Having supposed freedumbs is literally what y’all have been braying made the West different from Russia and China.

Old enough to remember how Europeans smugly thought that they lived in some sort of an enlightened and free society.

Oh yeah, not trying to suggest Marx isn’t worth reading.

I find that Engels in general is very much underappreciated. His writing is much easier to read than Marx in my opinion.

That said, some systems demonstrably work much better than others so we should be careful to avoid making false equivalences.

haha nice touch

oh nice thanks for finding the talk

no idea unfortunately, looks like a fun talk

🤡

The amount of brainpower people dedicate to try to deduce if an image has been AI generated nowadays is absolutely stunning to me.

exactly right

The point is that I, and many other people, have answered these questions many times. If you’re personally ignorant on the subject, then spend the time to educate yourself. You can start with the materials I’ve provided you. It’s not my job to educate you. I perfect having interactive discussion with people who understand the subject they’re discussing and want to have a discussion in good faith. It’s very transparent that you are not.

I’ll let you have the last word here which you so desperately need.

Bye.

I just love how you keep acting like these questions haven’t been answered time and again. As if you came up with some novel line of questioning nobody has ever thought before. Go read a book for once in your life. Here’s one you can start with. https://welshundergroundnetwork.cymru/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/blackshirts-and-reds-by-michael-parenti.pdf

And here’s how people who actually live in China characterize their modern government in one or two words. If you spent as much time educating yourself on the subjects you wish to debate instead of making a clown of yourself in public, you wouldn’t have to ask questions like this and em brass yourself.

You’re like a living embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

🙄

I’m not a debate pervert. I’ve made my point clearly here already. I don’t need to convince you of anything. The fact that you use Trump and Stalin in the same sentence shows profound ignorance on your part. There is no point attempting to have a discussion with people who have strong opinions on subjects they have no understanding of. I’ll leave you with what the CIA had to say on the subject. I would hope you’d use this as an opportunity to educate yourself, but I know that you will not.

The difference is that we don’t celebrate it or make excuses for it.

Except you do constantly make excuses for it, as you brilliantly demonstrated here. You want to pretend that you support more freedoms than communists, but in practice you just champion your own set of capitalist values.

The difference is that communists accept the need for censorship and are open about why some ideas need to be suppressed. However, liberals hypocritically claim to stand for free speech and claim this is the key differentiating factor between liberal democracies and socialist systems, but only tolerate speech that they deem acceptable.

Funny how freeze peach sublimates directly into censorship vapor the moment liberals lose their cultural hegemony.

The most frustrating aspect is the utter inability to do any sort of self reflection and self criticism whenever faced with being wrong about something. It’s impossible for people to correct their understanding when they’re not even capable of acknowledging problems.

Exactly, how can anybody reasonably ask for any more evidence than that.
