You expect serious analysis from someone posting that comment in a communism community?
No, I expect deeply unserious analysis, I just like trying to lead these people to theory. Doesn't work all the time, obviously, but it does work sometimes.
All I see is you being toxic. You're not leading people anywhere. People will want to stay away from your way of thinking because of all the hatred in your tone. Dial it down a bit if you want to have any impact.
Where is the hatred? I was just asking for the base reasoning for their assertions, as they were unsupported.
People should be able to enumerate the benefits of their preferred form of governance. They should also be able to be honest about its weaknesses and have a discussion about past failures.
I think Socialists should be like really good sales people, not just trying to get a quick sale, but trying to convert you to a lifelong happy customer. Provide the talking points and let people decide for themselves.
Sure. It’s also worthwhile to recognize trolls and not reward their bad-faith posting by interacting with them.
