what are the broad ideals for these differing political opinions? Disregard extremists, you cant call a democrat a communist as you cant call a republican a nazi - they are both in the centre but differ in a way.

but what are these differences? Are they really about to bring significant reform or even collaspe to society as we know it?

What is a "liberal"? Is the opposite scary?

>>First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out — because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the communists
and I did not speak out — because I was not a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out — because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me —
and by then there was no one left to speak out for me.

I don't know if it was rhetorical or not, but...communism, atleast in form, has no formal gov't or state. In nazism, everything was about the good of the state and was totalitarian. Though perverted forms of pseudocommunism have existed as totalitarian regimes, this is not what it was meant to be.
