Bigotry doesn't have a political party, a race, a gender, a religion, or a national origin. Bigotry only has ignorance and those willing to perpetuate it.
Just my thoughts as a liberal conservative, or maybe a conservative liberal who has never met a human being that I did hate.

Ultimately the left is all about power - state power.
The "right" is about state power as well.
politics = power and both ends of the spectrum strive for it and that is why both ends of the spectrum are fundamentally dangerous.
Right now, it is the right who is most supportive of freedom, hence most libertarians find themselves closer to the right than the left. Thirty years ago the opposite was true.
The best solution to all of these problems is for everyone to vote and never vote for an incumbant, ever. I have never voted for an incumbant. Not for any office and never will.

Well I know left wingers on three continents and have no idea of any anti- Jewish sentiments so I would challenge your premise as false. The left tries to be non - elitisit so does not like to feel that it has any bigotries.

Sorry I am not sure what you are getting at.
Well the Jews that I know in the left are strongly anti Israel.
The black people that I know in the left hate white supremacy as much as they hate black nationalists. Bigotry and any form of “ism” is totally against the sentiment of Marx, Lenin and Trotsky.
Simply put bigotry divides the working class sadly this is a noble sentiment that is not necessarily realised by those who have adopted the only the title of “Socialist”.
