Cliff, it is always better to speak of the merits of a particular idea rather than try to drag a deception across the the discussion. I find that the use of the term "racist" is most common with those who have no real understanding of the meaning of the term.
Would this mean they are racist against the black or the white half?
Let us try to keep any discussion directed towards merit and not fly off the handle with broad and unwarranted brushstrokes of racism. That concept is so far removed from the real issue as to be laughable.
How is it even possible to connect a criticism of communism with a racist intent?
Marxism has nothing to do with race, it is a cultural and idealogical manifestation of a sick mind.
