Communism is not left wing

In languages which flow from left to right, being of the left will be seen as a good thing, the default case, leading up to something oppositional and right wing. To be left-wing is to be good. However, politically coercion is not good and so we are best served by removing the descriptor of ‘left’ from coercionist and collectivist ideologies.

    It might be different where you are, but in Europe the term ‘left wing’ has connotations of niceness and virtue. To say that communism is not left wing, in this European context means that it is not nice.

    Most people know that communism is wrong, in some sense, but they still do not see it as conventionally bad.
