Origins and Definitions
Both socialism and communism flower in the manure of conflict and strife. To one degree or another, both originate in the smoldering--if often unspoken--antagonism among peoples, and each sees itself as the protagonist in the maturation of human economics requiring the destruction of the current corrupt system run by an actively hostile opponent.
The playbook for these conflicts is written down and distributed. Many are revered and taught in universities. The generalities are that a group--or groups--of people, knowingly or not, are selfishly strangling most of the population and must be overthrown and destroyed--in Marxist thought, deracinated--and replaced by the next phase embodied by a more pure, worthy, and inevitable group. The animosity between these groups--whether understood by the antagonists or not--must be taught to the protagonists and brought to a boil to destroy the other group.
So one group is generalized, hated, and, if history is any indicator, hunted down and killed--every man, woman, and child representative of the enemy class-- and replaced.
So why, looking at history and the self-declarations of these groups, isn't socialism a Hate Crime?
