lmao, you can study the left wing ideology as a psychological condition also nathan.
I didn't say it was accurate.

I just say all right wingers are child molestors.

Seems like highly biased information

The Journal of Social Psychology, 2004, 144(4), 421–447
Highly Dominating,
Highly Authoritarian Personalities

Furthermore, they seem to combine the worst elements of each kind of personality, being power-hungry, unsupportive of equality, manipulative, and amoral, as social dominators are in general, while also being religiously ethnocentric and dogmatic, as right-wing authoritarians tend to be. The author suggested that, although they are small in number, such persons can have considerable impact on society because they are wellpositioned to become the leaders of prejudiced right-wing political movements.
I doubt everyone would classify these as the worst elements of society, therefore this smacks of Propaganda
What is a Syndrome?
Syndrome is a name for a group of symptoms that happen together. A group of symptoms may collectively indicate a particular condition.

If you experience several or more of the symptoms associated with mitral valve prolapse, you may have the Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome. (reference)
So this shows that the left also have a symptom as they are a group with common ideals

i find it absurd that a strong left-wing support like yourself, i assume, hyperlinks CPA Australia in your signature.

Aren't accountants the fundamental work unit of a capitalist right-wing society?

That wasn't funny, Frigid.

Edit: If you didn't bother to check the link, it actually leads to the Communist Party of Australia's website (something that makes sense, don't you think?).

HAHAHAHAHAHA, lol, that just made my day!!! how very amusing!!! but come on...i think extremes on either side are pretty damn scary. anne coulter is probably certifiable, yes, but i'll say michael moore's mania scares me just as much. mao and stalin, for example, are probably crazy leftists.

(this perspective from a right winged authoritarian...who has never molested a child..)

Anne Coulter is just trash. You can have respect for people of opposite politics but this lady is just trash.

People like her are the reason why Fascism can rise in a country.

I think an inclination towards authoritarianism in general could be widely regarded as a psychological defect. Whether its rightist or leftist authoritarianism is irrelevant.

It depends.

If someone is a good student of their economics, they are knowledgable in its philosophy base.

For instance Marxism-Leninism is a heavy topic. Now there may be for some who are attracted to the philosophy by a common pyscological patern. Not all though, as people like workers who may come to it through necessity as most workes do through class conscious. That is they fight for wages, and when things don't go their way the get fed up with the system and look for other alternatives.

Its not actually known why Lenin or other middle class like him are drawn to Communism. So these type of people may have a the same pyscoligical patern. But once you start to learn about Marxism you learn different logic partens. So if you have a authoritarian marxist, this may not be the case of a pyscoligical 'defect'. As with Marxism you try to move away from any emotional or biased attachment.
