Comparing communism to fascism is like comparing capitalism to dictatorship. They aren't the same thing. I've tried to explain this to you but I guess I'm not doing a very good job. Is there some other method I can use to help you understand the difference between an economic system and a form of goverment? Does antifa stand for "anti-fascist"?

Oy. We don't have a democracy, we have a republic. Come on, man.

Yes!! Exactly, well done. That said, there is ALWAYS moral relativism when it comes to fascism. Always.

I'm not going to call names. I'll just point out that we wiped out an entire race of people and enslaved another as we expanded west. If you want to hang your hat on that we wiped out less people than other countries did, then I say go for it! Be proud of that! Celebrate it!

Def will. Always up for learning more. Thanks!

No, thats dictatorship, the governmental system best suited to pair up with the economic system of communism. Neither is a system worth pursuing. Get out of your box and try free thinking. It works, it really does. And really, didn't we already cover genocide? If you want cite death tolls, the best place to start is at home.

Joe, pro tip: communism is an economic system, not a form of government.

The treatment of AA's by American police since the 13th amendment speaks for itself. I mean, dude.

I not going to call names. I'll leave that to you. I'm comfortable knowing I'm standing up for what is right. You do you. I'll do me.

Communism is an economic system. Dude.

Yes, agreed. We are on the same page.

In every situation, you have to ask why. What do you think the motive was? Am I correct in interpreting "antifa" as meaning "anti-fascist"?

You sound scared.

Agreed, But you don't glorify it. Did I miss the part where they burned all the books about the Civil War while taking down the symbols of oppression? It's not like the statues are the only way to tell the story.

One of those groups wants to erase people from the Earth, the other wants to stop being killed by cops. What's with the "whataboutthemism"? Why are you rationalizing Nazis by pointing at someone else?

Doubt it. Do you think our history of chattel slavery, genocidal western expansion, and apartheid is a history worth celebrating? It's ok to be proud to be an American and also admit that our history of oppression and genocide is real. Nothing wrong with identifying a mistake and working to improve.

I'm not going to call you names, but if your book fighting Nazis and what they stand for makes me an idiot, then I proudly accept the moniker. There are Nazis, and there are those that fight them. There is no middle ground when it comes to Nazis.

I thought we didn't like participation trophies anymore. Or are we handing them out again? Someone tell me what to think!

I think you are on to something here. I mean, I suspect they would spend the capital to draft theyvguybthey think is a franchise changer but short of that I think what you posit has a lot of traction. This group is looking for high quality volume on which to build a legacy. Those six pix could just as easily yield a stud DE, a cornerstone LT, a contributing DT, a promising OG, and two R3 players as one QB.

What do you mean which side? There are Nazis, and there are people that fight them. In America, that's only ONE side.

Peterman is our long term backup. Our long term starter arrives in April.

Yeah I hear this, spot on. No idea what they are thinking here. Only thing I can imagine is they know Cordy's foot is cooked. Also agree worried about Wood's stoutness.

Bummer. They could certainly use him right about now.

He was not suited for RT b/c of injury and planting outside leg on that side of line but at LT right knee injury far less of a factor. He was always more effective on spot duty at LT than at longer term duty at RT. That said, it's blurry who let him walk...was it indeed the new regime?

Groy looks like he has a future, and Miller while getting beat by FC tonight is solid but what is the future looking like? Is Seantrell part of the picture? Who takes over for Richie? We need continuity and depth there badly.
