You're lucky I let it slide and associate it with pure stupidity on your part because I can sue you and prove I'm not racist in court and clean you out so to speak. I've got the capital and the connections to teach you a nasty lesson about life. You have to be more careful these days. Yes, the Marxists have a bad track record and the Democrats have a bad track record as we've seen several times lately so you are kind of screwed either way at this point.

Countering a supposed insult of racism with an equally slanderous insult of Marxism doesn't do much for your civil case.

The burden of proof would  be on him in an American court. He'd have to prove that I'm racist to get off. Now, he could sue me for calling him a Marxist if he feels that he isn't one at all and knows that he doesn't have a history with Marxism  or affiliations with any Marxists or Marxist groups these days but that would be really stupid  of him to do in my opinion.

I have affiliations with liberal groups (like Unitarian-Universalism, or environmental organizations, or I have donated twice in small amounts to the Southern Poverty Law Center), but certainly not with any avowedly Marxist groups; you'd have a hard time with that one. Well, some Greens claim to be "socialists" these days, but I am not registered Green right now. But "Marxist" per se? That's pretty rare to find anyway. You would have trouble labeling anyone that in a lawsuit. It's not like McCarthy could do in the early 1950s.

But for my charge against you, all I would have to do is quote what you have said in recent posts to prove my case.

In any case, I don't think there's any law against calling someone a racist or a Marxist anyway.
