> So you clearly don't fully grasp the political climate in the US, but you feel you're somehow qualified to dictate America doesn't have a left?

No, I very much do. However, I don't know their specific positions well enough to offer an educated opinion. Maybe you'd like to? I try not to speak to things I don't have sufficient knowledge of. I also didn't realize having an opinion counts as "dictating" -- I was pretty sure it fell under the free speech umbrella ;)

> Communism is not "inevitable"

That's not communism, I suggest you fetch a dictionary. It's not communism any more than the monthly check everyone in Alaska (a republican stronghold) receives for their oil revenue. It's not communism any more than the right wanting to streamline administration of social programs by cutting people a check in lieu. But either way, I'm curious what you suggest we do with the people we don't need doing jobs.

> No, civil rights are a left position, in actuality, a democratic republic such as the US should have some mix of both left and right policy to function freely, it is not the other way around.

Which exactly civil rights do you think are a left vs right instead of a table stakes position?
