I miss the Commie rants, Coggins. Please bring them back!



No go unless you start a thread that attracts my attention. Based upon what you've said so far on the issues involved, educating you on the history, doctrines, and philosophical implications of Communism (Marxism/Leninism) would take up far too much bandwidth to be worth my the keypad wear and tear.

If you cannot at least get past the long discredited old hobby horse that Communism, National Socialism, and Fascism are opposite, contrary systems, you cannot really have a philosophically substantive--in a broader sense-- discussion on these issues and their implications for philosophy, political economy, psychology, and the history of ideas.

I was being facetious. :) I don't really miss the commie rants....

Coggins, I am aware of the ideology of communism and fascism. The ideologies are polar opposites on a political left right scale. Go look through the thread we already hashed this out on. Instead of replying to many of my posts (where I spelled out precisely the differences) you merely went and copy and pasted articles that didn't really support your case....

Rants well, whatever...

The second sentence in this paragraph negates the claim made in the first.

Ah, so, let me change "ideology" to ideologies. Better?

Which thread was?


The LDS political thread. I bumped it a while back. I don't want to hash it out again with you, though. It is entirely too repetitive for my liking.

I only notice that he attempts to float down the middle of some issues that really should be rather easy to take a strong and passionate stand on.

Yes it's too easy. People like to be dittoheads and passionately tow the party line. I am not an ideologue or an extremist (which is what you accused me of) You also accused me of unthinkingly towing the leftist party line. A mishmash? Now I am not passionate enough and my views not predictable and uniform enough?

Let's face it. You are on the extreme right and you will never do anything but insult anyone who is not. For you there are two kinds: those who agree with Limbaugh/Coulter and then there are the godless leftist commie traitors.
