Yes, being crushed by the weight of your own poor arguments, comprehension, and philosophy is probably quite an accurate way to describe arguing against a communist.
Watch out, you’re going to be banned for espousing incorrect doctrine.
Ironic that you’re using the comic about using bad faith debates in order to shut down this thread complaining about bad faith debates on ML.
Ever heard of horseshoe theory?
That repeatedly disproven line of horseshit? Yeah I’ve heard of it. Wasn’t impressed.
Horseshoe theory is debunked nonsense, using it like a trump card in an argument is hilarious.
Read Blackshirts and Reds, by the way.
What’s a “tankie,” in your eyes, and how are they meaningfully distinct from Communists? Marxists defend AES, can acknowledge the failures and struggles of AES while praising the myriad successes as well, it’s liberals that always refuse to have a nuanced take on AES.
Secondly, there is no such thing as a “balance of both” Capitalism and Socialism. Either the Proletariat is in charge or the Bourgeoisie are in charge, and as such there will never be a balance.
Ohh, fine then. From your opinion i concluded all communist is just a bunch of extremist like you i guess, because no nuance allowed. It’s all black and white.
The famously unnuanced discipline that is dialectical materialism 😂
Gotcha, so the anti-Deng ultraleft Maoists who denounce the modern PRC are the “tankies.” You’ll be happy to know that they are a fringe view among modern Marxists, especially fringe on Lemmy.
Also, ban evasion, misogyny, and homophobia all in one comment? Is that a bingo?
One must find the anti-communist happy in their prison/punishment for being despotic, because they continue to repeat the same hypothetical thing everytime?
You can argue with communists, you can’t argue with fanboys or those who accepted Marx as the one and true Messiah and tell you to read ze book instead of providing any points. But that’s applicable to pretty much every topic (oop bad, for example).
I’m happy to hear this coming from someone on ml. At least some of you still possess the ability to reason.
Sorry to disappoint, but I’m not exactly into Marxism-Leninism, I’m more of an anarchist myself (the idea of dictatorship, be it of a working class or anyone else, doesn’t sit right with me). And ml was chosen at the time just due to it being hosted by the Lemmy devs
The Dictatorship of the Proletariat isn’t a literal dictatorship, but an establishment of Proletarian supremacy over Capital. It’s still democratic.
The dictatorship of the proletarist refers to the reversal of class dynamics in which the working class becomes the ruling class of a country and by necessity oppresses the owner class (e.g. expropriation of factories). It is not literal dictators.
Lemmy was created by communists and the ml instance is administered by them.
