So for those of us following along at home, you know a guy who believes a thing, therefore you have applied that belief to all people who proclaim to believe a different thing?
Exactly! Just because I’m reading volume 27 of “Sheep Fornicators Extreme - Global Takeover!” doesn’t mean I’m into sex with sheep, I just appreciate the skill it takes to draw it so well.
Oh trust me, thus person is very real. My conversations were so frustrating, he was so entrenched in his dogma it was like talking to a religious person.
I was in SDS in college, and I did a fair bit of activism over the last decade. I met more self described communists than I would have liked. I’m sorry your fellow comrades gave me a bad impression of your religion
And his friends. And the people in the Marxist Leninist instances here.
Also, another really smart dude I talk to regularlu, he says he would consider himself a Marxists. Probably not a Tankie, but still says stupid shit saying that the war un Ukraine is the US fault and its a result of NATO expansionist. Which is wrong for so many reasons. And his grandma was a communist China apologist.
Communism is stupid, and the people that follow it are dogmatic and have no pragmatic basis for their “theory” other than their feelings. If it offends go cry about it.
Or apparently not replying at all, in this case. My favorite is the Jordan Peterson response, though: “I had over 6 months to prepare for a debate on this topic after decades of claiming to be an expert and showed up to admit I could only be bothered to read his manifesto”

Working backwards, I’m not offended, rather amused.
Why did you put theory in quotes? Why and how is the theory stupid? Please give me direct critiques of Marx/Engels work, that aren’t copied/pasted (I’m rusty af so we’re probably starting from the same point).
Communist China apologist? What kinds of things, for example?
How didn’t NATO expansionism continue to, if not cause, the way in Ukraine? Bonus points if you can find msm articles that no one remembers talking about the alarming spread of communism, in Ukraine, before the war started.

As is the way.
I’m not even sure he knew a guy. A lot of people see someone reading something and assume all kinds of wild things.

That series gets wild with volume 32 “Sheep Fornicators Extreme - Mars Meltdown” I haven’t been able to put it down

And you chose to believe that was every single communist… I guess that does say a lot.

I don’t agree with it so it must not be true lol damn like evangelical christians
Have you read anything by Marx?
The answer is usually “I don’t need to.”

Which reasons are most prominent and why?
