Well, there is quite a variety of opinion on this list, so if you are fearful even of hearing 'dangerous' opinion, then perhaps it is the wrong list for you.
As to Ted's post; I have many differencew with his views, but it sounds prety absurd to call him a "stalinist," unless "stalinist" means anyone who takes action or supports others in taking action. Besides, Stalin has been dead for over 55 years & to be still throwing his name around to scare the children looks pretty silly.
But what in the deuce is a "social justice" position?
