Are you going to start banning groups on the possibility that they may take over the government and institute an negative extremist platform?

Do I need to explain to you the flaws and implications inherent in that thinking...


Do I need to give you an in-depth explanation of what Nazism, the Holocaust, and World War Two were and why, as a result of that, Nazism is a very bad thing?

I don't think this discussion is going anywhere.

I didn't put words in your mouth. I only connected the dots. If killing me by refusing to save my life in this instance doesn't constitute violating my right to life, then owning property somehow means property owners get special privilege among natural rights.

So, essentially, you did put words into his mouth.
Most of the time I have no idea what the hell I'm doing or talking about.

A thread about AntifFa has deteriorated into an argument over whether or not supposed fascists have the right to free speech. :clap:
Is that irony or coincidence? Seriously, I'm asking.

You're using loaded language.
I think we're done here.

I mean, you could at least pretend as though you have a rebuttal.

Show me evidence? Specifically the bit of evidence where Socialism says, "yeah the only way to eliminate the Bourgeois class is by literally fucking killing every last one of them?"

No. If I had said, "So basically, you're claiming X," then yes, I would be putting words into his mouth. I didn't make the claim that he said or claimed what I concluded. I reached my own conclusion from his argument.

Well then, I suppose we should in turn also ban socialism yes?

Seeing as how socialist regimes acrossed the world led to even more deaths than the holocaust and WW2, and they held back millions of peoples standard of living for years. Lets not forget all those extremists who have killed thousands of people acrossed the world ( the weathermen, ELN, FARC, Red Army Faction, etc. )

I suppose we should also ban Islam too, seeing as how that religion just has a tendency to breed militants.

As I recall the Crusades were a Christian thing, and although they are peaceful now... I mean who knows? Ban them.

Communism, or at least those who espouse it, have killed millions of people, so why would they have a voice while the fascists dont?

Probably in the same way that Americans would have a voice despite their government killing millions of people.

1. Pol Pot was an overly-authoritarian asshole and I recognize that.
2. The Gulags weren't camps where people were sent to be exterminated; they were labor camps where people died because of food and winter clothing shortages.
3. Mao never schemed to exterminate a hundred million of his own people who were ethnically related to him - that was a result of shitty, SHITTY policy.
4. The Purges of Stalin's regime were shitty, but they weren't genocide.

It just seems that you where claiming that was what he believes by claiming that. Although, I guess one would be just as valid to say I do the same.
