Extreme left wingers are people who want the government to pay for more, and want the government to regulate business more.

I'm not saying they are liberal opinions; they are opinions held by extreme leftists. I disagree that extreme left wingers are what you have described; I think your description is a description of "the left" in general, i.e. pretty common left wing opinions.

The extreme left holds opinions that aren't shared by the majority of the left.

Agreed, and once again, how does what you call the extreme left, compare to the extreme right in numbers and political influence?

I'm not sure about the numbers, but I'd wager they are similar in size. In terms of political influence, well like I've said before, Trump's election could be arguably the first time the far right have actually been in power, so the sample size is pretty small already.

Not even close

Only if you don't consider all the very vocal republicans mainstream conservatives. Trump isn't the first to run on a xenophobic ticket. He's only the first to be very outspoken on the matter. I consider anyone running an anti LGBT agenda to be a rightwing extremist also. Trump didn't arise from nothing. The soil already was fertile when he won the election.

I doubt very much that the same can be said on the extreme left.

Ok, so have you got any statistics to back that up? Happy to be shown that my instinct is wrong but I'm not just going to take your word for it.

I won't shed any tears for an Authoritarian state that has visibly struck back over Cold War arguments.

For now, the only good Russian is a dead Russian.

I hadn't previously realized what a despicable piece of shit you are. Interesting.

Considering what else has crawled through this forum before, that is quite a laugh. Then again, the worst enemy isn't your enemy but those on your side, isn't it?

Make nice with Putin and the Alt Right in the name of your decency (not theirs, they never cared much for it anyways). You and others like you have already damned us all.

And before your foolish ideology of Leftism intervenes, have you considered the Ukrainians and the Syrians? They're all unwilling participants in the Russians weapon tests to market their goods.

Fuck Russia.

What the fuck?

Oh sure, I am quaking in fear of a moralistic judgement made by a self professed xenophobic nationalist who thinks Brexit will empower a resource poor island long since past its superpower heyday.

Don't worry, you'll always bounce back. Fascists and nationalists are very much back "in". You'll do fine in spite of your miscellaneous outrages. You are held to a lower standard.
