Also, to add as an agreement/slight counter point, I find a lot more of the users here that I would believe as actually educated and insightful about political topics like communism then most other sites, which is a nice change.
It also allows for people to be mind blowing assholes to others, which totally ruins any credibility whatsoever, which i guess ultimately adds to your original statement.
You are finding a lot of Marxists who are educated in Marxism but not necessarily modern communist/socialist thought as sadly many of the Marxists I see are the anti-scientific types that search for proof of their conclusions.
