Re: Leftist cartoonist gets his wakeup call
ER — (archived)

I'm sorry, Tom. That was not an explanation. That was a justification. I just do not agree with what you are saying.

I appreciate you trying to make clear that you don't automatically lump me in with the Bolsheviks, but our exchanges don't convey that message to me at all. The way you throw around the words liberal, leftist, socialist, and communist both interchangeably, and in reference to anyone you don't agree with, is often very offensive to me personally. Just think about how you feel when someone calls you a fascist. Just because you feel "fascist" and "communist" are interchangeable doesn't mean everyone else does; or anyone else, for that matter.

And remember how I define fascism: the dictatorship of the middle class, or if you don't mind my using the equivalent Marxist jargon, "dictatorship of the bourgeosie".
