Why is the nationalist right hallucinating a ‘communist enemy’?

[Hypatia_Alexandria]

Then why were you tossing it around as if it was an insult...It obviously had no relevance to their beliefs about communism.

Why did you consider it to be an "insult"? Or is that a unconscious reaction on your part?

[Hypatia_Alexandria]

Seems that our dear fraulein who has issues with other people using clear definitions doesn't bother to do so herself.

Gondwanaland seems to think there is another "compatriot" of mine posting to these boards. I am mystified as to who, precisely, he has in mind.

You mean BLM leadership doesn't hold to Marxist ideals or have Communist connections?

In what regard? In your opinion which major communist government do you consider is funding/training/educating BLM?

Read the link, along with the fact that the founders of BLM are self-proclaimed Marxists.

And? The USA has a Communist Party - https://www.cpusa.org/

Indeed, but there is nothing quite like a group who takes advantage of a weakened nation to start burning down cities and compelling people to repent from the sin that that the communist group says the whites are guilty of.

Communism does not have to be pushed by a separate nation to make it a threat in America. But, perhaps, there are international influences. It makes no difference since the threat is to destabilize the nation in order to take it over with a Communist dictator or a pro-Communist tyranny.

I didn't see much of the original post. However, the end showed how foolish it was. The writer assumes that "right-wingers" would incite violence based on a false pretext of fighting Communists. In reality, we don't see violence from whoever these right-wingers might be. We see violence by BLM and Antifa. The latter group seem to be Communist by the very declaration of their supposed enemy -- the facists. This just sounds like a replay of the original Socialist divisions -- between the Russian Communists/Socialists and the German socialists. Both were cut from the same cloth.

So what is your big concern about defending against anything negative being said about violent Communists/Socialists? It is so odd that anyone would be so accepting of the content of this article. Albeit, we should be cautious about any supremacist groups that might gain a stronghold anywhere, but I doubt Americans would allow the extremist white-supremacists to rise up. The article is mostly about a strawman.

Who is this compatriot of mine to whom you refer?

The one from another place, whose catchphrase you quoted word for word. Don't play dumb.

I think you will find that this site has a rule that when the person who started a thread requests another contributor not to post to it, that person has to comply with the request of the person who began the thread.

Oh really? Well forthwith you are ordered to never reply to any thread I start.

The USA is weak? Well that is a novel view of your country.

Communism does not have to be pushed by a separate nation to make it a threat in America.

Judging from the date of its inception the Communist Party of the USA has been around for over one hundred years. It would appear it still has yet to make any serious inroads into the "American Way.

But, perhaps, there are international influences. It makes no difference since the threat is to destabilize the nation in order to take it over with a Communist dictator or a pro-Communist tyranny.

And these are?

I didn't see much of the original post.

Then you are commenting upon something you have not read. A somewhat foolish tendency but at least you were honest about your failing.

I have not the slightest idea as to whom you are referring.

I did not issue you with an order. I made a polite request. Therein lies the difference between us. I employ good manners. You have an unfortunate tendency to revert to personal and abusive remarks.

Maybe a foolish tendency but is always validated upon reading stuff you post. (You are inclined to disregard the internal fallacies of the articles your post.) At least I am honest about not falling for this gibberish, while you fail to be honest about your gullibility to accept the stuff your read.

You appear to be a bookworm with no appreciation of the actual events in the world. Enjoy that as long as you can.

As to the weakness of the nation, you miss the inability or lack of desire to stop people from burning cities. You also seem to miss the dreadful financial implications of shutting down the economy for most small businesses -- and the loss of related jobs. I've heard estimates of 10 years to recover from this if things go decently after the stupid quarantine edicts of the governors come to an end.

You appear to be yet another in denial about known facts.

Oh indeed. That is the illusion you live under. I've known other people who live in illusions -- so you are not the only one. However, this don't not overcome the weakness of the ideas you cling to.

If you post something that has a legitimate argument, that will be nice for a change and will deserve better study. Please study logical fallacies before you do the same mistake again.

You have just written that I "fail to be honest about your gullibility to accept the stuff your read". The article I posted contained known facts. That you consider such facts to be "this gibberish" indicates that you are in denial about those facts.

Thanks for your kind response. You missed considering the problem of posting fallacious arguments. The politics in Brazil do not particularly define what is happening in the US (I almost said "America" but that would have been silly).

I have no idea how the article applies to the US when we actually have Communist groups burning up cities -- and are not being generally stopped by right-wingers. Relevance is key when you try to post an article discussing the US.

Keep practicing.

The article was not simply about the USA. I recommend you read the entire thing. .
