If you could, how would you deprogram an extreme liberal? (links.hackliberty.org)

How would you approach persuading a far extreme liberal toward center? What would you set as a realistic goal for a productive discourse? Would it be better attempt to do so in person rather than online?

one party

A well known issue with the left is that leftwing parties tend to split into a million different fractions.

corruption

Pretty sure a key feature of left-wing policy is transparency and removal of money in politics. Contrast to, for example, the recent US (right wing) supreme court ruling that bribery is totally legal as long as you do it beforehand.

executions

Unless this is your dog whistle for freedom to have an abortion, you're just Imaging this. The death penalty is very much opposed by every left wing group or person.

burning of books,

Maybe, maybe at the far end, republishing books with disclaimers about the period they were written in..

those things happened in my country when we were under Soviet communist occupation.

And do you think the Soviet Union under Stalin was very leftwing? Or were they just extremely authoritarian? Did they practice much egalitarianism, or did they merely say they did? We're they anti-war? Pro multiculturalism?

Another internet warrior making stuff up. Everything I said happened in my country and happens in every communist country. Your "No True Scotsman" is boring and uninspiring.
