So, no answer then, just a personal attack?
He was attacking your argument, not you. Sheesh, grow some thicker skin. (See the difference?)

A "fantasy" originates from a "fantasizer", and there was nothing of substance that addressed my argument.
Funny - when someone uses the term "SJW", I see it as a big red flag that someone on the right has sought out something progressive to get offended about and whine about.
You may be a marvelous and deeply wise person for all I know.
The question, however, was utter garbage and deserves to be treated as such.
It is up to you to decide how representative of your discourse it is or fails to be.
You think that anyone who forcefully opposes Nazis is a communist? Really?
You don't have any grandparents who fought in WWII, do you?
Gandhi, Mandela, MLK etc.Go.
A good modern example
Kailash Satyarthi - Wikipedia
Kailash Satyarthi (born 'Kailash Sharma'; 11 January 1954)[7] is an Indian children's rights and education advocate and an activist against child labour.[6][8] He founded the Bachpan Bachao Andolan (lit. Save the Childhood Movement) in 1980 and has acted to protect the rights of more than 83,000 children from 144 countries.[9][10] It is largely because of Satyarthi's work and activism that the International Labour Organization adopted Convention No. 182 on the worst forms of child labour, which is now a principal guideline for governments around the world.[8]His work is recognized through various national and international honours and awards including the Nobel Peace Prize of 2014,

Anna Hazare - Wikipedia
Kisan Baburao "Anna" Hazare (
pronunciation (help·info),
pronunciation (help·info); born 15 June 1937) is an Indian social activist who led movements to promote rural development, increase government transparency, and investigate and punish corruption in public life. In addition to organising and encouraging grassroots movements, Hazare frequently conducted hunger strikes to further his causes—a tactic reminiscent, to many, of the work of Mohandas K. Gandhi.[1][2]Hazare also contributed to the development and structuring of Ralegan Siddhi, a village in Parner taluka of Ahmednagar district, Maharashtra, India. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan—the third-highest civilian award—by the Government of India in 1992 for his efforts in establishing this village as a model for others.[3]Hazare started a hunger strike on 5 April 2011 to exert pressure on the Indian government to enact a stringent anti-corruption law, The Lokpal Bill, 2011 as envisaged in the Jan Lokpal Bill, for the institution of an ombudsman with the power to deal with corruption in public places. The fast led to nationwide protests in support. The fast ended on 9 April 2011, a day after the government accepted Hazare's demands. The government issued a gazette notification on the formation of a joint committee, consisting of government and civil society representatives, to draft the legislation.[4][5]
Ultimatum
Classical Liberal
"The right". Why do people insist on using such useless labels? Please make the distinction between social and economic right. I don't want to be lumped in with Trumpets.
Go on.

Yes, as I understand it, Communists = far left, Nazi = far right.
Anarchists are far left too, plenty of them aren't communists. Are socialists far left? I'm not sure.
Also, obviously, Nazism doesn't define the far right either.
So if I'm economically liberal (support welfare etc.) but socially right (anti gay marriage, anti-abortion etc.) what am I like...a...national communist?
Gandhi, Mandela, MLK etc.

But you are talking about legitimate issues here. Not the destroying of property by criminals calling themselves sjw's we seen after the election here in the states.

No, the words don't cover every instance.
Social Justice Warrior, noun, (abbreviation: SJW)
A term of abuse originating from the early 2010's on Twitter out of the gamer gate controversy used to refer to persons whose capacity for moral outrage gains publicity by calling for minor rebranding exercises of global capitalism in order to accommodate minority groups to lives of exploitation and oppression though "identity politics" whilst posing little or no threat to the system.
Often used by right wing extremists who feel oppressed by taxes and regulation, easily offended by facts that do not conform to their libertarian/conservative worldview, live in online safe spaces to proliferate fake news, conspiracy theories and junk science, whilst triggered by words like "socialism" as threats of imminent totalitarian apocalypse and insist on standards of politically correctness based on what its perceived as a threat to freedom, democracy and their way of life particularly in relation to immigrantion as a source of cultural and/or racial impurity and terrorism.
