The point you just made is so absurd, especially in light of what I have written, that I do not even what to dignify it with a response. However, I will say this. Anyone who looks at what I have said with an open mind, which is attempting to be objective, could not believe what you just said about me.
Wiggle! You have the audacity to accuse me of wiggling and obfuscating; when I am simply trying to defend Bertrand Russell against the scurrilous accusations made by a contributer to Conservapedia, while you try shift the focus away from this and make it about me, i.e. "sounds like Marxist reasoning."
What the hell does that mean anyway? Lets say, for instance, I was doing what you have accused me of doing, but with a non-Marxist government - that is I was engaged in the same tacit defense of said brutal government. Would you then accuse me of "Marxist reasoning?" Of course not, this accusation would not make any sense. For the method of reasoning and argumentation (unless I was making a teleological argument based on dialectical materialism - which I clearly am not) is not germane with respect to the type of government one is defending. The term Marxist/Communist is employed by individuals like yourself as a pejorative term that denotes the sinister and devious nature of the person they are leveling the charge against. Your attaching the label Marxist to me to attack my character, in order to undermine my argument. I am not a Marxist, nor was Russell. If that is not obvious from what I have already posted, then I can't help you.
