No you're the hypocrite for criticizing one regime but endorsing another. I do not endorse Stalin or Hitler.

But you find it exciting to go around with an anti-semitic avatar.

...Nazism is an ideology of which a central part is the destruction of the Jewish race. Call me illiterate, but I can't remember Karl Marx arguing for that.

There are no non-Jew hating Nazis because there can't be any - it's written into the ideology.

I am not debating the arguments and beliefs of Karl Marx. I am saying that the actions committed by the Communisty Party were just as horrible, if not more so, than those committed by the Nazis. What Karl Marx preached is made irrelevant by what the Communist Party became under Stalin.

Again it is propaganda and I find it interesting to note. I am not endorsing it in any way.

But most commies blame jews for being big capitalists. And the central part of the commie ideology is the destruction of capitalism (won't happen). Who is the hypocrite now?

We're equal opportunity with regard to capitalists, we don't care whether they're Jewish or not. You are endorsing a racist ideology which mandates racial genocide.

Did you miss the part where all the commies here said Stalin was bad, Verto?

The Communist Party? I'm sure Trotsky's supporters will have something to say about that.

Alright, you jerk. I changed the avatar. I was not endorsing anything. You are endorsing the commie regimes of the past, including that of Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot. You are supporting the executions of millions of people.

Your personal feelings towards Stalin do not somehow erase what the Communist Party did.

(Chechnya)

You just set yourself up for a trap, Fez If you dont support the war in Chechnya, how can you support the war in Iraq?

and think it's a damn shame more aren't dsicomforted by the symbology.

Symbols are just that: Symbols.
If you fear a symbol you give it power. It really is that simple IMO

[mrmitchell]

Fez, I would think of you as a better man if you just admitted it.

[Verto]

So it should be OK for me to have an avatar of a burning Star of David. After all, it is just a symbol.

Ideologically based slaughter is permissable, just so long as racial genocide is wiped from the face of the earth.

How relieving.

I see very little difference in the methods of the Communist Party and the National Socialist Party.

Buddy, I'm not saying I prefer the communist party of the USSR over National Scoialism. Both concepts can and should be swept into the dustbin of History ( ). But the ideology of commmunism, if not the practice, is a much less bitter pill for me to swallow than National Socialism. The dummies on this board who claim to be communists (You know...the ones with Apple computers ) might really and truly believe it's possible to wipe out human nature and having everyone be all egalitarian like.

Well, bully for them. Now I think they're being stupid, even if (maybe especially if) they're making the distinction between communism and the more famous Communist Parties of history. I don't like the idea of working my ass off, and getting paid the same (or rationed the same) as the guy who's doing nothing.

Now, I can't really find anyone who has communist-party avatars, and Che's Commie-kittie doesn't count.

Yes.
Its only the people who give the symbol its power
