Look, I'm not trying to be controversial for controversy's sake. But I think there's a tendency for socialists to dismiss the crimes of nominally socialist regimes by saying that such regimes weren't socialist in the first place.

Look, Alex, you are changing the subject. I was not talking about any regime but that of Nazi Germany. Until you can withdraw and apologize for any remote suggestion that any socialist should ever need to take any responsibility for that regime I don't think we have much to say to each other, ever, on anything.

When you eat those words, then (given time) I will talk to you about the Soviet Union, Vietnam, etc. etc. but I can't as long as you are taking Nazi Lies seriously and even repeating them on a maillist.
