No. Communists are not nazis. Communists do not advocate for the extermination of any marginalized group. I made it very clear that the opinion being expressed matters here, so I'm not sure why you'd think this is inconsistent?
As a person from an ex-communist country, whose family was killed by the communist government for being farmers I would disagree with that. So my question would be - why jail nazis but not communists?
Oh wow, you are talking about my grandfather who was killed because he owned 2 acres of land and his family was sent to Siberia.
At least now I know why you have such blind spot re. communists, as you do sound like a tankie alright.
Please don't perpetuate flamewars on HN or use it for ideological battle. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
Please also omit name-calling and swipes and personal attacks from your comments here. Believe me, I know how intense it can get when other people's points land on old wounds, but we're all responsible for managing our reactions.
> racists should find it hard to make friends and find employment.
It may surprise you but any form of social ostracism that is not government sanctioned will not achieve any of that regarding regular people. It will affect only celebrities and a segment of the public intellectuals. (But there will be a different segment that will benefit)
Regarding kanye west, his biggest problem was that a significant chunk of his "sponsors" (=board members of companies) and business partners were actually jewish. Had he said the same thing about Australian Aboriginals (or the same thing about jews but if his main market was East Asia), he'd be completely fine after the initial outrage subsided. So I don't think you actually understand anything about your example at all.
