I don't know if it makes sense, but I make one more attempt at 
dialogue.  While I continue to hold that it is inadvisable to call a 
state "fascist" without at the same time advocating appropriate 
anti-fascist actions (see my post titled "re: fascist?" Sat, 6 Oct 
2001 12:47:09 -0400) against the said state, as I believe that such a 
liberal use of the term fascism would dilute its political meaning, 
that is merely my opinion, and you are naturally free to act against 
my advice.  The same goes for the use of the term "citizens' 
movement."  It is inadvisable to use this term if you want to appeal 
to non-citizen residents as well as citizens, especially in times of 
anti-immigrant sentiments like today (for instance, a non-citizen who 
sees the term "citizens' movement" in a flyer may not think that she 
is being encouraged to join it).  Again, that's my opinion & advice 
to you as a fellow leftist, which you are free to take it or leave it.

To be honest, I'm not sure why you should get mad at me.
