    Yup and then the same supreme court made slavery illegal. Shit changed. The US's definition of freedom of speech hasn't. Even if *you* don't like it, that doesn't mean shit because the highest courts in the US say that hate speech is protected. End of story on that one.
    Same shit, different day.

    In which case it wasn't communism.

    You don't get to make up new definitions of words because the English language disagrees with your popular mythology.

    Why is it not OK for you do do it? Is there a law against it? Or, are you just upset that someone's words hurt your sensibilities?

    I get it, you want to feel like a victim.

    They were terrible guys, I'm not trying to argue they are not. You were the one who was trying to be a Holocaust apologist.

    What part of neo-Nazism do you support?

    Hitler was still a terrible guy, and millions died from his genocide.

    Congress made slavery illegal, not the Supreme Court.

    And, fun fact, the US' definition of 'free speech' has changed significantly over two and a half centuries.

    I certainly do not agree with that statement. And the point was that both nazism and communism stands out, as being particularly murderous.

    Having 1/4th of the worldwide prison population helps or the highest crime rate among western countries, that is also fun.

    Manifest Destiny was pounded into our heads. Along with other bullshit like "Be whatever you want" and "The people in government are there to help the citizenry".

    And then there's a heaping dose of sad losers that haven't experienced any form of hardship to the point where they will sell their collective souls for the chance to get at whatever FotM other needs attacking.

    FFS, they've made it so standing up for yourself is seen as a pussy move.

    I don't really mind calling them non-communist nations, as long as we then declare that communism does not exist outside of theory, and never can large scale. Whoever thinks it can, has to abide by the fact that the Soviet Union and Maoist China are indeed quite good examples of communism in practice. In my opinion, there is little point in coming up with a political definition that doesn't really have any implementation what-so-ever...

    Proud of being white is one of the greatest sins to the left. The reason the left is so quick to label opponents Nazi, fascists, racist is because to them that is the greatest of all insult. The irony of course, is that they hate white people so much that they have become what they despise. The self loathing of the left has become a tragicomedy.

    Nobody is disputing that communism is unfeasible beyond village level populations, except maybe the alt-righters on this thread.

    Cool and again take the time to read the article. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...rst-amendment/

    June of 2017. Hate speech is protected. The. End. Either all speech is free or none of it is. That is what is used as the basis in the court of law and that's how it will be handled in the US.

    Which is why the left wing is typically the ones in favor of funding the arts, you know, the chief means of cultural expression and point of pride for white people?

    They are particularly violent. I don't see any forms of government that are not very capable of such deeds.

    So, does that mean you oppose pushing strict limits on immigration, as this administration is trying to do?
