Nice baseless ad hominems, thanks!

You have no idea what I have read, or what work I have done. I am in fact a communist. One who knows what the word solidarity means and therefore calls out when other leftists are being ridiculed by MLs. You are creating division within a leftist space and yet claim I’m the one “spewing anti-communist and capitalist apologetic propaganda”.

You operate from your indoctrination and from that conclude that everyone who disagrees with you is indoctrinated.

I think you should read that part of your comment over again a few times. Mull it over.

Combine it with these parts:

every anemic talking point you’ve raised has been endlessly researched for decades and shown to be distortions

You will continue to engage in these sorts of debates where the only thing you can do is intone “it is known”

Successful?.. Again, where’s the communism?

Demolished ruling class power?.. Demolished the current ruling class perhaps, but only to replace it with another.

“When the people are being beaten with a stick, they are not much happier if it is called the People’s Stick”

Your position is ridiculous, unexamined, ignorant, and internally inconsistent.

Now read your comment that I responded to again.

The position I provided was to mirror your own, to highlight the ridiculousness of it.

Perhaps you confused social democracy with democratic socialism, then you may have had a point.

Remind me, what communism did the supposed communists produce during their rule from 1922 to 1991?

The USSR was meant to be state socialism to transition to communism. If that movement never once in the history of its society every produced communism, it’s a stretch to call yourself a communist.
