You should stop getting your evaluations on alternatives to capitalism from the capitalists and their countries

There is a reason I reply to lemmygrad and hexbear people, and follow some of the communities. Sometimes I get interesting responses. Not your response, but sometimes.

There is no need to be passive-aggressive

No, but you didn't need to engage in circle-jerking with your friends either. You are capable of more, and I look forward to reading your future contributions.

If I did something worth reading about, you'd condemn it just like you do all the other socialist projects, so don't get your hopes up.

Me? I'm pretty open minded, while trying to apply critical thinking. Make a good argument, and I'll digest it. You seem to be jumping to conclusions, which may hurt your cause (edit: your ability to convince others, to the detriment of your cause)

Could you give me a slightly more specific prompt?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What on earth do you mean by that? Was it intended to disrupt the conversation with nonsense, or is there some meaning that you can explain?

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You asked me to give you an argument. What sort of argument are you asking for? What conclusion am I supposed to be asserting?

If you don't have something useful or interesting to add, there is another option....
