Yes people whose namesake is derived from a group of people that committed genocide is where I draw my line. Do you even hear yourself right now? What kind of mental gymnastics did you have to perform to equate internet vandalism and theft to hate groups who call for a return to Nazi practices?

Jacobinmag has no trouble with its host.

Ditto "The Young Turks"

History is written by the winners.

And there is controversy insofar as whether they truly committed a genocide with many scholars saying they didn't. There is no controversy with regard to Nazis. If you did 10 minutes of research you could find as much.

There is no controversy. The genocide happened. I've met the survivors. They were brought to my school and I saw the tattoos with numbers on them. I saw the sadness in their eyes. The Holocaust denial statements you've spewed would be illegal and banned in Germany, too.

That's quite the stretch to say the Jacobins committed "genocide".

Man, then you'd have to include all the communists, including Mao's party (that's still in power in China).

Brown guy here in case you feel like calling me a Nazi as well
