    “Centrists to fascists aren’t centrists”

    “You just label anyone as Fascist”

    “There’s a huge amount of fascists right now”

    “Irrelevant!”

    … what? I’m sorry, I can’t tell if you’re making a point or if you’re just reacting to comments as they come in. Cause that response made no sense in the greater context. I can’t even tell what point you’re trying to make at this point.

      Then let me spell it out for you.

      We, as leftists, tend to ignore authoritarians that attach themselves to our movement. I’m talking Marxists, Maoists, etc. These are people who aplogize for mass murderers. When they show up to rallies, they are welcomed. Democrat leaders cozy up to them. I see it happen regularly.

      We then turn around and accuse the right of courting facism. This is the right thing to do, but we also need to take a look in our own camp. I don’t want authoritarians of any flavor.

        According to this comment, YOU should be downvoting yourself for your previous two comments.

        You straight out suggested we should be diplomatic with the Far Right.

        Oh. Now I see why you are downvoted to Putin’s bunker.

          Is that the reason? It seems more like they’re being aggressive and not explaining their positions is the reason they’re downvoted.
