegals, making them easy targets for the cartels to intimidate with a bounty.

Can't you read?

You have a better grasp of it than Walker. But IC, if you are going back to Marx please note that MOST of the things listed would have entered Marxism LATER (than Marx) and not properly associated with all strands of Marxism.

For Walker's benefit, "the left" is much like Christianity in that divided into many "sects" many of which deny that that the others are "leftists" just as some Christian sects deny others are Christian.

Far from being "part of the left, since the revolt of leftists within the party going back to before coming into the open in 2016, the Democrats have been fighting on two fronts. What you have to understand is that on many issues, the same side. The Democrats have to struggle to prevent those issues where they differ from coming under discussion (public political discourse)

Understand? "Obamacare" was to defuse the issue "universal health care"

I disagree. Between his famed "Hegel" essay and "Das Kapital," along with "The Communist Manifesto," one finds very, very clear evidence that Marx was advocating all these things.

And what's really going to shatter the illusion of any informed Marxist about differences is reading Mussolini's "The Doctrine of Fascism." There, they are going to see that the differences between Fascism and Communism are mostly cosmetic, and that Mussolini, who began as a member of the Italian Socialist Party, really stole almost all of what he wrote from Communist theory.

Fanatical totalitarians think alike, it turns out.

For Walker's benefit...The Democrats have to struggle to prevent those issues where they differ from coming under discussion (public political discourse)

"Public political discourse" is the basic requirement of the democratic process. That the public should be informed of, and enabled to debate the various policies on offer for their vote is their essential democratic method. What you're saying then, is that lately, the Dems have had one heck of a time presenting a unified front, so as to bamboozle the voting public into voting for them without understanding what they all really stand for.

That's a heck of a confession for them.

An American, self-proclaimed communist wearing a Nazi tattoo is consistent with the anti-Americanism aspect of diversity that is so beloved by The Democrat Party That Hates America.

As with you, his stupidity certainly has nothing to do with me, other than to point out that The Democrat Party that Hates America wants him in political office on behalf of The Party (not the people).

IC has already pointed out the consistency of idiocy in the fellow whose befuddlement as a Democrat is in itself enough of a disqualification for rationality ... which parallels your capacity.

By purposely presenting false information you're abusing the new invention of AI, and the potential of AI.

Pointing out that you're the abusive type likely to abuse the invention of a robot servant in the privacy of your own home, in devious ways we would rather not imagine, has nothing to do with me or anyone else, but you ... and the robot who will be recording your, shall we say, needs.

This is why robot CPU's will likely be recycled, but the bodies will be unreturnable ... which has nothing to do with me, but rather with those attached to their delusions of the other.

All the sects of Leftist idiots voted Biden into office, under the umbrella of The Democrat Party That Hates America.

Did you know that?

There are supposedly 81 million of them. They're everywhere, but as the popularity of The Democrat Party That Hates America wanes, at least according to the polls, they're getting harder to find ... like those folks who used to proudly say get rid of the cops, and those who didn't denounce them but rather supported them and denounced their critics, gave tacit approval. History repeats in principles, details such as countries and languages change with the times.

Beetlejuice is a Leftist
