"Left wing reactionary" is a contradiction in terms. Only right-wingers like you are or ever can be reactionaries. I just hope we can "steal" both your guns and your tax money as much as we can. If you use your guns to seal our fate, odds are they will be confiscated and you will be jailed.
Stalin was a madman and a gangster devoid of any respect for human life. The only moral thing that he did was to ban corporal punishment in schools (I suspect that he had much experience with beatings). He is hated even in some far-left circles.The Communist Party of the USA disparages him for his cruelty and despotism.
Your vengeful, angry rhetoric is far closer to suggesting what Stalin did than what Reagan or Thatcher did.
“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.”
― Friedrich W. Nietzsche
Stalin was a Left Wing dictator aka Communist dictator. Hitler was another Left Wing dictator aka Fascist dictator. Do you want to find yourself being lumped with Eric and share the same fate as Eric? You have a choice, I hope you make the right choices but if you don't then whatever, it's your life not mine.
Hitler, like most fascists, was a right-winger. Hitler served the agrarian and industrial elites at the expense of working people. He destroyed trade unions in favor of the German Labor Front, an organization that simply exhorted workers to work harder and longer for less so that they .could deserve more from employers (which they of course never t) while fleecing workers for contributions to dubious charities such as the bank account of its leader Robert Ley.. Workers lost the right to strike or even change employers, so they became industrial serfs. Any worker who fell short of an employer's demands could be carted off to a concentration camp at which he would be sweated even more for short rations until he either died or learned to fit Nazi expectations. Add to this, Nazi Germany became a slave system even harsher than the ante-bellum South.
Ultra-Leftist Karl Marx endorsed the Union side in the American Civil War in opposition to slavery. Tell me what sort of Leftist would have endorsed Nazi-style slavery.
You can count on me opposing any fascism even if it calls itself "American". I have a far broader concept of what is American than you do, and it wants nothing to do with any culling of those people that you consider un-American.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
