Vive la Revolution.

over the years of my posting on HC I've noted, of course, teh dominance of far right posters who cannot recognise any political pathway than their own and deride other, non-right posters as COMMUNISTS and SOCIALISTS.

I've read so many posts of the non-right and never have I seen any post anything even remotely communist or even coloured by extreme socialist views.

Synonyms of socialism

1

: any of various egalitarian economic and political theories or movements advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

If modern socialism was born in 19th-century Europe, it was subsequently shaped by, and adapted to, a whole range of societies.—Michael Newman

Socialism is about a change in the means of production—so that the people who do the work are the ones who make the decisions about what gets produced and how.—Sarah Jaffe

see also DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM, GUILD SOCIALISM, UTOPIAN SOCIALISM

2

a

: a system of society or group living in which there is no private property

b

: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state

Many socialists today believe that socialism is not inevitable but must be built slowly and laboriously by the political and economic actions of men and women seeking a freer and more just society.—Richard Schmitt

compare CAPITALISM, COMMUNISM

the highlight is the main point of Socialism. so far as I'm aware we are all capitalists on HC. we support the established system of production. we don't argue that workers (unions) should control the means of production or even radical changes to the political distribution of wealth.

are there any among its posters who think that such extreme political philosophy should rule Aus? I seriously doubt it.

so its time the right stopped denigrating views they don't hold by calling everyone who doesn't comply with their vision as communist or socialists.
