Yes, that is it. As Gar suggested Lou is declared the semi-looser, since the Stalin law has not yet been made official. What would Hitler say? On Tue, Aug 13, 2002 at 10:53:55AM -0400, ravi wrote: goodwin's law? --- http://members.tripod.com/~goodwin_2/law.html

I don't see how inaccurate criticism (if that's what Rappaport did) of FARC has anything to do with Stalin or Stalinophobia. FARC isn't Stalinist or Stalinophilic, is it? Of course it has something to do with hatred of Stalin. The FARC leaders are all veteran Stalinists, but they never set

I think one can offer a definition of stalinophobia (and though I've never heard the term used, of stalinophilia also). Both consist of the assumption that labelling a political position Stalinist eliminates the need for further thought. To avoid both it is also important not even to accept
