What's wrong with these statements?

Genuinely don't know what you're talking about.

This is exactly what happened, how it happened. The idiot I was arguing with kept going back and forth in his arguing, in some comments he would say there is a state in communism, then two comments later he said communism has no state. So yes, the person I was talking to was an idiot, not uncommon (hello my username.)

If this blurb offends you, maybe I was wrong about the conservatives calling us snowflakes.

I'm not who you responded to, but they have a good point. The difference being who is favored and who is not. In fascism there are in groups and out groups. The real life forms we have today of communism follow that same rule. I think the distinction is who is being targeted. Try to speak out against the Russian government in Russia, it won't go well. The same thing would certainly happen in a fascist state. Pointing out the small differences between the two is akin to making the distinction between a pedophile and a hebephile. They are both authoritarian in nature.

This doesn't really answer any of my questions, only raises more. Unless of course he is making the point that an authoritarian government is the "saving up for the house" but it's clear with his next statements in the interview, that's not the case.

Well this was kinda my opinion going in, so I wanted a different perspective lol.

I see. So there is supposed to be an authoritarian state in the transitionary period, is what you are saying?

Interesting, I was under the impression the real life forms had just failed; one group got into power and just said "naw" and then stayed in that authoritarian 'state.'

That doesn't answer my question unfortunately. In fact kinda muddies the water. Wikipedia says that it strives to be stateless, but how does that contend with the real life versions of communism that most certainly have a state?

Well no to be more accurate, the op was full of shit and couldn't back it up when asked, thus what they said can be ignored. Like if we were in my lab, I would make you do laps for even bringing it up.

 

Can anyone succinctly explain communism? Everything I've read in the past said that the state owns the means of production and in practice (in real life) that seems to be the reality. However I encountered a random idiot on the Internet that claimed in communism, there is no state and it is a stateless society. I immediately rejected this idea because it was counter to what I knew about communism irl. In searching using these keywords, I came across the ideas that in communism, it does strive to be a stateless society. So which one is it? If it's supposed to be a stateless society, why are all real-life forms of communism authoritarian in nature?

That's not how it works tho. If you make a claim, the responsibilities of evidence are on the person who made the claim.

Can't back it up? Then it's bullshit.

This is day 1 scientific method stuff, bud, it's not about holding hands, it's about whether you actually have any repeatable data to backup your claims. If you don't, you probably shouldn't be saying it as fact.

I absolutely reject the notion of food science being common knowledge. If you can't back up what you say with anything when asked, you are simply lying, full of shit, or haven't actually proved what you claimed.

Yes I know there are regional differences in how food is made that is my whole point. I'm saying there is difference in quality between the two countries, but that has no link to degradation of cornmeal which is what the op claimed, said "I did a study" and everyone just believed them when they quite literally cannot backup what they said.

How hard is it to keep your conjecture to yourself or just simply backup what you claimed?

The point of my comment was to call out the comment poster because it's obvious they were using their own conjecture and just saying "I did a study." Very common in this community because people just trust what other people say on face value. The fact they never followed up with anything at all means it was a bot or a dumbass just spouting off at the mouth about some bullshit. I appreciate you taking the time to find similar studies though, thank you.

I was not arguing anything except, "please show me where you read that" because I don't know about this subject. But if you make a claim about a subject, you should be able to back it up or you're lying.

I find it hard to buy that Mexican tortilla companies somehow buy only heirloom corn and American companies don't. We know exactly why the tortillas suck in the US and it's not cornmeal degradation ffs.

Highly recommend using cream installer or some other dlc grabber, I think it runs for like $500 if you buy all the dlc.

When you're at the beach or some body of water and the dirt, mud, or sand gets on your hands, you get out of the water and start to dry off. I despise the feeling when your hands dry out.
