I didn't imply, either. You carelessly inferred to a remarkable degree.
Language is a far more potent weapon than many realize. Learn to use it well.
Please tell me specifically, are you a Stalinist as well? I didn't have time to read everything you wrote on your main page. I'd be entertained to know, since he was a worse mass murderer than Hitler and not exactly a person to hitch your star to in this day and age. I hold that charge against him, and even were it not so, I'd hate him to my very core for having Trotsky killed. He wasn't fit to tie Leon's shoes.
While I'm not communist myself, rather a most ardent socialist, I've followed the development of various world political systems with great interest. Regardless of where we differ, for some reason Trotsky found more favor with me than the others. I'm sure his absolute and undeserved betrayal and assassination has something to do with it.
While you wonder about my depth of knowledge, don't forget that every political system morphs to some degree over time as more people learn what works and what doesn't. Trying to hold out for one's own understanding (which may conflict with another's) of a traditional/pure version is playing a fool's game and plays right into the hands of the opposition. Youth in general tends to mistake what I just said there as a sellout. But it isn't. I see it as survival of the fittest. We have a fine ultra-left group here; I just don't know how far you're going to get fishing for converts on DU, to be quite frank.
