Don't know why this got downvoted. Communism has killed more than Nazi's, so if we're banning Nazi's because they're a potentially violent threat, it follows that communism/marxist subreddits would also be banned.

Governments of communist countries have killed millions, not communism itself. Communism is a political theory designed to try and support the common good and break a cycle of oppression and revolt. Hasn't worked in practice, probably won't, but it's certainly not a hate doctrine like Nazism.

Glorification of the USSR would be more complicated, and could be perceived as endorsing violence.

"Individuals of Nazi ideologies have killed millions, not naziism itself."

If we're banning one -ism because it's considered violent/hateful, we need to ban all of the -isms that are more hateful/violent.

The primary element of Nazism is violent racism. This is somewhat unique among political ideologies and makes these comparisons poor. If you ask a communist to describe their utopia, it almost certainly doesn't include millions of people being executed by the state. But ask a Nazi and it will.

Have you met any tankies.

They do advocate for millions of class enemies to be killed.

Personally I feel, and I know many people disagree, that parallels between today and '30s are overrated.

While history can rhythm, the modern left and right have mythologized that period to the point it is unrecognizable.

People don't actually read books on WWII.

Because Marxist Communism is about everyone being equal.

... and anyone who doesn't agree with Communism's version of that is an evil person who is promoting the exploitation of the downtrodden, and therefore inevitably will be violently opposed.

That is, though Marxist Communism talks about everyone being equal, it also talks about violence to those who disagree. And in practice, the violence has shown up more reliably than the equality has.

Equally oppressed under a government regime.

>>Communism has killed more than Nazi's

Only because the USA decided to enter WW2 and helped defeat Germany. If the Nazis had won you would be looking at greatly elevated body count numbers today. After all Hitler viewed Aryans as the master race and all other races inferior, and the extermination of the Jews was simply the beginning of his grand plan.

Stop treating all student loans as equal. A loan to study humanities should have a higher interest rate than a loan to study mechanical engineering or become a doctor.

Charge rates based on the expected future cash flows, taking into account unemployment rates by degree, and kids will sort themselves out by choosing a field of study in-line with their risk appetite.

~1600 students participated in the vote, but on wikipedia the school has 10k postgrads. How does this work?

They limited who could vote to mostly those who support the idea (source: a PhD there). I posted details a comment above

Thanks for the reply - I appreciate the information. I read your other comment and it shed some light.

That needs a more substantive cite.

I hope voter IDs become mandatory in the near future, but it's got to be rolled out ethically:

1. They have to be free 2. They have to be "accessible" for the rural population 3. They have to be adequately communicated in advance of elections (1+ years, not 1+ months) 4. The process needs to be simple - require proof of citizenship or an ID that requires proof of citizenship.

I think there'd be no problem with having a few people stationed in post offices to do this. I'd imagine a fair amount of supporters would volunteer to do it if it meant improving the integrity of our elections.
