I call Commies as I see them. Not saying they are not well-intentioned, but then what dictator didn't want to exact their vision of utopia and break a few (million) eggs in the process of their half-baked omelette? Their naive vision proved catastrophically deadly time and time again by history. "eat the rich" is Communist. It's a self-defeating idea that places responsibility of outcome primarily on others. Nonsense, as we're present 100% of the time in our own actions, while others are fleetingly involved.
I'm not involved in politics because it's boring and pointless at an individual voter level. I do draw red lines and clearly state what they are, and what the consequences of crossing them are. I'm also of the mind that I'm free to leave whenever people around me get their hands on too much Kool-Aid. I've got no expectation for idiots to be reasonable, but I do expect them to respect individual rights and liberty.
