You could just as easily say "the last time leftwing speeches about equality and social justice were permitted and tolerated in Russia the result has been The Cold War and the gulags". Neither side has a clean history and it is qu

>I don't believe being against hate is a "leftist" worldview This is the exact trap I was referring to. There are many political issues that are not as morally clear-cut as "people should not enslave other people&quot

I wonder if our respected peers on the Left will ever decide that their politics are the ones supported by "The System" and that they are perhaps not the rebels they thought they were? When Google and Facebook (among others) are e

>And blacks were clearly against apartheid and fighting fiercely for decades. Have you talked to many locals in China and found out they were against their regime? No, they were all killed decades ago. Why does it matter if it is black v
