don't be the annoying pedant; we're fully capable of understanding that the “national socialist german workers' party” was not a socialist party (and that a “nazi” is a pejorative and was from the start), that the phrase “marxist-leninist” is generally used to mean “left-authoritarian but want to pretend it isn't”, that the “communist party of the soviet union” was actually presiding over a project of building an authoritarian state capitalism, and that the “republican” party in the united states is trying to make the united states a theocratic dictatorship.

i implore the tech nerds to learn a modicum of biology before making very confident statements.

oh ffs. one goes voting in the european elections, as one does, and all the fun passes by, unread, deleted, non-existing.
