"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?   

"I agree with that, but equality is still much better than hierarchy."

oh ok so.. do we need to desegregate women's and men's sports?

take away the special protections women have in the law against sexual violence?

take away most of your possessions and give them to the homeless?

those methods would all promote equality so why not?

 

"How are the people equal in a dictatorship were the few are on the top and the rest are practically slaves?   "

how do you suppress the differences that people naturally they have which would normally lead to hierarchy without some type of control system?

 

seriously where are you absorbing these ridiculously incoherent ideas from? school?
