Fucking dork

.world shitlibs really do think they should be able to behave as badly as possible without ever being subject to any rules

“actual facts don’t matter because I have declared that they both ‘suck’”

Unfortunately for you, your moderation history is public

"During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them.

If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum."

Go back to Reddit you insufferable fucking dork

It was more “you lose credibility when you make a grotesque thesis statement

Aka something you disagree with.

, both in substance and on the form”.

What the fuck does that even mean? You’re just trying to sound smart now.

The form is sufficiently obvious I suppose

In that they disagree with you, yes.

On the merits of the existence of authoritarianism, dismissing the work of someone like Adorno - just like that - is genuinely hilarious.

So they disagree with you

I guess that’s your method of coping with truth.

Go back to Reddit you insufferable fucking dork.

I wish you Reddit losers would actually learn what an ad hominem is before you spew it everywhere.

“You lose credibility when you make a thesis statement I don’t already agree with!”

Which goes to show that “authoritarian” is just a vague, vibes based signifier with no useful purpose.

Not president Xi?

You have wildly missed the point.

Yeah, that’s the problem with America, people aren’t selfish enough…

the cultural revolution

Lol. Can’t even keep your anti communist talking points straight

I don’t need to have the same mindless thought terminating cliche parroted at me constantly, but you people do it anyway

That’s crazy, everyone I talk to that comes from the USSR says it was great and far better than capitalism.

You do know, that two things can be bad at the same time?

They said the line!

Yes

Clearly they do more than you do, given they’re were aware of Biden’s crimes that you weren’t. Also, you can’t understand how people believe that because you can’t imagine thinking of Palestinians as human
