Am I the only one who gets bunch of posts from leftist and even communist subs/circlejerks in their feed? It’s kinda weird to see genzedong and similar popping up in hot/rising feed. This just hopefully some of the growing pains of a new platform.

    the middle is necessarily right wing

    If the left is “seize the means of production, eat the rich”

    and the right “free market, corporations are good, pull yourself up by your own bootstraps”

    then the middle would be what? Everything stay the same? if that’s your answer, then the fact that capital ownership is protected under every single system on earth would mean that the middle helps capitalism

    if the middle is reformism, then it is an ideology that distracts the working class from actual class war and crates reforms that can be taken away any time at all if the economy is bad, which by now should be clear that that will happen again and again, no matter what we try.

    Why do you think rightists never complain about the “political center”, but communists like me always rant about how stupid the idea is? It’s because a centrist is useful to the right wing, and disruptive to everyone else

      The middle ground is an open dialogue where people can coexist with opposing views and debate. The fast that you took me as meaning that everyone needed to be some kind of die hard centrist instead of just listening to opposing worldviews for once in your life is a great example of the problem.
