my point is: if he disliked communism, but flirted with fascism, perhaps he was never really talking about international communism at all but only ever conceived of the notion of a nationally limited socialism. or nazism if you like, but needless contractions of words wont get you anywhere closer to understanding what i am talking about if all you can think about is “gotcha”
I don’t know what you know without you communicating it to me.

That’s a perfectly clear statement that I would have had no trouble following the first time.
or nazism if you like,
No, those aren’t the same, so now I’m lost again
but needless contractions of words wont get you anywhere closer to understanding what i am talking about if all you can think about is “gotcha”
It’s not a needless contraction if you’re trying to talk about two different ideologies under one name- it helps to distinguish two very different ideologies. It’s not a gotcha to ask for clarification. You’re taking an attempt to understand as an attack.
to you, a nationally limited socialism is not equal to nazism, to me the distinction is negligible.
if you think we (as in all humans) are not the same, then we truly are not.
read the thread with a sober mind and point to one person other than wpb that didnt call me names or made an effort to project their opinions on my comments but rather asked what i was talking about. all in all i am left with the impression that this community seems to prefer calling names over having civilized discussions
i kept giving you the benefit of the doubt, but watching you cheer with your peers over how “this person seemingly doesnt know the difference between such distinctive ideologies” … yeah no, i dont think i want to talk to you (plural) anymore. you (singular), kept it relatively civil, so i wish you (+wpb) a nice day.
and a whole day of 100% packet loss for the rest :3
and what makes you think i dont know that?
