Regardless of the hyperbolic rhetoric, we do have a POTUS who we don't know much about, other than he has and does dance with a cast of characters that are nothing short of Radicals, Racists, Fascist, Communists, Socialist and Marxist, and many of his themes, ideas and policies lean in that direction.

Sigaba is saying quit the name calling. He is saying you cannot have a reasonable conversation or debate when you throw out labels such as Fascist, Communist, Socialist and Marxist.

But Abiding by that idea puts those labels into the same PC category as the Nazi label. So no matter what the fact is or isn't, but you cannot use the label.......you have to dance around the issue to address the issue if you want to be taken seriously.

You can think it, you can know it but you can't say it.

And, at the end of the day, one can be a Marxist or Socialist and if they are, there is nothing wrong with referring to them as such. If it looks like a duck.....
