Are communists racists?
I don't see society in a straight line, but rather a circle. You can go so far "left" and so far "right" that you eventually end up side by side.
Communists are socialists. So if you go far enough left or right you are heading towards Communism.
I don't remember any communists who were black. Skin heads and KKK are considered communistic, right? So they are racists also, obviously. So are communists racists and if so how far towards communism are the people running for President? Whether you go right or left to get there, you eventually get to Communism. I know I have heard that Hillary absolutely has no respect for black people or for any people below the elite for that matter. I know Bill's brother certainly has none since I have seen him on video and I suspect Bill does not either when he is being himself. Black people are flocking to Barack because he "looks" black, but he is 1/2 white. I thought that was looked down on by the black people even more than fully black. So why are they flocking to him just because he "looks black" but really isn't?
I know some socialists use racism and some use fear to promote their agends. Like the civil war was about secession, but the north said it was about freeing the black people, which was a lie. As a matter of fact, the south was told if they would stay in the union, they could keep their slaves. So racism was used to promote the agenda which was basically the same problem we have now of the north wanting to take our liberties and the south was fighting it. Now it is more generalized, not north and south.
I don't get the whole 'far'
I don't get the whole 'far' deal, nor do I get the original seating in the French Parliament where left/right emerged, nor do I understand why the hell we use it.
Communists are slavers
Communism doesn't necessarily concern itself with race. It enslaves EVERYONE, except the ruling elite of course, regardless of race, color, or religion. Although communist regimes have had their own side agendas that sometimes included racial terror.
I agree with the other poster that the "right/left" view of politics is misleading. The only important question is "to what extent does the proferred political system support and defend the right of each individual to do with his own body, mind, life and property as he wishes?" All other distinctions are unimportant.
Communism is "groupism" as
Communism is "groupism" as is Democracy as is Socialism. Racism is groupism/collectivism. However, a Communist does not have to "group" based on race, he can "group" based on religion, ethnicity (which is not race - Jews are an ethnic group not a race), class, demographics, or by labor.
Also, just because a person lives in a Communist run country does not make him a Communist. Individuals form groups to protect their interests from others -- It takes a strong Judicial system to support liberty in its truest sense -- the World has yet to see it.

So
I know they are racist against jewish people. Although there are Jewish communists or socialists for sure. Confusing. It is hard to keep it all straight.
But are communists racists against black people? If so, how far into socialism are the people on the left and how far into socialism are the people on the so called right?
You guys are really confused
Communism, as was practiced by Russia, was led by ethnic (white, atheist) Jews. Communists/Socialists/Democrats pretend to love Black people in order to enslave them in this system. Note Barack Obama, who works for AIPAC, has the most expensive plans of any presidential candidate; promising Black youth increased benefits for joining the military; he doesn't plan on bringing the troops home at all. He also does not plan to liberate prisoners, as Ron Paul does.
nah
Nolan chart has "fascist" and "socialist" as opposites, which is missing a huge point.
They are not opposites any more than burning to death and freezing to death are the two opposite extremes of what can happen to someone.
I would argue that "living happily" is the true opposite of both burning AND freezing to death.
Also, why is "free" all the way up in one corner as if it were an extreme position?
stalin had his own death
stalin had his own death camps (where he did the same types of things that hitler did). ANY society that does not value the INDIVIDUAL will be racist and harmful to minority groups.

This is a better gage than the whole right-left thing.
