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?

Far left extremism. Soviets wanted to create utopia where everyone is equal, except the leaders of course. That’s not gonna change. And then it cascades into straight up dictatorship.
Still sounds like fascism.
Indeed it does. That was my whole point.
If someone hands you a bowl of shit and tells you it’s chocolate pudding, that doesn’t make actual chocolate pudding shitty.
But, I can definitely understand being skeptical of chocolate pudding after eating a bowl of shit.
At the very least I guess we can both agree that we need to check our pudding for pieces of shit before we dive right in.
That’s not far left. “Everyone is equal” is left-wing, but adding “except the leaders” is right-wing. It’s not that the far left is like the right, but that those claiming to be far left and doing right wing stuff aren’t as far left as they say they are.
But when they say they’re left-wing, I’m sure you’ll trust the soviet leadership. Why would they have a reason to lie?
