A guy who I've known many decades said that my embrace of the far left had lowered his opinion of me a lot.

We were talking about wealth taxes, qua my earlier post about 90% tax rates. But not just income taxes, estate taxes, real estate taxes, generally speaking, asset taxes.

The billionaire class has to cease to exist. What the bootlickers defending them seem to not understand, is that this is the *nice* way to make that happen.

"You're not far left," a buddy says.

In a world with fascists controlling every part of the federal government, I'm disinclined to argue with "far left" as a description. At least it clearly distinguishes me from the Nazis.

Compared to Europe the US basically has one party with two right wings.
@nekodojo white people in Europe often think that. None of them belong to political parties as diverse as the Democratic Party.
