    I know a lot of people who hate fascists and communists. It’s kind of a thing, in democratic countries, to be wary of extremists.

    I’m not saying this fully describes Ted, obviously he had mental issues. But pushing away extreme lefties with one hand and extreme righties with the other doesn’t make Ted any different than your average American.

        Any thoughts you’d like to share? Knowledge you’d like to drop?

        I don’t mean this in a hostile way. I can clearly infer that, in your opinion, communism does not represent an extreme viewpoint. I hope that you can likewise infer that my comments were a shorthand representation of American politics and not meant to offend anyone.

          No, i couldn’t, but by that lens you’re absolutely spot on.

          Neither was i offender nor does this comment contain sarcasm.
