      Memo to centrist liberals: you really need to stop using the nonsense term "alt-left" which only enables Trumpian false equivalence.

      Repeat after me: there is no such thing as the alt-left. There's no real left-wing counterpart to this new Nazi movement.

      In the absence of a genuine Leninist party, I don't really worry about blowhards who say, "Stalin was the man!"

      There's no genuine Nazi party, either, and I'd wager there are many more Stalinists than Hitlerites in the US.

      You are very, very delusional if you think the radical left is a bigger force in American culture than right-wing racism.

      Since you believe that everything that comes out of Republicans' mouths is right-wing racism, I can see why you'd say that.

      Since I'm aware of American fucking history and centuries of slavery and Jim Crow I think that.

          I know. American history tells you there is no meaningful difference between John C. Calhoun and Paul Ryan. I hear that all the time.
