What do you mean? They're both totalitarian ideologies and have much in common.

So you agree with white supremacy because there are similarities between a specific group of communists and specific group of socialists. Fascinating.
"So you agree with white supremacy..."

You've got to be kidding me.

Point out exactly where in my comment I agreed with white supremacy.

I disagreed with literally one point in your comment and that means I suport white supremacy? Fascinating.

Looks like you're only reading what your emotions want you to read and not what people are actually writing.

No, I'm making a point about white supremacy and you're being pedantic about something tangentially related. It doesn't fucking matter how similar socialism is to communism when white supremacy is the outcome.

The Titanic is sinking and you're arguing with me about the difference between row boats and sail boats.

You literally accused me of supporting white supremacy because I disagreed with a point you made. That shouldn't be taken lightly.

At the very least you should take responsibility for your own behavior and apologize.

My sole point in this entire thread is that white supremacy is bad regardless of source.

I merely used an extreme example to show you that you were missing the forest for the trees, and you still are. I'm sorry that you're having this problem.

> Yes.

I'm sure white supremacists are concerned about employment, the decline of the American manufacturing sector, and the cost of health insurance. In fact, I'm pretty sure these concerns contribute to their desire to join others who say they have the solution.

Now, I'm not generally one to nickel-and-dime the deathtolls of genocidal ideologies, but I don't think you could credibly argue that in the 20th century National Socialism was more deadly than Communism. At least you'd have to concede that they are in "the same universe", or "the same galaxy".

Don't use hyperbole, else all of your blood will drain instantly from your eyes.
