Wow! A few sentences later I link to a leftist accusing a Maoist leftist for being reactionary and discriminatory. I even mention the fact that Maoists and National Bolsheviks (which are very much racists while leftists) exist in the very first sentence of the paragraph.
However, these are not the norm. They are a very small minority and most leftist groups will not tolerate them.
- flyingfences 6y agoI don't care what "a leftist" has accused another leftist of... I'm taking issue with the fact that you are saying that "discrimination against white people" is not "racial discrimination" with the implication that it's somehow better.
- runarberg 6y agoWhat!? I say that? Are you pointing to the fact that I refer to sibling comments in how the equivalence is wrong? And that is somehow me implying that “discrimination against white people somehow better”? Please, get over your self.
- flyingfences 6y ago> the equivalence is wrong That is saying that racism against whites is somehow different from other racism, with the implication that it is not as bad.
- runarberg 6y agoThe equivalence is wrong because generally people on the far left are not racists towards any race.
- dang 6y agoPlease stop using HN for ideological battle. It's not what this site is for, and when a flamewar degenerates into a tedious, petty spat like this, the thread stopped being interesting a long time ago.
