You're posting this in a thread about an article where a bunch of "left" politicians are trying to pass sweeping surveillance legislation. Yet you expect people to take their proclamations that they just want "functional healthcare" at face value?

This doublethink is so weird.

I have yet to see a single communist that can discuss like a rational human being. They have no problem with contradiction, non-sense, things that plainly do not work, things that are false, things that are false sometimes (when they need them to be) but are otherwise true.

Not once, not in any debates, online, or in real life. It's truly a virus of the psyche. It is remarkable.

> bunch of "left" politicians are trying to pass sweeping surveillance legislation

The original article is that we don't know who's trying to pass the surveillance legislation, because it's all anonymous!

This sort of thing is much easier to discuss when you can say "person X from party Y made proposal Z" rather than just chucking allgations around.

These measures have been pushed by the left any times before, so we know which group this is coming from but not the exact individuals.
