What all defines a left wing fanatic... - Dallas Dance Music - Dallas nightlife, music, tickets, and more

List your views, thoughts, or items as briefly as possible and preferrably as bulleted as possible... this is not a debate, but to build awareness for us of what left and right thinkers in this forum would define as a left wing fanatic... This might be interesting, if everybody behaves and follows the directions, non oppresively of course ;-)

I don't believe I've coined either of those phrases on here. Why? Because I don't believe my beliefs are utopic or ideal. There's always something more to aspire to, first and foremost. Second, I think people are capable of hammering out a truly democratic society.

We should really just do this in one thread.

I wasn't accusing of being either necessarily - i was suggesting that idealism untempered by reality and pragmatism can lead one off into the wilderness
