what i meant, comrade, was that your argument for a sacrificial purification of a national community puts you in a very dubious political tradition. what i meant, comrade, was that i thought making this argument was peculiar given that you've mentioned quite a few times your cp affiliation: so i concluded that either (a) you had just read some rené girard and were infatuated with the idea of sacrifice or (b) that you really had not thought out what you were saying.
i still don't have any idea.
frankly, it doesn't matter to me: i don't see anything remotely like a coherent series of steps leading from the anecdotal to the system level. basically, it looks to me like you are aghast at the story you found--which is reasonable--and think that this particular person probably deserves the death penalty--aren't really comfortable with that, so you floated the thread.
and if you really thought that the point of my post above was supporting the death penalty in this particular case meant that next you would invade poland--i dont know what to say. i am amazed.
