Knowing your family's history, it makes sense why you follow the ideology you do.

And knowing mine, it would make sense why I follow mine. (I had family separated from my mother's side of my family for around twenty years because of the Berlin Wall. I have several stories of it.)

I'm quite aware not all socialists are bad people (in fact, I do still have some leftist friends), and I hope you recognize that not all monarchists are colonialists, and vice versa. (Interesting note, Otto von Bismarck originally never wanted to build an empire)

And yes, I do understand the horrors of my ideology and rightism as a whole. I recognize them fully and will say that the West has indeed done things as bad as the East has, and vice versa.

I hold a viewpoint of accepting what one's political ideology has done negatively just as important as what it has done positively.

I daresay it comes down more to the leaders than ideology at play, what say you?

(While I am anti-leftist, and probably one of the most such on the wiki due to historical reasons, I am not die-hard "kill every leftist on sight." If you respect my viewpoint, I'll respect yours.)
