why do we always see this absurd reductionism from the right directed towards anyone espousing any kind of left wing views?
if you say the distribution of wealth should be fairer as it is currently skewed too far towards the top 1% they'll accuse you of wanting to live in the GDR or the Soviet Union under an oppressive regime.
it doesn't seem to work the other way i.e. when someone is calling for less state interference in the market they aren't immediately accused of wanting no state at all and to live in a Somali like anarchy.
why do right wingers do this? are they incapable of understanding a nuanced view on things?
