Opinion of Matthew27?

[JA]

Anyone who posts on StormFront (let alone a five-figure post count) is beyond help.

Very succinctly put.

I have to say that I disagree. My ideological past isn't exactly secret on here. I used to post on Stormfront (although, certainly nowhere near 10,000 posts and only for a brief period of time), so I certainly don't believe that simply because someone posts on Stormfront then they're beyond redemption. There are even former Aryan Nation, KKK, and other assorted White Supremacists who were quite committed to their ideology, including tattoos, rituals, and demonstrations of violence, who've been redeemed.

Whether or not Matthew27 can be is an interesting question and, without knowing him better, is impossible for anyone to truly answer. So, while I'm not in favor of him being immediately banned, I do believe he should be closely monitored and subject to more rigorous scrutiny by the moderators than ordinary posters.

So you used to be a fascist and now you're a socialist? Figures. Reminds me of that Onion article entitled "Former Cult Members Find New Life With Jesus Christ."

So, you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground? Figures. People who depend upon simplistic intellectual and moral structures tend to be drawn to ideologies such as Libertarianism, then pretend like they're superior to others in their simplicity.

I'm quite certain that you don't have the slightest clue what the actual teachings of Marxism are, what philosophic foundations it is founded upon, or what motivates most people to support it. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but I'm confident that, in this situation, that won't occur.
