Why do low-IQ people think a Liberal is a left-wing communist?

The fraud of Socialism/Communism has repeatedly failed and lead to the deaths of millions of people, thus commies don't want to wear the brand and take responsible for past crimes against humanity. So they do what all criminals do when they have an inferior product in an aggressive marketplace that faces trouble with consumer credibility... They re-brand the product under a new name. It's just like what WorldCom did when they were mired in turmoil during the largest accounting scandal in American history. They rebranded the company as MCI and then shuffled themselves into Verizon... Today, Verizon is a household name. Most people know from history that the USSR was horrible for people. They know that National Socialism under Hitler was bad for the world... They hear the world communism or socialism and they say to themselves I may not really understand it all but I know it's bad. So the commies that want to run the same crime again the people of Earth say we need a new. Lets steal something people respect like liberty. Liberty has a great ring to it, it's wholesome and has a loyal following, we'll hijack it from the Americans and use it to sell communism under a new name. People will eat it up...

Nuance is generally lost on people who are not too bright. For instance, people who do not understand thatr Socialism is a political system, and Communism is an economic system, and thus conflate the two.

Unwarranted category collapse is a feature, not a bug, of limited understanding.

This country is full of propaganda from both parties trying to convince their voters the other parties are terrorists trying to destroy our country.

Sadly the American voters love the propaganda and love the feeling they are saving the country from pretend threats so they can feel important for once

Why are you anon? Anyway there is a strong socialist/communist component to the left wing un the US today where there wasn’t one 20 years ago.

When you vote for the Democrats you are voting for socialism and communism as well since they have abandoned their own failing parties and have started to take over the Democrat party as they will get more votes… from people just like you.

[strateguy632]

same reason high i. q. know that "actions are more important" than paper charts.

because the concurrent liberals are doing that in action.

[Anonymous]

I'm sorry to put it like that but those are not low-IQ people, those are simply Americans or American cultured people, in America they don't understand that original liberalism is centre to centre-right ideology and it has nothing to do with left-wing.

[BoopBoopBeep]

It doesn't matter what originally it means because if you use that meaning then nobody would know what you're talking about, same as if you said "wow I could surely wrap my lips around a f*g right now!" and americans would have no idea you want a cigarette

[Opinion Owner]

No this is not right, if people are ignorants, you don't have to be like them just so they would understand what you talk about.

[abc3643]

You answered your own question. "Low IQ"

Same reason liberals think people who want to control immigration are far right neo nazis.

[goaded]

What was the last bill that got proposed opening up the borders to everyone? I'll wait.

In the meantime: there are laws controlling immigration. The system is overwhelmed so that they can't be enforced. Biden asked Congress on day one of his presidency for funding for 3 or 4 thousand more Border Patrol agents and another thousand to counter fentanyl imports (which are mostly by US citizens at ports of entry), and to have more judges to handle the backlog (which would allow people to be deported), and got nothing.

What makes people think that Republicans are "far right neo nazis" is that they're happy to see women and children drown at the border, rather than give them a chance to make their case in court.

@goaded I'm referring to UK context. Don't care about yanks

[gorydetails]

They don’t. The low IQ folks think current liberals are compassionate open minded individuals.

[OddBeMe]

Ehh, charts like that are interesting. But i think a circle is more apt.

Thus Stalin and Hitler were right next to each other on opposite sides, but damn near hard to tell apart.

[ProbablyClueless]

Seriously... They were so similar that the argument that they were on the same side is pretty compelling.

I guess an authoritarian asshole is just an authoritarian asshole, at the end of the day.

[OddBeMe]

@ProbablyClueless correct. Origins can come from left and right. I don’t blame a center right wing person today for far right wing aholes. We have this combative one up-manship thing that keeps people from talking to each other.

[goaded]

@ProbablyClueless "an authoritarian asshole is just an authoritarian asshole, at the end of the day". Agreed!

(This is something rule of law and democracy are designed to avoid.)

[OddBeMe]

@goaded late stage capitalism was the danger we didn’t see.

Ike: Fuck you guys!

[catsmemoir]

Same reason Low IQ people think conservatives are Nazis I guess.

[Paul09]

Being into politics is like having low IQ. Such a useless subjects. Stop it with the politics. It's all lies and corruption ok all sides.

[1User12345]

Because your views are illogical and far out that's why you are considered in left field else wise a bigoted militant.

[AngryCarl]

It's not just low-IQ people. The media has been gaslighting you since birth.

[Anonymous]

Sorry but, it's the low I. Q. people that ARE the liberal left-wing communists.

[888theGreat]

Because they act and sound like one

[handsomelad70]

Because they're Trump-loving goobers.

[Anonymous]

Because many of them are.

[Anonymous]

Because you are as dangerous as Stalin.
