    Socialism/Communism/Anarchism. Barely anyone who actually understands them and the theory supporting them hates them, but tons of people have been fed Red Scare propaganda on the matter.

      Historians studying them don’t hate, true, but we also don’t hate plague or dog shit on the road.

        That’s a bit of a non-answer, isn’t it? I’m clearly referring to implementing leftist structures today, not historically.

          Never tried for real, I see.

          Why would one hate right ideas then, of the libertarian kind.

            Read my other comment, it absolutely has been tried. If your point is that the relatively few historical examples are a sufficient sampling of data to determine that people sharing tools can never work, then I’m afraid you don’t understand numbers, nor historical analysis.

            You can learn from what has and has not worked, and analyze structures. It’s possible! You just have to do it.

              If your point is …

              You know, of course, that the answer to that “if” is usually “no”, and this is called a strawman argument.

              … then I’m afraid …

              No reason to be afraid! Sing and dance and hug your family, friends and house animals.

              … relatively few historical examples … people sharing tools …

              People have been sharing tools since eating less fortunate breeds of people, the optimal architecture of that is the point of contention.

                  I’ve literally finished my comment with it.

                    You pretended you had a point, but left it open.

      If only there wasn’t a wealthy, parasitic, world-dominating country which would violently overthrow (or at least try) any country which didn’t kowtow to capitalism, and the Parasite Class.
