Look, I know you’ve only churned out this Howard Kirk garbage to mess with the horrible “right wingers”.

But it would really help your case for “left wingism” or “progressivism” or whatever it is you advocate if you could state what your case actually is, instead of assuming that your beliefs are self-evident, no justification or explanation is required, and anyone who thinks otherwise deserves only mockery.

If libertarianism and conservatism are such bad ideas, and progressivism is so good, then it should be really easy to get to the heart of the matter and explain why, in terms so simple that even a thicky right winger could understand them. Right now, there may be good reasons for the things you believe, but if they’re buried somewhere inside Das Kapital I really can’t be bothered to figure out what they are.
