A great moral stain on the left. Never again. Any revolution that doesn't recognise the sanctity of glasses-moe must be resisted.

Both are wrong, imo. But it depends which qualifier you use. "Libertarians turn into Nazis" and "Libertarian Socialists turn into MLs" are both technically correct statements, but they're very muddled ones with no qualifiers. "All libertarians turn into Nazis" and "All Libertarian Socialists turn into MLs" on the other hand is demonstrably wrong. The qualifiers "a lot of" is also very nebulous and hard to prove or disprove. Which makes this general pipeline idea an unhelpful one to pursue, and I think we should judge ideologies by what they are, not what they have an alleged tendency to turn into.

It's an awful idea which would result in the breakdown of families because people are paired together who are not at all attracted to each other. I'm pretty sure that this would be a major violation of Christian beliefs on marriage too, considering that the husband and wife are supposed to become one flesh, which is kind of hard to do when you're being forced to marry blindly.


That's not backed up by studies and the Christian angle ignores that the idea marriages are based on one of "Love" is a modernist invention.

This is crazy, dangerous talk. We'd have to debate people on what their currently stated beliefs are not our fantasies of what they secretly believe/might believe in future. It would be chaos.

Is love a modernist invention?
Is marriage a modernist invention?
Were marriage and love completely separate concepts before modernism?

As I understand it the answer to all three of these questions is a resounding "no." Even if marriage for love was a modernist invention, that would just make it a pretty damn good modernist invention.

The contemporary conception of love and marriage very much are modernist inventions. And yes, before present times, marriage and love very much were different concepts.

No, as the name in of itself should imply; Socialism is international in character while National Syndicalism, as the name should suggest, doesn't and is specifically geared towards the preservation of the nation-state. In economic terms, likewise, National Syndicalism does not remove the market like Socialism. The 26 Point Program of the Spanish Falange is an excellent resource I'd recommend reading.

This is literally the state mandating sinful relationships.

You've absorbed unscriptural Catholic teachings about marriage and combined them with a brazen totalitarianism to produce something more resembling IngSoc than anything authentically Christian.

Because Socialism is a threat to the nation-state, both through its internationalism and the class conflict it supports. I also, it should be clear, have no love for the First Amendment.

I can't find Benuty's post. If you're referring to divorce rates, the high divorce rates we have are a result of it being very easy to initiate a divorce, not due to marriage for love being a popular idea.

Is internationalism and class conflict reason enough to send the military on it?

What's wrong with the first amendment? Without it, any ideas at odds with the establishment including yours would likely not be tolerated.

Yes.

Because it allows ideas the opposite of mine to exist and thus undermine the nation and its institutions.

The two are intertwined and that should be obvious; when you marry solely based on a feeling, what is inevitable when said feelings recline as they inevitably do? This is why marriage until contemporary times was emphasized as an institution, not just as an expression of two individuals having feelings at that moment.
