So the down vote was based on 'poor quality content'?
Ok, fair enough.
(pssst -I have no left/right bias - they are both the same evils just using different routes to get there - authoritarianism).

I've been gathering that you do understand that both sides are the same, but you lay all the vitriol (that I've seen so far) on the left. This is why some of your work comes across (to me) as just complaining that it's not better liked. It's hard to tell if you've been brainwashed by the right, or just being antagonistic specifically toward the left because most of the whales around here are left leaning, or just not aware that you seem to see all the enemies on one side.
None of your posts that I've seen so far show equal vitriol to all forms of extremism. If you don't understand why someone might jump to the conclusion you're a Trump supporter, then you're really not hearing the tone of your posts.

My 'vitriol' towards the left (not the right) is because the cultural zeitgeist (which is changing), is the current position.
Ergo, this is the one being attacked.
I can't decide for you, how you choose to hear what I say.
I leave that to the readers discernment and intellect.
Your vitriol for the left in your posts precedes the recent change of power, and the election. If you think the left has been in control of everything since before then, well then you really don't see both sides as the same evil, do you?
The left have been in control since 1913 (with a few blips in that timeline).
Central banking is socialism/communism.
(it becomes 'the central means of production', and the redistribution of wealth through coercion, devaluing of currency, and arbitrary interest rates)
I've already stated the 'left' and 'right' paradigms - authoritarianism - are the same thing, so why ask the question , again?
Because when you use the word 'left' but mean 'authoritarian', people are going to keep wondering, 'is this guy on the right?' You consider the Fed to be left wing? It's a private bank FFS. It is run by people with no interest at all in socialism, communism, or any other -ism. My best guess is that they have a hoarding disorder.
You throw words like communism and socialism around like the very idea, or even the word itself, is evil. Do you have any idea about what these ideas are supposed to be?
Communism doesn't imply that a few people at the top take everything and just give what they want to the rest of us, everything is supposed to be divided equally among every person, regardless of their status. Does that sound like the mentality of a Fed chairman? It doesn't fail because it's an inherently flawed or evil idea, it fails because people are too flawed to share equally, even if there is more than enough for everyone.
Socialism wasn't meant to be a central control of everything, it's supposed to simply be production being owned by the workers. There's a lot of reasons why that could be a good idea, and a lot of reasons why it almost never works. At the end of the day, though, the idea itself is just an idea, it's the people attempting it that fail or succeed, make it work for good or evil.
The problem with religion, government, financial constructs, and all this bullshit that we lump into society isn't the basic idea of any of them. The problem that they all share is corruption. Whenever people in authority work to enrich themselves, those people will prosper while others suffer, no matter what your -ism is. This is why democratically chosen (or other 'rule by consent') authorities are so vital to a functional government... if you can't revoke the authority of people who abuse their power, they will quickly ensure that they can only be removed by force.
Personally, I would love to see a day without governments. I don't really think we need them as much as we once did, and if I'm wrong, well, I'm in a pretty good position to become a regional tribal warlord.
