Why the fuck are we talking about what Marxists would do?

I came to this thread late, but how did we get from the abhorrent racist fascism to talking about Marxists as though they’re some sort of actual threat in the US?

Well, GOV called Oyvind a Stalinist, which is an extremist totalitarian Marxist. I remain puzzled by their choice of epithets, however.

Unfortunately I’m going to have to spend Thanksgiving ducking any and all political discussions with my dad, who thinks John Stewart is a “far-left socialist,” and who has told me that a feminist like me should fear creeping Sharia here in the US, among other absurdities. He’s a good guy, but he’s fallen in with a bad crowd lately.
