    Well I compare the extreme left with the extreme right since it is basically the same imho. Different reasoning for the mindset of “what’s not with us is against us”.

    No offense, but this is a childish view of politics. The extreme left is categorized by trying to care for the entire population, the extreme right is categorized by intense nationalism, xenphobia, and brutal class stratification.

    Communists committed the same crimes as the Nazis so of into the same cell and the key is best disposed of.

    No, they did not. Read Blackshirts and Reds. The Communists and the Nazis represented entirely different groups, and the Communists dramatically improved the lives of their citizenry while the Nazis brutally crushed them.

    And the other big problem with pure socialism:

    Why hasn’t it worked yet? No Utopia as of yet, only repression, human rights violation and death.

    It has worked and continues to work. Read more than US state propaganda. Utopianism is anti-Marxist, Marxists advocate for Scientific Socialism.

    It’s as if the human factor is the point where there is change needed, not the system itself.

    This is Idealism. What’s considered Human Nature is expressed and reinforced by the system itself, the Mode of Production.

    Read a book sometime.
