>>Why they are okay with calling out the far right but not okay calling out the far left I will never understand So help me out here. "Far right" is usually full of brilliant ideas like lets round people up and deport them without due process, doesn't matter where - or starting to look into getting rid of people with fully legal right to stay, or saying that they haven't seen a single white face in a town somehow isn't racist and is a perfectly normal thing to say. In the meantime far left is doing.....what exactly. Saying that we need to tax the rich? That everyone should have healthcare? That people should be free to decide their gender? Honestly, help me out - what are those "far left" ideas that you say should be labeled as "extreme"?

If we're genuinely asking, real actual communism comes into play. I think children being raised by government programs and not their parents would be extreme left. Making it so that no one can have more than $1 million to their name would be extreme left. Forcing people to be impregnated and give up those babies to government to be raised by them would also be extreme. Maybe left? Prohibiting religions. Making it illegal to be Christian/Muslim/Buddhist/anything. Making it illegal to have a gender. The problem of oversimplifying everything into a spectrum of left and right means that there's no room for ideas to exist not on that spectrum.

    Forced euthanasia for people when they reach the age of 70. Legalized post-birth abortion until the child is 3. Testing people and sorting them into castes (alpha, beta, gamma, etc). Legalizing all drugs. I don't know if any real world political parties actually back these ideas, these are drawn from science fiction novels.
