Again, I’m not endangering anyone. If you can’t talk about this without making false claims an accusations, then we’re done here.
A distinction without a difference. Whether explicitly bourgeois parties or not, the Nazis and SPD were both vehemently opposed to the ideology of the KPD, and those two parties received a majority of the votes in the 1932 election.
Yes, and that’s why Hindenburg won and appointed Hitler.
And do, still. By the millions, in every election. Or, at least, if not explicitly bourgeois parties, parties that are based on some form is liberal ideology, not necessarily in opposition to bourgeois interests, and that often are aggressively opposed to Marxism-Leninism.
Yes, which is unfortunate and concerning, especially as the bourgeoisie tend to ally with the far-right to stop the left, which brought Hitler to power which is happening now with the CDU and the AfD, as pointed out in the article linked at the start of the conversation.

Well, I disagree. Lesser-evilist ideology that calls for sacrificing the Palestinians today will call for sacrificing trans people tomorrow, and like you say, other LGBT people next. To accept it is to accept that I will be put on the chopping block and no one will care or do anything to stop it, and it’s just a matter of time. Enforcing a red line is the only possible way to ensure long-term security. If you say it won’t work, then I may die trying, but I’d rather do that than resign myself to death the other way and be complicit in my own demise. That’s all there is to it. I understand the situation and I’ve made my decision and I’m not going to change it, unless they come to the table.
Right, I mean, the whole idea of someone who just blindly agrees with anything that has ever done by anyone waving a red flag is kind of silly. If the USSR didn’t have flaws, then it wouldn’t have collapsed. People would rather just pretend communists are all like that because they don’t want to engage with what we actually believe, which is generally more nuanced.
How are you acting like you were right after admitting you were wrong? Quite an interesting rhetorical trick.
Motte and Bailey doesn’t give you license to put words into my mouth.
Thank you for admitting it was just about trying to make another side look bad and that you had no interest in what I actually believed. That’s the first honest thing you’ve said this conversation.
That’s not a reasonable standard for what constitutes “assistance.” If I see a bank robbery happening and do nothing to stop it, does that mean I assisted the robbery? Am I assisting every single thing happening in the world right now?
If you mean “not impeding” then say “not impeding.” Calling that assistence is false and disingenuous.
Are you still pretending like you were acting in good faith? Lmao. First you jumped down my throat with baseless accusations, then you demanded that I criticize Russia, then when I did, you sensed blood in the water and came after me even harder.
You know for a fact at this point that your accusations were false, you don’t care. Because it was never about saying things that you actually believe, it was about going on the offensive and saying anything to make me look bad.
Americans are near universally convinced that third-parties are a dead end, which becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. I’ve never understood it and I would’ve thought having two obviously non-viable candidates would challenge that assumption, but it doesn’t seem like anything will. The classic Simpsons bit where both candidates get replaced by evil space aliens but still get elected because “what are you going to do, vote third party?” was not an exaggeration in the slightest. Americans just accept anything.
