I'm genuinely curious - what do you think communism is? There's been a lot of definitions over the years and a lot of confusion over the subject, so I'm really interested to hear what do people such as yourself think communism really is that makes them hostile to the idea.
You're not genuinely curious. You are looking for the person's view point so you can dismiss, ridicule and rebuff it with some half assed bullshit commie revisionism propaganda.
That's what you lot do, you lie and take advantage of the disadvantaged. That is the REALITY of what Communism is. I don't give two shits about your 1st year political science student's view of Das Kapital.
It's had over 100 years to prove it doesn't lead to authoritarianism, brutality and oppression. And it has proved the opposite every fucking time.
It was a genuine question, but if I've struck a nerve with that somewhere, then I'm sorry.
Don't bullshit me. I know how you lot operate. I'm not interested in your playing possum in an attempt to appear to be the victim either.
Communist aren't interested in knowing the views of others. They are only interested in imposing their view of "socialist ideals" onto others.
Hey pal, stress is bad for the body. Can be as bad as chain smoking if you have chronic stress.
Lemmy is full of leftists, and that looks like a trigger for ya. Just be safe out there.
Also, grouping all communists together is exceptionally inacurate. Lots of variety in leftism. Obviously, if you are discussing politics with a leftist they'll likely want to discuss the merits of "socialist ideals" with you.
