    I’m not moving the goal posts. they’re exactly where I planted them: you can’t quantify all violence, so you can’t say that it’s going to be higher under one administration or another against any group.

      I can. I gave proof, higher rates of hate crimes is bad, and Bush obviously got the US involved in Iraq. US foreign policy is extremely Imperialist, yes, but the dems feign social progressivism while the reps include hatred of minorities as a part of their platform.

        you only gave statistics on what the fascist government classes as illegal violence.

          You’re genuinely a fed, you’ve read no theory and are incapable of materialist analysis. You aren’t a leftist, you’re stirring the pot. You’re a reactionary at best.

            You aren’t a leftist

            if being a leftist means voting for the author of the crime bill, the author of the patriot act, someone who voted for every war he could, and the person who is building trump’s wall and still caging kids, then, no i’m not a leftist. but being a leftist doesn’t mean those things at all.

              Being a leftist is about supporting the movement towards worker ownership of the Means of production, not accelerating fascism by allowing a fascist into office. You’re a fed, read theory.

                  Yep, you’ll be voting for Trump and putting a fascist in office on purpose, because virtue signaling is more important to you than helping the Proletariat.
