Fascism is to be fought[Bailouts, TARP].
I have little regard if the guy is ‘left’, it matters not, and even less respect for supporters of Gov’t bailouts and socialism.
Thank you for your honesty. It's indeed a tactic pursued by many in the past --- aligning themeselves with fascists and communists (who cares if they are a little left?) as long as that is tactically expedient.
I have aversion to this position on moral grounds. Sorry.
