This is about as garbage take as the ones being discussed.
Well, that's what they always tell me they believe, sorry your representatives are poor ones I suppose.
Yeah, you sound like you were really receptive to what they were trying to say, I'm sure you didn't colour it at all...
Oh well of course they give the option of just doing what they say and completely restructuring society to stay alive in most cases, but imo that doesn't count, I think they're really just using that as an excuse.
I hope this is doing something for your emotional needs but it's got nothing to do with anyone else. Have fun, chief.
I just can't align myself with ideologies like that, it is what it is. Don't worry, I usually have fun.
I'm not commenting on your misalignment with the ideology, but rather your intellectual dishonesty. You can't even think about "ideologies like that" without twisting your own mind up and telling yourself a bunch of lies to make yourself feel better.
I'm not saying communism is good or bad. I'm saying: you don't know because you are unable to examine it honestly and rationally.
Yeah, talk to a few people on hexbear or lemmygrad and tell me I'm being intellectually dishonest. People on lemmy call for the death of landlords constantly, go ahead and ask thrm to specify and see if one of them makes the distinction. They always say "she's perpetuating the capitalist system so she's not inocent, and private property and money won't exist after the revolution so she can forfeit her rental property or get killed, and she won't need the income because everything will be free since there is no money and you instead own the product of your labor. At least she gets to keep the house she lives in if she capitulates!" Every fucking time. I didn't make it up out of nowhere my dude, "I learned it from watching you."
