"Black folks?" Wow, Bluffalo! You can even talk the talk. You're down for the struggle!

How many Eminem albums do you have, Bluff?

Just out of curiosity, how do you label Governor Rick Scott and the special prosecutor he appointed? Are they Nazis, fascists, or socialists? Likewise, what about detective Chris Serino, the lead detective who originally interviewed Zimmerman, didn’t believe him, and wanted to prosecute him for manslaughter? Is detective Serino best described as a Nazi, fascist, or socialist?

You know Eminem isn't black, right?

You are best described, as a committed Marxist and leftist, as comprising substantial qualities present in all three ideologies.

I just knew you'd fall for this, Bluff.

See? It turns out that my point is far more valid than you are willing to admit, Droopy. What if Zimmerman owns a copy of The Communist Manifesto? What if he accepts it?

Then I suppose that would make him a communist, wouldn't it?

What I don't see is how that would alter the material facts of the case, and the outcome of a trial before a jury of his peers under the rule of law.

Most people who know me in real life would describe me as a very successful capitalist (I probably earned more money last year than you've earned in your entire life). But I'm not the topic of this conversation: you claim that thinking Zimmerman is guilty of anything (other than guilty of being a model American) is proof that one is either a Nazi, fascist, or socialist. Since it is the Florida state government that is prosecuting Zimmerman, how would you describe Rick Scott and his government? Are they Nazis, fascists, or socialists?

Given the history of the Western intelligentsia in the 20th century, it would probably be fairly difficult to find a revolutionary socialist dedicated to the overthrow and destruction of economic, social, political, and individual liberty and the enslavement of humanity who wasn't either a successful capitalist or the privileged child of successful capitalists.

Socialism has never been the ideology of the actually existing poor, Analytics. It always has to be imposed on them at gunpoint. Revolution and utopian collectivism are the parlor game of the intellectuals.

But I'm not the topic of this conversation: you claim that thinking Zimmerman is guilty of anything (other than guilty of being a model American) is proof that one is either a Nazi, fascist, or socialist.


I've never claimed any such thing. I said that this mentality, and these techniques of public character assassination and intellectual lynching based on scant or nonexistent evidence are the classic tactics of the authoritarian/totalitarian Left, which you and a number of others here well represent.

Simply not believing Zimmerman per se was not a part of that criticism.
