I already knew you were saying that. You're wrong. If you want to talk about communism, you should investigate it first because you don't know what you're talking about
Such a missed opportunity. You could have used the chance to persuade me but instead decided to go ad hominem and make it personal.
No investigation, no right to speak. Do some self-crit + reading or shut the fuck up.
Nah. This is a circle jerk. I say a thing and then the reactionaries descend to tell me that I’m wrong. Yet nobody has anything to offer beyond “you’re stupid”.
A group of better educated people are telling me I’m wrong, clearly they are just reactionaries.
What a beautiful mind you possess.
>I'll rephrase: each time it has been attempted it wasn't really a communist revolution, but rather a group responsible for regime change using the term as they appoint a new elite.
I'll rephrase: each time it has been attempted it wasn't really a banning, but rather a group responsible for userbase change using the term as they appoint a new banned user.
What are you doing to educate me? What have I learned here other than that a difference in thought offends you?
I’m not trying to, the only thing that can make a person learn is if they actually want to. No point in leading a horse to water.
In the mean time I’ll have some fun.
The fun for you really is the ability to tell others they are wrong. Then you’re not willing to help others learn things you think should. You must be great at parties.
I’m out.
byyeeeeeee
Oh, you must have missed my comment then. Here you go:
If they just wanted power, they could have easily joined the very powerful repressive governments that ruled at the time. Castro could have signed on with Batista's regime. Mao could have joined the ruling KMT. Instead, they risked their lives doing the much harder and more dangerous work of going against the US empire and it's puppet states.
Its interesting how they always seem to miss a comment that is providing what they claim to want. Hmmmmmm
“You just don’t know what you’re talking about…”
That’s the part that makes it personal. Notable that you’ve still offered nothing in the way of your perceived correction. It stops at “you’re wrong” as if that were how conversations operate. If you believe I’m wrong, why not try to convince me?
That's not a personal attack. A personal attack would be saying your a dumb reddit-brained smuglord. And an ad hominem would be saying you're wrong because youre a dumb reddit-brained smuglord.
I didnt stop at saying your wrong. I said you should investigate the people and revolutions you're talking about, because if you did investigate you would know you're wrong. That's why i said you don't know what you're talking about, because no one could have actually read about the 1917 revolution, the Chinese Revolution, or the Cuban revolution and think that they are not communist revolutions, or just "dressed up in the clothes of communism"
If you believe you're right, why aren't you trying to convincing me?![emoji michael-laugh michael-laugh](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/3858ea0f-f09c-4c6f-95a1-5dda154612ad.png)
You're the one who made an assertion that is obvioulsy untrue to anyone who knows about those subjects. You made these obviously false assertions without any evidence whatsoever, but somehow the burden of proof for what you said is on me.
Shapiro voice: You replied with a picture. That's not how conversations work. If you believe you are right, why not try to convince me instead?
