Why don't you just let the Invisible Hand of the Market roll the boulder uphill?

9You 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).
18I'm happy to hear this coming from someone on ml. At least some of you still possess the ability to reason.
2Yeah I got a pretty nauseating explanation of "The June 4th Incident"

Can someone ban this homophobe already?
10They have been, they just make alts.

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.
24Are you doing that on Lemmy? In what communities?
11Unfortunately on this community

The authoritarian left and the liberal left have so little in common that it's frustrating the term "left" encompasses both.
10The "authoritarian" left is just the framework of every revolution that actually won. There is a very special kind of Western detached romantic chauvinist "left" that believes only in failed and failing pure leftism and tragedy and is shocked and outraged at what it means to win, to establish defenses, to keep a nation or nations running.
There is no liberal left. Liberals are the mainstream political and are by definition conservative under global capitalism.
7Depends a lot on where you live. In many countries, communism is simply considered "radical/violent" rather than "authoritarian", and one is not considered a leftist of any sort unless they defend a leftist stance on the economy (progressive views on social issues may not be described as leftist everywhere).
7And the authoritarians try to reconcile this issue by saying we liberals are actually on the right. How wonderful!
-1There is a difference.
A lot of people who claim to be liberal, just aren't left wing. The good example is the FDP party in Germany.
To quote Wikipedia: The FDP's political position has variously been described as centrist, centre-right, and right-wing. The FDP has been described as liberal, conservative-liberal, classical-liberal, and liberal-conservative. Other sources have described the party as libertarian or right-libertarian.
There are left wing liberals, but don't act like they usually call themselves liberal.
4It's a simple fact.

One must find the anti-communist happy in their prison/punishment for being despotic, because they continue to repeat the same hypothetical thing everytime?
12"No matter how hard I try I cannot defeat the immortal science of Marxism Leninism!"
10Nah, it's not really a communist issue. It's tankie, the one that faithful to that few authoritarian country like a little lap dog they are, regardless of nuance. They only see one side having issue but refuse to see why socialism didn't work all the time. It's always capitalism bad socialism good, never a balance of both.
-2What'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.
