Well your certainly more left (commie) than right (capitalist) imo however what the media calls right these days isn't really right imo because today's 'right' is more like how Labor was with Hawke imo rather than actually being 'right wing' as it use to be a few decades ago, all politics have shifted left over the years in the west and a continuation of this leads to communism or something close to it imo, whereas China has been moving away from communism or the left side and more towards the 'right' even if it's still authoritarian like. I do think though all historical attempts at communism have been worse for the peoples than historical capitalism attempts thus as things stand i would prefer to live in a corrupt capitalist system than a corrupt communist one. If one could eliminate corruption and have freedoms for people in a communist system i don't think it would be as bad or risky however i also think a fundamental human thing is that we're not really equal, i could never run as fast as Bolt for example no matter how much i tried and 8 billion others can't either, theres intelligent Lawyers and dumb Lawyers, we all have different levels of ability and if someone is able to contribute more or better than someone else in society how does communism deal with that? I guess your right about right and left using forms of social engineering, one thing about Chinas approach is that they are honest about it to their peole and the World, everyone knows they filter all the info, whereas here in the West they deceive the masses imo, it took Donald to raise awareness about our fake news and it took Musk to prove it to the world in the Twitter files, along with congress exposing Facebooks governemnt directed filtering of info etc etc.

I am not communist and think it’s impossible. So what makes you continue to say I’m a commie. In fact you might answer a question that no one who happily labels people left and right has ever answered what is left wing? what is right wing? what is capitalist? what is communist?
