"If you tell a lie big enough and tell it frequently enough, people will eventually come to believe it". What is an example of this happening today? - eviltoast

    liberalism and communism are literally opposing ideology.

    But if you have a hard time naming democratic communist leaders, that’s largely because you’ve only been taught about the totalitarian ones.

      Liberal socialism is a thing. But yes, hard to have liberal values alongside the communist cancer.

      I did say they usually go together.
