This website says that Communism is left-wing. https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/political-science/economic-systems-communism
Wikipedia also says that Communism is considered left-wing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism
To be clear, I don't give a shit what Socialism or Communism are, I only care how people use the terms. The National Socialsts called themelves Socialists. The Soviet Union called themselves Communists. Most sources I find online say that Communism and Socialism are left-wing economic systems. As I understand it, @sitting at an airport bar was arguing that left-wing countries have never gone to war, and therefore left wing countries are good. If you now want to butt-into our conversation and argue that left wing countries are good and therefore no country that has gone to war was a left wing country, then the argument is now fully circular.
No offense though, I don't want to assume your beliefs and reasoning are identical to Airport Alcoholic's. If you want to just argue about what social and economic policies a country should adopt then I would gladly rise above the abstract, color-coded tautologies and the meaningless semantic arguments to have a more concrete and meaningful semantic argument with you about what state actions can be considered "good". What do you think?
