Also you don't feel that way already toward Stalinism?
...when did I say that?
You don't hold Stalinism "in utter contempt"?
...of course I do. How the hell do you read any of my posts and get the impression I don't??
That's my point. There already is an "ostensibly "left-wing" ideology" you hold in utter contempt.
Honestly, I don't consider personality cults to be even worthy of the name ideology. Say what you want about "hardline", but at least it does seem to be based on a set of universal principles.
Anyway, this thread is not gonna be very interesting if it's just a flame war between us.
