Being far from Constitution-loving capitalists as it’s possible to get does not make one leftist. Your perception of what makes one leftist is badly distorted.

Being far from Constitution-loving capitalists as it’s possible to get does not make one leftist. Your perception of what makes one leftist is badly distorted. At the extremes of ideology one finds people for whom the cause is more important than the truth. This typically occurs when adherents conflate being true to the cause with being correct. Consider this possibility. The writer loathes Nazism to such a degree that she hates to agree with Nazis (the real ones from Germany in the 1930s) on anything. This speaks to other things but does not suggest that both she and Nazis are leftist. It is absurd to think that a political movement will have no good ideas. As such one can find agreement or praiseworthy aspects of odious political movements. That does not suggest complete or even significant overall agreement with said political movement. I suggest that you are letting your adherence to your political ideology cloud your intellectual thinking.
