White Supremacists protest at UVA

[seer]

So someone drove a car into a crowd, killing one person & wounding several others, because the crowd was supposedly violent?

I visit several forums/news sites to try to get out of my 'bubble' and see opposing viewpoints first hand, but I have yet to come across a discussion on this incident which resembles anything like this one, and so I am sort of fascinated.

Who is saying he was justified in any way here?

[firstfloor]

So what? I'm glad Trump called out the left too...

[seer]

Yes I agree that the Antifa needs to be stopped, alone with the Communists in the crowd.

[Sparko]

No, it isn't. Race is a social construct.

then how can he be a white supremacist?

[Mountain Man]

I don't suppose it has dawned on firstfloor that modern liberalism looks more like the Nazi party than does modern conservatism.

Remember the U.S.-Soviet alliance 1941-1945? There can be no doubt that you are on the wrong side.

Nonsense, just look at how many millions were murdered after the war under Communism.

I am not taking about what happened after the war.

I am, Communism is murderous and unamerican.

Marxism is simply public ownership of the means of production. As we have seen, private ownership capitalism leads to massive concentration of wealth and power and this is beneficial to very few people. The U.S. is an oligarchy.

Because germany happened to be allied with Japan, who attacked the US. If the soviets had attacked the US instead of the japanese, it could have easily gone the other way. For some reason leftists keep identifying themselves with the racist, mysoginistic, homophobes who were the overwhelming majority of the US at the time. Trust me, you are not their equivalent (in any way).

No FF, the US Constitution codifies property rights into law. So Communism is un-american. Second, show me one historical Communist nation that had freedom of speech, freedom of movement, freedom from unlawful search, individual rights. The control that Communism requires, needs totalitarian means.

How does that ownership come about?

Oh yeah, mass murder. It's like saying "Nazism is simply the public ownership of a Jew-free nation". Something gets lost in the translation.

So when Latinos and Blacks claim pride in their race they are really speaking of social constructs?

They are speaking of groups they were put in by society, yes.

Well society put me in the white group - so I get to be proud too - right?
