People on the left promote tolerance and freedom. Name even one authoritarian government/dictator that promotes tolerance and freedom. And a bullshit answer that Soviet Union/North Korea are on the left is just a bullshit answer since they are even more anti-tolerance/anti-freedom than Nazi Germany was. And what's equally as bullshit is that idiotic whining/argument that "Those leftist are so racist because they don't let me be racist". No shit? How could they even be anti-racist if they would just say that "Be as racist as you want. We let all the flowers grow."

"People on the left promote tolerance and freedom. "

no what people on the left promote is equality and what people on the right promote is hierarchy

both doctrines are good and must be balanced to have a proper society while acknowledging that a society can never be perfect no matter what methods you use

the problem occurs when either side takes their particular doctrine too far and this results in intolerance and trampling of rights in different ways

 

i don't believe i have to explain this but a doctrine that promotes equality over all when taken too far can obviously result in intolerance and loss of freedom rights?

because people are inherently different... so... how do you narrow down the differences between them? by imposing laws that restrict their ability to express their differences

we saw that in its most extreme form in the soviet union, communist china etc etc etc where millions died 

to state that the leftist doctrine can only be good and that there's no corrupt element inherent in it is so exceedingly ignorant that i almost can't believe i read what you posted

"The problem occurs when either side takes their particular doctrine too far and this results in intolerance and trampling of rights in different ways."

I agree with that, but equality is still much better than hierarchy. And equality has never been implimented 100%. Hierarchy on the other hand often leads to shitty/deathly result. 

"We saw that in its most extreme form in the soviet union, communist china etc etc etc where millions died." How are the people equal in a dictatorship were the few are on the top and the rest are practically slaves?
