Strasserites were kicked out the Nazi Party. More accurately, Strasserism should be defined as a tendency within modern neonazism. However, evil by any name, is still evil.

Evil is purely subjective.

Evil, from a Marxist perspective, is not subjective. Otherwise, there would be no point in fighting capitalism internationally. “Workers of the world unite.”

Moral relativism, which reached its zenith in the 1970s and 1980s, has been dying in academia for a long time.

It is not only Marxists, in academia, who reject moral relativism. Moral relativism, or situation ethics, is widely rejected, today, on both the left and the right of the academy.

You never asked me that question. Instead, you asserted that Stalin founded Marxism-Leninism.

Stalin was bad, IMO, because he was an authoritarian and a mass murderer.

Of course Stalin was authoritarian, so was every world leader. But a mass murderer?

And I responded to that question already. You want me to repeat what I said? I never made that claim. I was referring to Stalinists, not to all Marxist-Leninists.

De-Kulakisation cannot be considered a genocide, neither can the myth of the Holodomor.

If you look at it with you head tilted at an unnatural angle and squint it's sort of right.

It became very popular for Soviet-model supporters to put Marxist-Leninist in brackets after the name of their local Communist party mainly because they wanted to create a distance between Stalin and themselves. Basically, Stalin being such a bastard was one of the main reasons people were so keen to rope off Stalin as being a separate thing and market themselves as this distinct "Leninist" thing, even when the leadership of their particular party were often unrepentant tankies and barely better people.

So sure, he didn't "found" it, but the term wouldn't be so widely used without him so he has some level of responsibility for the vocabulary.

..this has real shades of the type of "oh what a twist" turbothonk conclusions I'd have tried to force into a paper back at uni, I'm a bit embarrassed.
