  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

It is no wonder why you (and others) get confused about politics if you think this.
No confusion here. I've explained the policies many times on this forum, such as how critical race theory was derived from the Marxist critical theory. They can call themselves what they wish. Just like Joe, sometimes it was lunch pail Joe, sometimes Joe the trucker.

Now its 'Marxist Critical Theory'?

It sounds like biased opinion about something one knows little of.

Marxism: Class conflict theory.
Critical race theory: well, self descriptive.

So therefore CRT is derived from Marxism because they both have the term "conflict" in them even though they are totally different basis of conflict.

Do you mean to compare communism if left unchecked with nazism if left unchecked? Because I don't think we have either of those data points. Where did we see any of them left unchecked? To be clear I think them both disastrously bad.
Your comment accusing my intent was to "paint Hitler and the Nazi Party in a better light" was fruitless, nonsensical to the conversation, and a deliberate jab intended to goad a reaction from me. So do not backtrack and deflect.

Apparently my statement completely flew over your head. So let me break it down for you. I am not painting the Nazi Party in a better light, but showing the reality that communism, if left unchecked, ultimately is worse than the Nazi Party. Do you get it now, or do I need to break it down further? Otherwise, I will just assume you are goading some response from me.
The Nazis were bad but at least they weren’t Communists! ?
Odd stance.

More of an, "If you thought Nazis were bad, take a look at this communism thing over here." At least in Nazi Germany, people who fell into a certain racial/ethnic category were safe and lived happy lives. However, under communism, ironically a dictator posing to represent the people and maintaining that power through fear and violence, only the select elite class actually benefit from the suffering of all beneath them. Even then, after all means of self wealth generation is lost, they must then depend on other nations to keep them afloat.

Do you you have me confused with @Areyh Jay?

With that out of the way, do you have an answer to my question about unchecked nazism and communism?

Good God I hope not! That guy is a miserable and depressing person.
Oh, I don't know. I've always found him to be a charming and erudite companion, wont to introduce one to eminent celebrities, celebrated American singers, members of the aristocracy, and other gang leaders. Though, he is convinced he's being watched by a giant hedgehog named Spiny Norman.

-- A2SG, he's a gentleman, and what's more, he knows how to treat a female impersonator....

I will be eligible for being called from the reserves until I turn 65. Used to be 60, but it was raised starting this year as the general health is better so people tend to be able to do the things needed for service for longer.
Interesting. Is that for every service man or only certain MOS?
It’s a “good choice” for a lot of people, but me and the military would have “had issues”.
I “did my part” by keeping smart mouth from ruining an otherwise “good platoon”.

Thus, I am a patriot for not serving!
LOL. I have served with people with that attitude. They didn’t last. They have really special DD 214’s
It always has. What racists are not very right wing? Note I’m not saying every right winger is racist.
Let’s see:

The National Socialist Workers Party

In the US. There was this group who self identified as an arm of the Democratic Party. Perhaps you have heard of the Klu Klux Klan

Ku Klux Klan and the National Socialist Workers Party are distinct extremist organizations with different origins ands ideologies.

Sigh.
