nasty behavior is pointed out
This trivialises the discussion because there is no agreement on what is sexist, racist or otherwise nasty behaviour. For example a certain form of radical feminist thinks all heterosexual intercourse is rape. Plenty of people think affirmative action is racist.
Finally, and maybe most importantly, the communist tradition has murdered millions of people in the name of social justice. And older people who still remember the communists often can't help but see that eerie similarities ...
- gizmo 10y agoThe parallel you draw to communist purges is illogical. When you look at historical conflicts all parties think their actions are righteous, no matter where they fall on the political spectrum. Purges are justified (rationalized) by the need to solidify power for the greater good. In other words: it's about expedience. It doesn't matter whether the purges are committed by communists, fascists, or religious zealots.
- whybroke 10y agoSo pointing out unambiguously[1] bad behavior is wrong because communists murdered people. wow. [1] unambiguous = something you would not want done to your mother
