Leftist and Communist are not necessarily the same, as you well
know. I have good friends of both persuasions. We don't discuss
politics because there are so many other things that we have in
common.

That's as far into discussing politics as I intend to go on this
list. My intention was to make nice, not create further divisions.

Have a sparkling day :)  --Bernie


Correct, Bernie.   Extremism to the left OR  right isn'tgood.

Right-wingers, Conservatives view all others' perspectives as "commies"
or "liberals." ....Believe me, I knew and grew-up with a few , anddecided
to remain neutral  in discussions.  And not to emulate themlater-on.

And Left-wingers , Socialists view others' politics as militaristic,
capitalistic,imperialistic,etc, whatever "--istic" you wish to add.
I also know and have friends/relatives of that political persuasion.

....Best to remain independent and hear/weigh the facts from all sides.....
Each have their good/bad points.  "and the strength to know thedifference."

This is all I'll contribute,as this off-topic discussion winds-down.....--JK
