Somebody here is deliberately equating "terrorism" as used in the 19th century, that is, a reference to la Terreur, a period of intestine fight between the various factions of the French Revolution leading to summary executions granted by "special tribunals", and "terrorism" as used in the 20th and 21st centuries.
False equivalence.

They're certainly different concepts but are immoral for basically the same reason: they both involve murdering political opponents for their beliefs. Ultimately Marx's version is more evil, and has claimed far more lives, because he isn't proposing to kill a few to win control. He is proposing to slaughter his helpless enemies after he has already defeated them.

Absolutely immoral, fine. But you can't really say they're the same thing. Hence, there is no reason why the XIX-century definition of "terrorism" should pop up in a thread about a XXI-century act of terrorism, unless it's to use it to promote some logically fallacious argument.

On the other hand, the person you're responding to didn't claim they were. The comparison was between Socialism and National Socialism, not Marx's and modern views of terrorism. The sort of terrorism to which Marx is referring is more similar to the practices of the National Socialists than the modern form. I guess one could argue that you made an off-topic reply to an off-topic post.

Though elements of the French Revolution continued to be fought for one reason or another until 1799, la Terreur ran for a year, starting about when the monarchy had already fallen. King Louis XVI was actually a relatively late killing for the Reign of Terror, only executed in January 1793.

Wait what? Since when joe arpaio a racist? I mean, I know he has been criticized for the way he runs his jail, but I wasn't aware of a racial component to that. If you mean his tough on illegal immigration, well that's not racist. Nothing wrong with not wanting illegal immigrants flooding the country. As long as he isn't also deliberately harassing legal immigrants without cause, then I fail to see how he's a racist.

The point was that even I get dismayed at the excuses made. Is there anything that is not the Jews' fault to neo-Nazis and certain others within the White power movement? This was a clear cut hate crime, but in all honesty- it is rare for any non-White suspects to ever be charged with hate crimes if they do something similar. It is easier for a Black panther or La Raza member for example, to avoid the extra time associated with crimes that have racism motivations. The two Black panthers that guarded that voting booth and turned some people away, got off scott free because Eric Holder had other priorities.

After Rachel Dolezal, this can no longer be dismissed as a joke.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.

I don't think the feds let him arrest people for illegal immigration any more, so he might have had to diversify the population of his prison camps.

It's not pretty.
Arpaio set up a "Tent City" in 1993 as an extension of the Maricopa County Jail for convicted and sentenced prisoners. Arpaio has described Tent City as a concentration camp. Tent City is located in a yard next to a more permanent structure containing toilets, showers, and an area for meals.
On July 2, 2011, when the temperature in Phoenix hit 118 °F (48 °C), Arpaio measured the temperature inside Tent City at 145 °F (63 °C). Some inmates complained that fans near their beds were not working, and that their shoes were melting from the heat. During the summer of 2003, when outside temperatures exceeded 110 °F (43 °C), Arpaio said to complaining inmates, "It's 120 degrees in Iraq and the soldiers are living in tents, have to wear full body armor, and they didn't commit any crimes, so shut your mouths."
In 1997, Amnesty International published a report on Arpaio's jails which found that Tent City is not an "adequate or humane alternative to housing inmates in suitable ... jail facilities." Tent City is criticized by groups contending that there are violations of human and constitutional rights.
In 2005, Pearl Wilson whose son was murdered in Tent City, wrote a letter to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors asking for Tent City to be torn down.
Arpaio stated that he reserves the punishment of living in tent city "for those who have been convicted". However, most of the population consists of pre-trial inmates.

You can compare two hateful, racist people even if the crimes of one are severely out of proportion with the other. For example, Dylann Roof is quite like ISIS, although he only murdered 9 and ISIS has killed thousands.

One doesn't have to actually commit genocide to be cut from the same cloth as those who did.
