Does the left want to create another workers' paradise like the People's Temple had at Jonestown?

Question

With supression of free thought and guns and threats and all that neat stuff that comes with it?

I dig you global... the left stands for free thought unless you challenge the orthodoxy on global warming. Get a clue.

fan, Jones was an avowed socialist. Take 30 seconds to research before making an idiot of yourself.

Answer 1

Yes, that' exactly what they want.

We should all do all that we can to see that they don't get
what they want. People' Temple was a catastrophe and we
don't need another. They want more than to suppress our thoughts they want us to tow the line as they see fit.

Have a pleasant day.

Answer 2

Any poster here who says PT was fundi Xtian is AN IDIOT of the first degree!

Anyone who says those people blindly followed Jones is an *** of astronomical proportion.

You say do your research before answering? JTown was a place for this one group to escape to.....from racism, sexism, agism, etc..........
For many in JTown, the happiest days were spent WITHOUT Jones there.........
Not exactly a workers paradise, but more of a communal experience that was supposed to something better than what they had back home

Answer 3

Jonestown was a product of the rapture rights. They had guns and used them to control the members and force them into suicide if they didn't cooperate voluntarily. The suppression of free thought is the religious right at it's finest condemning any progressive practice and preaching the hellfire and brimstone bull that's subjected the world to tyrannical superstition for centuries. I'm afraid you've got things turned around. Suppression of free thought is a right wing conservative agenda.

Answer 4

Only when they run out of food
and get really really
desperate.

China.

Russia.

Even the leftists will come up with some really strange "freedoms" to spread by force when poor planning leaves millions to begin starving.

Answer 5

Would you be able to continue to deny people their freedom while you prosper .
The freedom to receive a wage that allows them to provide for their families .
I like gun ownership and think that current laws limit the ability to purchase advanced weapons for defensive purposes . We have many types of ammo that can not be purchased .
Suppose a terrorist enters my home with a bullet proof vest on . We have developed ammunition that can rip through these vests with ease and yet I am prevented from having it legally .
Do we want to continue to make criminals of our own people by the continued passage of laws that limit what we can and can not purchase to defend our families .

Answer 6

Oh yes, and the Left will hire Bush and Cheney to make sure that it does happen. Those two already prove that they have the credentials by stealing $120 billions/yr from tax payers

Answer 7

Sounds like a John Birch Society rant from the cold war days. Workers paradise? What was created down there was anti-liberal by any measure, and shows, when people are inspired by a religious leader whose lust for power exceeds his learning and capacity for love, it ends in catastrophe.

Answer 8

Suppression of free thought. First you must have the ability to think!

I think you have the wrong people. It is Bush and your ilk the espouse those views. "America, love it or leave it", "You are either for the war or you are against the troops" and many more!

And where does Jones town come from? That is irrational and illogical! Please try and do better!

Answer 9

Your question is an insult to your avatar. But to answer your "profound" question: Absolutley not since Jonestown was a cult.
Now I am wondering if you are being sarcastic because what the left does stand for is free thought as it always has.

Answer 10

Yes they do
