What a disgusting, far-right shopowner! A couple of disadvantaged and discriminated against Muslims, clad in black and armed to the hilt with sinister looking weapons, storm his shop with nothing but peace, love, and happiness in their blessed little hearts, and he has the temerity to grumble about it a little? Hate speech! He tried to deny these poor, poor souls their basic human rights to plunder, pilfer, riot, and destroy! How dare he! Those valiant and heroic migrants deserve to have statues erected of them in parks, and praised as standing up for justice. And that wicked businessman deserves to be locked up in a cold, dark, forlorn dungeon for his crimes against humanity where he will never see the light of day again!

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but the highest form of intelligence.

Socialism at it finest!

Oh, you haven't seen anything yet. Look at the hundreds of millions murdered by Stalin in the USSR.

The man was a dictator, but on the scale of things, not really much of a socialist.

For your information, socialism and communism are not the same thing. Communism is a form of anarchism – have you ever read the Communist Manifesto as I have? – it believes in classless and stateless utopia where everyone contributes to the "common stock" and takes only what they need from it. Socialism, they believe, is the path to get to these anarchist utopia – they must have an incredibly large government that socialises healthcare, nationalises industries, breaks up monopolies, sets wages and prices, spies on its citizens, and taxes the rich to hell, and redistributes wealth. You're wrong – Joseph Stalin was a textbook socialist!

It is BECAUSE I understand the difference that I don’t consider him as such. Stalin violated a thousand strong tenets of socialism, such as a free press and democratic government. He even said himself, “Freedom of the press, too, is a kind of beauty which one must have loved to be able to defend. It is something which I love truly, whose existence I feel to be essential, to be necessary to me so that without it I cannot live at peace, or live a full life”. Marx did not approve of or support most anything Stalin did. Everyone regretted him once he died, everyone feared and despised him. He’s not a part of that, and if he’s a socialist, he’s not really a good one, gotta admit.
