There's also this but I'm pretty sure fervent communists deny that it ever actually happened

the great famine was kept largely under wraps for years. indeed, if you had actually read the article you posted, you'd see that even international journalists denied that it happened for years. it happened, and there was at least an element of malignant neglect if not outright planning by stalin's regime, but it was not a major reason for why the SA was busting leftist skulls in the early 30's. you're full of poo poo.

also ernst roehm was insanely bigoted and a fake leftist, so it's unsurprising that you're trying to rehabilitate him.

The Saurus, is that quote something you found, or did someone else find it for you? Answer honestly.

Also, what meaningful change do you hope to achieve through 'killing the ruling class'? Who is 'the ruling class'? Marx and Marxists talk about overthrowing the bourgeoisie, but only in so far as they own the means of production, and act in their self-interest to maintain their power. The people themselves are irrelevant to a large extent, and violence is deployed instrumentally, to achieve that objective. Killing them isn't the point.

You, on the other hand, are sounding rather more unhinged. As much as 'fascism' is overused as a scare-word, it is a word with a real meaning, used to describe a real political system, with real differences and conflicts with both socialism and liberalism, that cannot be reconciled. There cannot be a 'left-wing fascism', because the goals of fascism fundamentally contradict the legacy of human brotherhood, that form the foundation of leftism.

I am explaining this all to you, even though I shouldn't really have to, because I have a strong suspicion that you are bit of an idiot, more than simply malicious, and in a difficult place in your life right now, more then simply gullible.

Every single attempt to build any kind of equal or socialist society has faced an incredible amount of resistance from capitalists and the ruling class both nationally and globally. Do I really need to provide a laundry list of leftists overthrown in anti-democratic actions supported by the owners of the means of production?

I don't think it's possible to break the bourgeoisie's hold on our society without the use of violence directed against them, and it needs to be done as soon as the leftists acquire any kind of power or capacity for violence as a preemptive strike, otherwise you're simply giving them the time and space to prepare their own counterrevolution.

Also Government Regulation and Control isn't automatically a good thing just because it's the Government. Not when the government is wholly controlled by the capitalist class and has zero interest in representing workers.

In that case, limiting the power of government is a good thing, such as the trillions of dollars in handouts and subsidies that go directly to the richest Americans after plundering wealth in taxes from the working class.

The working class looking to the bourgeois government to represent them instead of creating their own power structures is a fatal mistake. The Soviets didn't all disband and decide to vote for the provisional government once every few years, they seized power through real representative workers democracy, controlled and organized by the workers themselves.

There isn't much of a common thread here, and some of it is really unprompted.

More than anything else, I think you need to step back a bit, and see yourself the way others are seeing you. Personally, what I am seeing, is someone digging themselves into a deeper hole.

Actually they were bad, because they were still racists. I mean they would have considered me an untermenschen for having Jewish ancestry (as opposed to the myriad of far more legitimate reasons to consider me an untermenschen)

However, if you could pair the left-wingers views on social equality, worker control and redistribution of wealth with the multi-ethnic fascism of Paul Verhoevens "Starship Troopers" I think you'd have a pretty good mix.

e: I still feel kind of bad for Rohm though, just as I'd feel bad for anyone who was betrayed and murdered by their long-term gay lover.

I came across it when I was reading about the working class character of the SA. I guess people like Trump and the UKIPs have been combining a nominally populist platform with anti-working class/pro capitalist policies for a long time to gain the support of workers and then betraying them at the first opportunity.

I come from somewhere where "Liberal" isn't the most left-wing thing you can be, so please don't think that I'm enjoying the tears of the left-wing half of the American populace when I talk about being motivated by spite. People do become spiteful, hateful and angry the longer they're denied a life they think they deserve though - Those rage massacres haven't been happening for the past decade for no reason.

Limiting government is a good thing when the government almost totally serves the interests of the capitalist class, by maintaining a massive military-industrial complex, by allowing the richest to avoid taxes while raising funds from the workers and by giving massive subsidies that actually circumvent one of the few times the free market would help the average american (Such as the Sugar Program).

The government has to be pressured and controlled by workers before it can be used as a force for good, simply being a supporter of Big Government with no proviso is very silly. I mean compared to welfare the US Government spends FAR more on its subsidies and tax breaks for corporations and military contractors. Why isn't it a good thing to limit that?

quote:

More than anything else, I think you need to step back a bit, and see yourself the way others are seeing you. Personally, what I am seeing, is someone digging themselves into a deeper hole.

I don't think I need to worry about that anymore, everyone already despises me, it's not like my reputation around here can get any worse. If I'm digging a hole I'm already at the bedrock.

Plus it's important to remember that the flesh will rot from our bones within a few decades and no one will ever remember who we were or are, not in real life and certainly not on this dead gay forum.
