Thank you for showing me the results of your research.
Because I do need help in understanding this history. Help in deriving some sense of all the "data", all the myriad instances of this action or that, so many of which are emotionally draining just to read about.

In one sense nothing ever changes in the violent fascist/colonialist enterprise, nothing changes in the fascist "empire" regardless of the name given to the administration. That's something that I think a lot of DUers don't understand, don't realize. Certainly something that no "Third Way Democrat" would admit to understanding.

I just got a post hidden because it did one thing: It posted a youtube video of Woody Guthrie saying and singing about what he thinks about fascism. A rather central topic to consider, both then and now. A DUer wasn't pleased, and that DUer yelped, and the DU jury hid my post in a 4/3 verdict.

So I thought about this. Would I censor myself to such extent that I give safe haven for fascists, so safe that even a Woody Guthrie song has to be erased? No, I wouldn't. In other words, I'm unrepentant and I stand by my post of the Guthrie video, and I have NOTHING BUT COMMENDATION FOR THE SENTIMENT WOODY GUTHRIE EXPRESSES IN THE VIDEO.

I would not provide safe haven for fascists or commingle with those that do.
