Genuinely, what on Earth are you trying to say here? The other user was trying to say that the Soviets weren't "true Communists," which is wrong. It displays an utter lack of understanding what Socialism and Communism even are in the first place. Why speak so confidently on something they don't know about?
Are you trying to say that the Soviets didn't exist or something?
"Read theory" means "learn what the words you are using actually mean so you can analyze historical events, movements, and structures accurately."
Don't be allergic to reading.
Lmao.
Whatever you say armchair communist
You should read sometime too, you might learn something.
ThE tHeOrY, right? Lmao
Anything at this point. Theory would be nice, but even some good fiction like Piranesi would do you well.
Genuinely answer me this: if someone says something wrong, and they adamantly stick to their position in the face of evidence, and you know that reading a few pamphlets and maybe a book or two would help with clearing up this confusion, what do you recommend they do?
And what on Earth is an "imaginary government?"
