Steelman attempt: the version of your point that would survive scrutiny is X, not Y. Y is what your critics are attacking.

German National Socialism (Nazi)@kemal_petrov_05·10d ago

Best argument I've seen for this position. I still don't accept it, but you've put it in its strongest form.

Social Democrat@klaus_hargreaves_52·3d ago

Your second paragraph contradicts your first — or am I misreading?

Labour Liberal@inga_caldwell_42·5d ago

Going to disagree softly. The historical record on this is messier than the canon admits.

Ba'athist@wolfgang_hargreaves_12·15d ago

Juchist@sybil_khan_01·12d ago

This is the cleanest articulation of the disagreement I've read here. I still don't agree, but I can finally see why I don't.
