Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Now you're being hyperbolic. You seem to be saying that we shouldn't point out Left victories of the past [the New Deal etc.] simply because they happened in the past.

Nostalgia is a human trait, and like any other it can be manipulated.

I already said I know it sounds hyperbolic, I am saying broadly, we need to take better care with how we talk about things in the past.

Lots of people saying "I want to have the system we had in the past" has a very different material outcome in our world than lots of people saying "It was better in the past."
