BNP vs UAF - Facebook

You post quite similarly to Bismarck, a fellow mod, though he's secular.

I never try and justify myself to anyone who uses the word "racist" to make a point, neither do I admit nor deny being "racist". It's a stupid scare word used to repress speech and thought, I try not to give it any credit and laugh when people call me "racist"

Happybob, would you hate yourself if you were black? I mean, if you were born black but with exactly the same personality and upbringing, would your race [something which was uncontrollable after all] affect your political views. Bear in mind that you wouldn't be the "typical Anglo-Saxon" [whatever that is - certainly not me with part Irish, part German, part whatever else, in my blood].

You seem to be quite defensive about fascism, strange that for a lib.

It's not strange at all. It's tolerance.

I should have added "as well as being so vehemently offensive towards socialism". If it was tolerance, he'd extend at least the same decency towards socialists.

"life became worse even than it was under the Tsars"

Did it? That's entirely subjective and I could easily argue the many ways which that's quite untrue.

That life under the "communists" was worse than under the Tsars? Quite possibly the one thing historians are agreed upon generally...

tbh I prefer to live longer, be "allowed" a job, legal abortion, an education, and a far more equal (notice not "an equal") society.

I don't know about that. I'm sure there are plenty of Cold War historians who have taken every opportunity to enlarge on the horrors of life for many under Stalin, but this doesn't make Tsarist Russia a bed of roses all of a sudden. It's not my area though - which historians are you referring to?

Weak government is better than strong government.

Hooray! Another convert! This way to the milk and honey.

It wasn't AS level history for beginners in 20th century britain.

Yeah you're quite right, absolutely no steps were taken towards women's emancipation, women weren't brought into the factories and collective farms, they weren't given equal status in marriage, they weren't allowed to be educated

AS I expected more.

I'm a member of the Libs, in case you didn't know

Since when? I had you down as having Liberal Democrat tendencies. Not in a sexual way, obviously. Or maybe. I don't know.

absolutely. Literacy didn't rise from less than 1% to almost 100%, schools weren't built, the population of the cities didn't increase 10 fold, the country didn't undergo massive industrialisation and millions of jobs weren't created.
