Wikiquette alert[edit]

I have added a notice here, regarding your conduct on Talk:Swedish Social Democratic Party. Erik Jesse 09:37, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Blanche Poubelle. I've responded to the alert posted by Erik Jesse, and I think you two are still very capable of working civilly to resolve the disputes you're having (and this isn't true of everyone I see on WP:WQA). I wonder, though, if you might be a little more careful about rereading your comments before you post them to ensure that they comply fully with WP:CIVIL; that way, you don't need to go back and modify them later, when there's the danger that somebody may have already taken offense to them.

A final note: I'm not blaming you for the dispute. If you read my comments on the alert, I've made some suggestions as to how Erik Jesse can modify his behaviour as well. Sarcasticidealist 10:51, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Where Have You Been?[edit]

BlanchePoubelle, where have you been? I enjoyed your contributions to the neoliberalism article. I have started to edit and contribute to it again, and wondered if you were interested in re-joining the fray? You were a good contributor. -jncohen 03:26, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh, the job market is brutal. Good luck. -jncohen (talk) 22:51, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great to have you back. How did the job market turn out? -jncohen (talk) 16:42, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:NPA. Don't accuse other Wikipedia editors of being fascists.Prezbo (talk) 19:05, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the wording to "right wing" to avoid unproductive user conflict, as I imagine is the broad intent of the Wikipedia injunction against the use of the term "fascist." However, I do not use the term "fascist" as an insult substitute for "asshole." I use it strictly to refer to a political position, eg. the political position of the men bonding over their righteous hatred for "commies" on the "Naxalite" Talk page. Right-wing adherents who vilify "commies" (among others) typically are fascists. A fascist is by definition, and based in history: a person who sanctions or promotes market-state totalitarianism (including inter alia scapegoating marginalized peoples) in order to mobilize right-wing populism to aggrandize and preserve capitalist relations, especially when and where capitalism is in crisis.

At this point and despite the economic crisis, I expect majority-liberal aspects of the Wikipedia community will argue that it is illegitimate to denote the systemic, anti-Enlightenment aspects of capitalism in using the term "fascist," because liberals prefer to restrict "fascism" to connote "assholedom" as based in the Western liberal reduction of fascism to an idiosyncratic feature of 1930s-1940s enemy Axis countries. Post-keynesians have not been ready to agree that capitalism has systematically-oppressive or dysfunctional tendencies. However, I expect that when conservatives sanction the historical, political-economic use of the term "fascism," as they did "imperialism" and "capitalism" in the first decade of the 21st century, then the historical, political-economic content of the term "fascist" will also be restored to mainstream usage. Of course, that will mean we're already in for a lot of heartache, and not because we finally recognize a pattern that has been there all along.

Disambiguation link notification for April 11[edit]

Hi. When you recently edited List of Community characters, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bete noir (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
