To call any political movement anything certain is like calling someone who believes in the Bible an Amish? Every political group has members and philosophies going from extreme liberal to Fascist, Including the Hari Krishna group. We need to be identified by whatare our core values and basic core values that support the common man can be found in every political spectrum and we who have these values have to be open to accept people from every political group who hold these values, The name they put on their header is just a name. What is in a person's heart is what we are looking for? is this not true. Any political group has anti fascists and anti war and anti tyrannical government people.
I’m not clear on what you’re referring to—I’m guessing you’re objecting to Dalrymple’s characterization of communism? If so, there is a distinction between an ideology and its followers; yes, its adherents may possess a range of beliefs within certain parameters, but the ideology of communism is very clearly articulated by Marx, Engels, and its practitioners (Lenin, Trotsky, et al), so it is perfectly reasonable to judge that ideology by its articulated principles and practices.
That said, I agree with your statement that core values are what truly matter, whereas political tribes are used to divide us, so I’m all for jettisoning those superficial distinctions and uniting over core values like pro-freedom/anti-tyranny.
