roflmfao, I'm dying!

Unfortunately a lot of people like Milo fail to make themselves stand out with intelligence. I think this trend of coming out as some liberal/conservative savior/genius has really harmed the ability to create intellectual arguments. Just look at some videos from the people I mention:

 

-Lacy Green

-Ashley Judd

-Femenist Frequency

-Paul Joseph Watson

-Milo

-Steven Crowder

-Hunter Avallone

 

I mean, go ahead and preach what you like, but why do people stick to one side so much? Is there something about going full-on liberal or conservative that I am overlooking?

Well, at least Mr. Yiannopoulos will make himself useful that way.

At least now you've stopped the pretense of being for free speech, etc.

At least I know to take gulag speech as a joke.

Unfortunately a lot of tankies are serious when referring to gulags.

Well, I consider myself a Guild Socialist, I'm certainly not a tanky. But seriously, these Trump supporters can cry "free speech" all they want, making suggestions to put the worst of them into an intensive labor camp isn't a direct attack on their person or is it? ;)

I'm not very familiar with guild socialism, do you have any recommendations for me? Personally I lean towards anarchist communism.

I'd suggest looking up the works of G. D. H. Cole (most importantly Guild Socialism Re-Stated). But for a good societal analysis, I still veer heavily towards Lenin's work (used to identify myself more as a Marxist-Lenninist)

Yeah, I was never a fan of Marxism-Leninism, so people like Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hoxha, etc. are not really on my favourable list, especially considering that they targeted anarchist movements.

Anyone who doesn't like Milo speaking is a homophobe. This lesson was learned during the Obama years. If a group of people don't like the message, find a small unique trait that the speaker has and tell folks if you don't agree with the speaker, you are a ___-a-phobe to not agree with them. Don't like illegals being encouraged to vote? YOU sir are a racist. Upset you can't keep your same Doctor you've had for 20 years, after being told you could? Racist white supremacists agree, so you are one too.

I never like Stalin, Mao or Hoxha, but Lenin's vast contribution to Communist theory cannot be understated, unfortunatly the Anarchists were seen as enemies, that was a historic mistake.

I would look up the definition of facist before you go on with that hyperbole.

The West is far too eager to label everything they dislike some sort of extreme pejorative term.

I'd consider him an emerging one with his current additude. I don't think this hyperbole is out of line with what others here post. Plus if I do feel as though he is one or becoming one, then I have every right to criticize him as one for having what I consider attributes of one. 

If Trump can use labels in order to get his way, it can used against him just as equally. 

As long as you recognize that you're also doing the very thing you're condemning.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
