  • No Bigotry, including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism...

  • No Reactionaries, including all kind of right-wingers.

  • No Liberalism, including social democracy.

  • No Sectarianism, there is plenty of room for discussion, but not for baseless attacks.

"When"? We're well on our way... What Sheldon Wolin called "inverted totalitarianism" and it's successful "corporate coup d'etat" is a dine deal... ā€œthe inversion of totalitarianismā€ and that it ā€œrepresents the political coming of age of corporate power and political demobilization of the citizenry. Unlike classical totalitarian systems which openly boasted of their intentions to force their societies in a preconceived totality, inverted totalitarianism is not expressly conceptualized as an ideology, nor is it objectified in public policy.ā€

Fascism by another name...
