i guess it comes down to a philosophical question

no, it doesn’t, and it’s not a philosophical question (and neither is this a question of philosophy).

don’t be the annoying pedant; we’re fully capable of understanding that the “national socialist german workers’ party” was not a socialist party (and that a “nazi” is a pejorative and was from the start), that the phrase “marxist-leninist” is generally used to mean “left-authoritarian but want to pretend it isn’t”, that the “communist party of the soviet union” was actually presiding over a project of building an authoritarian state capitalism, and that the “republican” party in the united states is trying to make the united states a theocratic dictatorship.

i would think that for habryka “actual racism” means something like open calls to genocide, not, you know, actual racism.

him referring to lysenkoism in this context is extra weird; the scientific racists and lysenko are but another facets of the antiscientific ignorance
