But they still get butthurt when you compare them to fascists, because they don’t understand the difference between ideology and methodology.
Like, I could make that distinction crystal clear in my critique and yet they’ll still go “But mah communism! It’s a dictatorship of the proletariat, dumbass! Read more theory!” And then proceed to call me “blue fash” while trying to equate horseshoe theory to both-sides-ism 🙄
I just tell them that the only reason they aren’t raging capitalists is that they haven’t read enough Milton Friedman or Adam Smith. Read more theory! Not that way! (No, I’m not a believer in the Chicago School of economics.)
I like to quote Marx to them without attribution just to watch it go right over their heads while they call me a “fascist shitlib”
