Burford's post re Yoshie

[Charles Brown]

Fascism is open terroist rule of the most chauvinist, racist sector of imperialism (imperialism today being monopoly capitalism). The main imperialist power in the world today is the U.S. Serbia is not an imperialist nation. Yoshie is opposing imperialist war. Those arguing against Yoshie  and in favor of U.S. imperialist war are much closer to fascism than Yoshie. But I guess things get confused and turned upside down easily when the bombs start falling.  

Totalitarianism is , as Michael Hoover says, bourgeois anti-communist , anti-Soviet rhetoric (Hannah Arendt) from the Cold War . Speaking of totalitarianism , Big brother controls your mind by having you watching him in totalitarian U.S. 1999. The mind control works so good, he has Anglo-American chauvinist/jingoists "leftists" calling the socialists "social fascists".
The attack on Yoshie is true "left" conservatism.

re: social fascism?  wrong...'theory' of social fascism was used by 
Stalin to characterize soc-dems as the 'moderate wing of fascism'...

re: totalitarian?  nope, won't fly either...'theory' of totalitarianism 
was cooked up by post-WW2 libs & cons who sought to recast Soviets in
place of Nazi Germany as incarnation of evil empire that could be
deterred only by aggressive foreign policy backed by worldwide
military presence...

above slander reminds of left anti-communist capitulation to right-wing 
in use of 'apologist' and 'Stalinist' to characterize leftists who
refused to buy into US Cold War bullshit (didn't matter if latter were 
critical of 'actually existing socialism' or not)...Michael Hoover
