If we were just more polite, less people would choose fascism
Wait, what? That's literally the opposite of what I'm saying. If you were more kind, and more patient with those of us who may have something to learn from you, your philosophy may flourish. But you're actively pushing people away.
It's almost as if you don't want your philosophy to flourish. You don't want new members coming into your group. It's almost as if YOU'RE the CIA plants, who are actively pushing people away from the left, instead of welcoming them and teaching them and bringing them under your wing.
Respect that people have differences of opinion and that every leftist has a place in our community. Discussing differences in theory is fine and encouraged, just don't make it personal. Remember: Sectarianism is liberalism.
That depends on their actions and how their philosophy is executed. One can call oneself anything they want, but it's their actions that define what they really are.

So according to you, am I a fascist or not? I'm confused on that point.
Your actions make me question your motivations.
I am a Marxist-Leninist. There they are. According to you, am I, or am I not, a fascist?

OK, but you're already pretty deep into liberalism. So, are Marxist-Leninists fascists?
That depends on their actions and how their philosophy is executed. One can call oneself anything they want, but it's their actions that define what they really are.
Marxism-Leninism is a philosophy first codified by Stalin, who you say was a fascist. Am I, an adherent of this philosophy, a fascist?
Possibly. That depends on how you view the actions of Stalin and his regime, I suppose.
I'm asking for your opinion, not my opinion. I follow Stalin's and Lenin's philosophy. Am. I. A. Fascist?
My dude, you're probably going to be banned for all the sectarianism regardless. Just give me your opinion.
I'm giving you my opinion.
I'm not the one being sectarian here. You guys are the ones attacking ME because I'm an anarchist who is expressing his opinion.
There are many Anarchists on here. They are fine, upstanding members of the community, and I respect them and their opinions. You are a liberal.
So, are they just smart enough to be quiet about their disagreement with how China is run?
There are disagreements, but they're certainly smart enough not to call them fascists.
Ok, so it's just a matter of terminology then?
What can I say except :wall-talk:
Sigh.
