What the KKK is trying to do is to rebrand itself, and part of that is to attempt to redefine what racism means. In their definition, racism basically comes down to lynchings and burning crosses: if you’re not actively doing them, you can’t be a racist organisation.
That, of course, is bullshit. And it’s why we don’t let white racists define what racism is or isn’t, because their definition excludes pretty much all forms of racism. Hate groups don’t get to define what is and isn’t hatred.
OK, hate groups don’t get to define. What is a hate group?
A hate group is:
“…an organisation that – based on its official statements or principles, the statements of its leaders, or its activities – has beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics.”
Super, the commies hate the bourgeoisie and the capitalists – elimination as a class is a pretty good sign of that – therefore commies don’t get to define stuff. There most certainly are groups out there – say, the PAC in S Africa – which hate white peeps so therefore they don’t get to define. And modern feminism – men are simply so hateful – has problems with being allowed to define anything then.
Gonna make those marches a bit lonely but we should hold them to their own definitions, right?
And of course Antifa are fascists regardless of what they call themselves.
One did note the emphasis that racists are necessarily white.
So objecting to people because Daddy – sorry, Pater – sent them to Eton is a hate group activity?
Who could doubt it?
“And of course Antifa are fascists regardless of what they call themselves.”
No. Stop calling them fascist, they’re communists; sadly, even though communism has murdered far more people than either fascism or nazism, we still allow communists to walk our streets and give them media platforms.
Oh, that weirdo again. Whadya expect from a female impersonator? Surely the views or 0.001% of the population aren’t even worth the bother of reading, let alone discussing.
Stop calling them fascist, they’re communists
There is little practical difference. National socialism vs international socialism. The soles of their boots look the same.
“There is little practical difference. ”
There’s a huge practical difference; get called a ‘Nazi’ and you stand good chance of being violently assaulted by leftists, you could be fired from your job, socially ostracized or get your bank account and credit cards cancelled.
Get called a ‘Communist’ and nothing will happen to you.

Are the Ku Klux Klan racist? According to the Klan, they are not.
“Self ID for me, but not for thee”, mansplains befrocked chubster.
Let’s go back to that statement from the KKK flyer and change two words.
“So you see, according to respected trannyologists, women are KKK…”
We’re not transphobic, we just think you’re a danger to children, women, society, lesbians, gay men, feminism, yourselves, and should be excluded from everywhere we decide you shouldn’t be, and should be denied treatment, demonised, pathologised, ridiculed and debated endlessly.
Fat, middle aged white guys who abandon their families for the masturbatory fetish lifestyle while endlessly demanding you praise their stunning-and-braveness are the REAL victims, bigot.

Self-awareness by-pass alert!
A hate group is:
“…an organisation that – based on its official statements or principles, the statements of its leaders, or its activities – has beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics.”
So defining all White people as having ‘White privilege’ which they cannot help or control because of their whiteness, and unconscious racism and micro-aggression as immutable, innate characteristics of being White is…. ???
Wokism = racism.
I’ve always thought the ‘White privilege’ claim is nothing but White Supremacist ideation. And of course TRUE white supremacists don’t need to organize, protest, join anything or oppress anyone. The supremacy, if it exists, will just come out, won’t it?
Jonathan,
Historically correct, but they have resurrected a dead name and repurposed it, and I doubt they’re getting much support from the Soviet Union. What exact kind of collectivist they are is debatable, but the objection to allowing hate groups to define themselves stands.
The interesting thing is to remind people that the KKK was the paramilitary wing of the Democrats. And that impeccably “liberal” (whatever that means) president, Woodrow Wilson, was a vocal supporter.
Instead we let the non-white racists define it. And their definition *definitely* excludes all forms of racism except that from white people.
What is the difference? Each requires a totalitarian state exercising total control over all aspects of personal and economic activity. Is it the 20%? In that a fascist state might allow some minor control to devolve down to the individual while a communist state will require total submission? Is it that communists will *say* they’re working towards the ‘withering away’ of the state – ‘we’re just not quite yet ready Comrade’ – while fascists consider the state to be an end in itself?
There is no reason to pretend that the difference between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany (or Mussolini’s Italy) was anything more than a matter of degree, not kind.
Who owns the means of production?
Private parties or the state?
There’s your difference.
Remember. According to former leader of the KKK, David Duke the KKK aren’t anti-Black, they are pro-White.
Yeah. Right.

The amount of attention the Left pays to the KKK and “white supremacists” is absurd given their numbers and influence.
If private parties own the means of production but must deploy it under the control of and dispose of it only with the permission of the state – then do they really own it?
I think the KKK need to be watched.
There seems to be a problem with extreme support of freedom of speech. We need to tackle racism, sexism, bullying, homophobia, and cyber bullying.
Freedom of speech has to have a balance with maintaining order, and stopping bullying.

There is a massive difference between internationalist socialists and nationalist socialists. The NAZIs murdered 6 million jews. The NAZIs stopped democracy, trade unions, and called for nation states to remain independent. How is that anything like a international socialist who calls for tolerance, equality, liberty, freedom, racial equality and social justice?
The NAZIs were the exact opposite of International socialists.
The NAZIs did not even support the relatively weak League of Nations because it was a transnational organisation.
Hitler hated transnational organisations. He would have hated the European Union as suggested in his odious Mein Kampf book where he called for nations to be independent, of what he called the Jewish Satrapy.
Churchill, and Eisenhower called for European Unity many times.
Plus imperialism has killed more people than the communists. The British Empire killed 100 million people, in famines war and slavery. The Spanish Empire killed over 100 million including 80o million in Latin America. The Chinese and German empires killed tens of millions. Plus the NAZis killed 60 million in their wars and genocides.
The NAZIs stopped democracy, trade unions, and called for nation states to remain independent. How is that anything like a international socialist who calls for tolerance, equality, liberty, freedom, racial equality and social justice?
Ah, but “calling” for things is not the same as delivering them. Nor intending to.
Name a Communist country with independent unions. They are just branches of government in all of them, and that is by default.
Name a Communist country where voters can vote for non-Party candidates. They can’t, and that is by default. So not democratic.
Name those Communist countries that agreed to be merged, and not remain independent. A few were force merged into the USSR, but that’s it.
So complaining the Nazis “stopped democracy, trade unions, and called for nation states to remain independent” is a bit damned rich when defending the hard Left that was identical.
Stalin loved transnational organisations — they were easy to infiltrate and do his bidding. What he couldn’t stand were such organisations having any sway at all in the countries he ruled. Only in other places.
