    I honestly don’t see how the idea of everyone getting an equal share is an extremist idea in the same vein as a racist ideology. I’m also unsure why you’re being downvoted for pointing out the obvious there.

      I agree.

      Should I be labelled an extremist for being completely fine with, let’s say, a completely democratic business structure, where workers have equal say? A public transport system owned by the people, to serve the people? An education system owned by teachers, allowing teachers to do their best, instead of being overworked and having to pay for classroom supplies at their own cost? Nowhere does it say we’d remove the options for people to use a car, or force them into a packed subway or whatever, and nobody claims it would be a magical perfect system that solves all issues. But somehow the mere idea is extremist 🤯

      This idea being conflated/confused with an authoritarian leadership style also causes a lot of problems IMO
