Subtle though it may be, one difference between the Left and reality is that they reverse the meaning of words.
You saw Orwell comment on that exact issue.
Take the current war cry of the Leftists...."Black Lives Matter"
The truth is that, for Leftists, whether they be Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, or simply run of the mill morons, no lives or life matters.
Their hallmark institution, Planned Slaughterhood, murders 40% of the black population.
We learned it early on: "We must rid ourselves once and for all of the Quaker-Papist babble about the sanctity of human life." Leon Trotsky
There is a straight line from that to this:
None of the totalitarian forms of political plague have the slightest concern for human life: not communism (gulags), not Nazism (concentration camps), not Liberalism (abortion), not Progressivism (eugenics), not socialism (theft), not fascism (murder).
They only differ in the final outcome: slavery, serfdom, or death.
Even earlier, at the model for the Russian Revolution, for Nazism, for Mao, for the Democrat Party, death was the coin of the realm.
"If the French revolution was the end of monarchy and aristocratic privilege and the emergence of the common man and democratic rights, it was also the beginnings of modern totalitarian government and large-scale executions of "enemies of the People" by impersonal government entities (Robespierre's "Committee of Public Safety"). This legacy would not reach its fullest bloom until the tragic arrival of the German Nazis and Soviet and Chinese communists of the 20th century.
In fact, Rousseau has been called the precursor of the modern pseudo-democrats such as Stalin and Hitler and the "people's democracies."French Revolution - Robespierre, and the Legacy of the Reign of Terror
Vote Democrat, and you vote for death.
So, what ideology did the East India Company follow?

Why?
You're considering voting for them?
Must be some painful truths in the OP as it brought these two, flotsam and jetsam, in to change the subject.
Not painful to me. I don't support any form of totalitarianism. Now how about you explain to us all how the East India Company was communist, oh great learned one of the copying and pasting?
I asked you a question.
Answer it.

Voting for who? The corporatists? I'm not
So you won't answer why you attempted to insert that abstruse and unrelated reference?
So I am correct as usual: you wanted to alter the point of the post.
And I didn't allow it.
Wanna try two out of three?
It is precisely on point. You are talking about the devaluation of human life. And I was as well.
You, however want to pretend that leftism is what causes the devaluation of life, when in fact, the causation works in the opposite direction. Leftism has always been a reaction to the devaluation of life that preceded it.
Take the Viet Cong for instance. They would have never existed had the rubber planters not enslaved people and worked them to death.
The French Revolution (no single ideology defined that, btw), was in response to the nobility hoarding the resources and leaving the common people to starve.
If you want to turn back Leftism, don't contribute to what leads to it. It is not that hard to understand!
"You, however want to pretend that leftism is what causes the devaluation of life, "
Pretend????
It is the lesson of history.
Either you are a liar, or ignorant.
Which is it?
Stalin....42,672,000
Mao.....37,828,000
Hitler....20,946,000
Lenin....4,017,000
Pol Pot...2,397,000
Tojo.....3,990,000
Total......111,850,000
I guess you stopped reading, even though I go out of my way to keep my comments brief. I'll keep it real short and direct this time:
*Leftism has always been a reaction to the devaluation of life that preceded it.*
So your defense is the old SODDI defense????'
Over 100 million men, women and children slaughtered by you Leftists, and all you can say is Some Other Dude Did It.
Of did it first
Weak......truly weak.
Me ten years ago: You need to reform policing. Abolish the police unions. Otherwise it will eventually boil over into a revolution. That's what history has always shown us will happen. Keep a lid on that sh~t
Right-wingers: Oh, you can abolish police unions but not the teachers, how dare you be a hypocrit. You just hate cops! There aren't enough people affected to start a revolution.
Me: The middle class is collapsing. In ten or fifteen years there will be a lot more people affected. If you don't do something soon, this country is gonna burn.
Righties: You're a loon! We have all the guns. We'll win the next civil war! Hoo-Rah!
So, don't f~cking come crying to me with this shit now. I told y'all.
