Being left-leaning does not mean you are a communist.

I don't know how many times I have to say this, it's like people on the left side of the political spectrum are stuck in this mentality that the right side is calling us communists so we'll be called communists. <br><br>Realistically, the only people I have met that called themselves communists are either leftists or people who did not understand what communism was. <br><br>Communism is a dictatorship, a government where everyone works and contributes. Communism is the complete opposite of the left-leaning ideology, the left is pro democracy and pro workers rights. <br><br>So, leftists, stop calling yourself communists, you are not communists. You can be any combination of anything, but you are not communists. <br><br>And to you right-leaning people, stop calling leftists communists.<br><br>Communists are like the "socialists" of the right, except that the right has an actual understanding of what socialism is.
