It's still entirely subjective. > "but it wasn't an ideology based on hate or subjugation" This is really stretching. I doubt may people who supported the Nazis early on would have thought their party was going to commit genocide. You don't see cognitive dissonance while you're in it. The Confederate Flag does represent Treason and many declarations of independence mention defense of slavery explicit in the first two paragraphs. However, if the Confederates has succeeded, there's a good chance they would have ended slavery anyway. There were a lot of moral concerns around slavery at that time. The Constitution and Declaration of Independence, at that time, did not directly mention the word "Slave," not to mention it started to fade internationally not long after. In that case, slavery could have been seen as just an artifact of a previous, ignorant group of their population, that also founded the country. And no mistake, between Iraq, the Iranian-Contras, the School of the Americas, MKUltra .. the Union/US has done terrible terrible things around the world to extract resources in the name of democracy. You can't say something is going to turn out while you're in the center. Looking at the current anarco-anti-cap left groups right out, some of their action are fascistic. Inhibiting the freedom of people to speak their minds and express their unpopular or controversial opinions is a dangerous path to go down, and many on the progressive-left are already showing contempt for the freedom of speech.
