Anyone who says that fascist should have the right to form political parties and express their fascist beliefs because of freedom of speech is siding with the fascist, and I'm sure that they'll thank you for your service to their cause before they throw you in jail or worse.

@Radical_EgoCom "It is my firm conviction that if the State suppressed capitalism by violence, it will be caught in the coils of violence itself, and fail to develop non-violence at any time. The state represents violence in a concentrated and organized form. The Individual has a soul, but as the state is a soulless machine, it can never be weaned from violence to which it owes its very existence."https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi

@Radical_EgoCom I don't believe in parties, but also there is no place for authoritarianism, call to violence and bigotry. If someone wants to control my life and my speech, does not deserve a platform nor my attention.

@Radical_EgoCom The marketplace of ideas requires those who participate to do so in good faith. Fascism exploits the social contract of all for the benefit of few, violating the good faith principle.We are not required to tolerate the existence of fascism on any level.

@rvinson I don't know why you sent me a Stalin meme that I'm pretty sure you've already sent before, but these theories and debates are still very relevant today.

@Radical_EgoCom Because Stalin's Marxism was contrasted with anarchism, and we can see the outcome.

@rvinson What does Stalin have to do with anything we're talking about? I'm not a Stalinist. I'm not even a Marxist-Leninist. I'm a Luxemburgist.

@Radical_EgoCom You're discussing a proletariat revolution and vanguard state from what I've observed.

@rvinson I believe in a transitional state, but not Vanguardism. I already told you I'm a Luxemburgist. If you did even the smallest amount of research on Luxemburgism, you'd very quickly find out they Luxemburgism is against Vanguardism.

@Radical_EgoCom What's the difference between a transitional state and a vanguard state?

@rvinson The transitional state that I support would be governed by workers' councils that elect representatives through direct democracy to represent them in the state, and also other socialist and communist parties would be allowed to exist, so it wouldn't be a one-party state. That's the difference.

@Radical_EgoCom "The labor unions were governmentalized and turned into mere transmitters of the orders of the state. The people’s cooperatives—that vital nerve of active solidarity and mutual help between city and country—were liquidated. The Soviets of peasants and workers were castrated and transformed into obedient committees. The government monopolized every phase of life."https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/emma-goldman-there-is-no-communism-in-russia

@rvinson That's Marxism-Leninism. You're using critiques of Marxism-Leninism to argue against Luxemburgism. Can you actually argue against Luxemburgism without mentioning Marxism-Leninism?

@rvinson Does that sound like Luxemburgism? No, I don't mean Libertarian Socialism. Why don't you go and look up what Luxemburgism is for yourself. It'll be much easier that way.

@Radical_EgoCom "In the 1930s, long after her death, she received an unasked-for gift: the coining of the term “Luxemburgism” to describe a particular form of socialist politics, supposedly counterposed to “Leninism”.In fact Luxemburg was a close comrade of Lenin on the left wing of the international socialist movement for decades; a passionate supporter of the Russian Revolution of October 1917…"https://www.workersliberty.org/story/2018-09-01/myth-luxemburgism

@rvinson I'm talking about "Luxemburgism," not whatever Rosa Luxemburg herself did or did not personally believe in at whatever time. Also, stop sending images. I'm only interested in what you have to say, not what some image says.

@Radical_EgoCom From what I can gather Luxemburgism is a form of Marxism, hence the images and quotes.

@rvinson Just because someone is a Marxist doesn't mean they're a Marxist-Leninist. Luxemburgists are not Marxist-Leninists.

@Radical_EgoCom I feel like that's a big part of where America has gone totally crazy is the inability to grasp nuance.The bill of rights was written with such vague but absolutist language that it creates at least the impression of loopholes.We *aren't* better off hearing from fascists but we also don't have any statutory legal framework to distinguish between them and any other unpopular message.Leaving it all up to the courts instead of legislating hasn't been a super positive approach.

@bhasic @Radical_EgoCom The Paradox of Tolerance disappears when you consider tolerance not as some absolute principle to be followed, but as a social contract which demands reciprocity. We would all benefit from living in a tolerant society, but it would be self-defeating to afford such protections to the intolerant just so they can destroy it from within.[Paraphrasing some take I've seen in the wild.]

@Radical_EgoCom i think the problem lies on no one identifying as fascist, as in "but look at the women and people of color in our parties"!
