Ackshually ... the marchers in question self-identify as communists.

No, I got that. I was referring to the greater population rather than the subgroup. Most of them seem to take great pains to make it clear that socialism and communism don't intersect. It's refreshing, actually, to see some of them admit that they're low down dirty good for nothing stinking commie pinkos.  =D

If you want to start a *expletive deleted*it storm in certain chat groups that is one of the best ways.
The left has convinced a lot of people that the Nazis were capitalists thus by association capitalism is bad.

TIK has a bunch of videos on the subject and the left hates him for it.
He used to be rather somewhat socialist himself but realized it's BS and has since been producing content pointing out the lies of the left on this particular matter in addition to his usual history videos.

The Nazi use of “socialist” is somewhat more nuanced than that.  Totalitarian like socialists inevitably become, for sure, but not really socialist.

Like with capitalism it's not a 100% black or 100% white picture. But the Nazis were far more socialists that they were capitalists with most of the capitalist aspects more of a facade than anything and the left loves latching onto only it's capitalist aspects. So if Nazis were bad then capitalism is bad sort of thing while in fact economically they had much more in common with the communists and that is something the left does not want their minions to know lest it spoil their Nazi/Fascism = Capitalism = Nazi/Fascism

Edit; add the bolded

This could open a huge can of worms in being abused

Quote
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government also plans to amend the criminal code to increase hate crime penalties, including by introducing a new offense punishable by up to life imprisonment for those found guilty of inciting genocide.

The Canadian Human Rights Act would also be amended to classify hate speech as discrimination, and would allow the Human Rights Tribunal to handle hate speech offenses.

How many times have we heard "mis-gendering someone or ANY push back against radical transgenderism characterized as genocide? And hate speech could be anything from actual hate to being merely something that runs against the narrative which many on the left routinely characterized as hate speech.

Sounds like some universities need an enema

Quote
Britain's top universities warned staff and students that saying 'the most qualified person should get the job' is a microaggression.

Russell Group universities, including the University of Glasgow, have issued guidance and even provided training courses to educate people on how to eliminate microaggressions.

Guidance from the Scottish university alongside the engineering department of Imperial College London insisted that using the phrase was discriminatory.

Glasgow University's guidance is the latest advice from their anti-racism campaign and the university explained that the phrase ignored the idea that race plays a part in life success.

The top universities said that other examples of microaggressions - subtle or thinly veiled everyday forms of discrimination could include telling people that 'everyone can succeed if they work hard enough'.

Yup. That worthless group, more than any other from the DEI "community", has pushed "words=violence=genocide" and "vengeance against our enemies", and people continue to coddle them instead of giving them a good swift kick in the ass and telling them to grow up.

Of course we have already, here in the US, seen a sentence of two decades for "hate speech" on 06JAN. A life term isn't too far from that. Though life imprisonment for wrongspeech is certainly on the short list of things that could light up Civil War 3.

Yes, that is right... they believed in strong government control of businesses, though "ownership" usually remained private.  The Nazi Party had a 25 point program, of which seven were explicitly socialist:


We demand therefore:

11. The abolition of incomes unearned by work.

The breaking of the slavery of interest

12. In view of the enormous sacrifices of life and property demanded of a nation by any war, personal enrichment from war must be regarded as a crime against the nation. We demand therefore the ruthless confiscation of all war profits.

13. We demand the nationalization of all businesses which have been formed into corporations (trusts).

14. We demand profit-sharing in large industrial enterprises.

16. We demand the creation and maintenance of a healthy middle class, the immediate communalizing of big department stores, and their lease at a cheap rate to small traders, and that the utmost consideration shall be shown to all small traders in the placing of State and municipal orders.

17. We demand a land reform suitable to our national requirements, the passing of a law for the expropriation of land for communal purposes without compensation; the abolition of ground rent, and the prohibition of all speculation in land.

18. We demand the ruthless prosecution of those whose activities are injurious to the common interest. Common criminals, usurers, profiteers, etc., must be punished with death, whatever their creed or race.

"But there are what they call 'MAPS,' Minor Attracted Persons and the limited amount of research that's done on these dolls suggests that they actually, for people who are attracted to minors, that these dolls actually decrease their proclivity to go out and attack children.

Berg's proposal sparked an angry reaction on social media, though some academics have suggested the idea should be taken seriously.

Plenty of a"academics" will tell you socialism is a great idea also

I guess I'm on a "just shoot them" rampage this evening. These euphemistic terms they come up with for everything from "newcomers" for illegal aliens to all the "nonbinary" descriptors are getting ridiculous, but this MAP euphemism is especially disgusting and reprehensible. These are child predators and people who want to be child predators. DO NOT NORMALIZE THEM.

Just shoot them.
