[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, this is a serious question OP? 
Bro, you mad about Nazi symbols not being "accepted"?

Please just go back to Parler.[/quote]

No, Nazi symbols should not be accepted - but neither should Communist paraphernalia, because Communism led to genocides and mass murder. And Che Guevara was a terrorist. Why has nobody in Montgomery County called to complain and remove the Che Guevara graffiti from Silver Spring? This is extremely offensive to Cuban Americans and victims of Communism.

Communism is a philosophy that has some produced some good and some evil.  Same with religion.  Democracy.  Capitalism.

Naziism is connected to a certain (mass-murdering) time in history.

They are different from one another in category.[/quote]

I disagree.  Communism and fascism are both political philosophies which have produced outcomes inferior to freedom.  Both have resulted in mass slavery and mass murder, where communism actually has a worse record than fascism.  Not all fascist regimes resulted in identical outcomes (Italy and Spain were less murderous than Germany for example), and not all communist regimes were equally brutal either - but in the end slavery is the logical endpoint of all totalitarian political systems whether communist or fascist - it is merely a question of how long any individual incarnation takes to arrive at the endpoint.  And murder is a necessary colleague of slavery - both initially of all those unwilling to submit to slavery and then subsequently "pour encourager les autres".

Hitler was no better or worse than Stalin or Mao or Pol Pot - and all should be reviled equally.

It's also worth noting that the USA did not escape these ideologies and implemented a sort of fascism-lite over the early part of the twentieth century - FDR especially seemed inclined in this direction.  Culturally the US proved more resistant, and for much longer, to the bad ideas but we have arguably reached full blown fascism today and we may well be getting close to the mass murder stage.  I hope I am wrong about this.[/quote]

I really like your historical analysis that calls communism and fascism resulting in "mass slavery" and then think that the U.S. avoided this....[/quote]

Did you read what I wrote?  I don't think the US avoided this, merely that the process took longer here.  We are most certainly there now.[/quote]

You dolt. I'm talking about the time that say, half the population of North Carolina was in chains. But now that we are free, you see slavery.[/quote]
