The Crazy Left

[kydo]

70. Once there was a crazy left

but come on ... either end of the political/social-whatever scale is just the fundamental core of which ever ideology at its most extreme. On the right, it is conservatives and when it becomes extreme it mutates into the fascists we have now calling them selves the tea bag party. On the left its liberals and when it becomes extreme its just chaos. Which is why most *ahem* crazy left movements don't last long.

But there have been in our past groups that one would consider the far left, crazy lefty. The anti war movement in the 1960's, the war movement was good but it morphed into groups that bombed places. Then early in the 1900's 1919-1920's there was Eugene Debs and all the union movements red scare stuff. The unions was a good thing but the fight was ugly.

My point is yes there has been a crazy left but because of what the nature of the left is the crazy left will never be as dangerous as the crazy right. Extreme conservatism doesn't mutate well.

But do I know I am a part of the crazy left
