So from that, the "Never Trumpers" are the media.
And 60% of the population doesn't approve of Trump. Rasmussen Reports/Pulse Opinion Research a known right wing leaning pollster.

One should ask him to define a "Never Trumper" Only one I've ever heard was a member of the GOP who could not support Rump and would not vote in the general election.

The real surprise is going to happen before the mid-term elections.

How have we even got to the point where Nazi's aren't automatically the bad guys? I'm mystified.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/28-approve-trumps-response-charlottesville-poll/story?id=49334079&cid=clicksource_4380645_2_hero_headlines_headlines_hed
1 in 10 say it's acceptable to hold neo-Nazi views (POLL)

Additionally, 9 percent in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll call it acceptable to hold neo-Nazi or white supremacist views, equivalent to about 22 million Americans. A similar number, 10 percent, say they support the so-called alt-right movement, while 50 percent oppose it.

All I can figure is that by teaching the BS of ID it has prevented children, our future, from critical thinking and shown them they can believe utter falsehoods. One of these days humans will wake up and discard their made up comfort zone myths. If they don't and soon, there won't be humans.

How have we even got to the point where the Marxists, who have murdered and enslaved over one billion people over the last hundred years, aren't automatically the bad guys? I'm mystified.

How you convolute Marxists with Stalinists befuddles me. They are not the same thing.

As Maoists, Castroists, Kimists, et al., Cannot be separated from Marxism.

No, but not all Marxists are Maoists, Castroists, Kimists. Where did you get the idea they were?
Edit, marxism is an Economic system, Maoism, Stalinism and the others you listed are political systems. Your equating the two shows very sloppy intellectual rigor. You claim to have taught history at a university level, if you got away with that in the classroom I would question the university's credentials. Was it a for profit school?

Free Anti-Communist Speech for the Individual,... Results in imprisonment or worse.
Freedom of Association with those who are Anti-Communist ... Results in imprisonment or worse.
Freedom of the Press to criticize the Communist Government ... Results in imprisonment or worse.

You have just proved that governments that do that are not Marxist.

Clyde,

Why do you have a problem with answering questions asked of you? You keep skirting them by posting more rhetoric crap. What you posted above in no way answered the 2 questions I highlighted above.

Are now stating that Fidel Castro, who System of Enslavement included:

Free Anti-Communist Speech for the Individual... Results in imprisonment.
Freedom of Association with those who are Anti-Communist ... Results in imprisonment.
Freedom of the Press to criticize the Communist Government... Results in imprisonment.

Was not a Communist/Marxist.

If Fidel Castro was not a Communist/Marxist. What was he?

I would have thought, considering you claims, that you should know that you shouldn't rely on your beliefs, they get in the way of facts.

Sorry that the truth of what I am posting is so discomforting.

Since you have now stated that Fidel Castro was not a Marxist/Communist.

What was he?

Why should I be your teacher. Be the good teacher you claimed to be, do some research.

WK, you must understand as a alt-right, there is an insatiable need to label fellow human beings. It allows them to denigrate the label and by association a fellow human being. It allows them the rationalization, they are superior to human beings.

Therefore...

Fidel Castro was a liar. Why would anyone support or excuse him.

Partido Comunista de Cuba (Communist Party of Cuba) is a lie. Why would anyone support or excuse that.

The Castro Family is wealthy. Over $100,000,000. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Fidel Castro destroyed the future of the Cuban People. Forcing them to live in fear, if they spoke put against this Dictator and his Enslavement System of Control. Why would anyone support or excuse that.

However Nick: ID 666...

I will accept that I should have referenced Deranged and Evil Communism. Not the totally stupid and dangerous Marxist Model. Where, if you actually read The Communist Manifesto. Is the belief in Superior and Sinless Humans controlling people. Which must result in, as it always has. In the Murder and Enslavement of all.

Clyde You continue to post with out answering direct questions that is intellectually corrupt. I cite:

Nope, for the alt-right the need is insatiable, for other humans there is a strong desire.

It is like something someone once told be about psychology, "Men have fetishes, women have preferences."

Actually I should have correctly described them as, take you pick. Supporters of, enablers of and/or excusers of Anti Freedom Communists.

Yes, you commonly paint with too wide of a brush, I suggest you learn to be more concise.

Anyone not "fixated" upon the evils of Nazism, Communism, KKK, Radical Right and Left, et al.

Are enablers of the evil.

Another hasty generalization, a hasty generalization is an informal fallacy of faulty generalization by reaching an inductive generalization based on insufficient evidence—essentially making a rushed conclusion without considering all of the variables.
I contend there are people in this world who are unaware of what you condemn and you group them with those who are aware. Your brush is too wide.
I am fixated on dishonesty such as you continually display.

So we can safely assume that you are "evil" because those that fought & died to fight Nazism gets told this: -

Just remember the British Government, with their peoples acceptance. Purposefully burning alive Germain children. In their Terror Bombing raids.
The same as the American Government, with their peoples acceptance. Purposefully burning alive Japanese children. In their Terror Bombing raids.

That statement is just wrong.

I have to admit I am an enabler of evil then, as I suspect is most of the free world.

I do not support the organisations you named, but I am in no way "fixated" on them either.

I would like to know how many others here are "fixated" on these organisations in the same way the poster is.

Please no insults
