        None of that answers my question, though. You were ableist, full-stop, and the mods removing ableism is fully acceptable just like removing other forms of bigotry like racism and homophobia. That isn’t “fascist” in the slightest.

        Secondly, you can hate both socialism and capitalism equally. You’d be deeply incorrect for doing so, and this kind of fence-sitting just cedes all agency to those in favor of the status quo, ie capitalism, but you can be wrong. It’s your choice.

            How on earth am I being racist or a colonizer for being a communist and pointing out that using mental illness as an insult is ableism?

            Discussions about political philosophy and ideology aren’t limited to an individual’s personal experiences and traumas associated with an implementation of that ideology.

            If every discussion about capitalism became about specific US atrocities it would also cease to be a philosophical discussion about capitalist ideology.

            Go ahead and relate your personal experiences to the specific tenets and ideas of communism to make your point.

            Otherwise any discussion about politics in Western liberal nations can also be sabotaged by pointing to an unhoused person.
