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.

'people we don’t like shouldn’t exist' .. you mean like, landlords? People who oppose the Great Leap Forward? Does 'gulag' sound familiar?

Communism on paper sounds great. But in reality, over and over again, communism has lead to the deaths of millions.

No, both positions are obviously not the same, but they are not polar opposites either. Both extremes are bad.
