Ok stay ignorant
Comrade, I think you have confused me for an enemy. MLs have a pretty decent argument that a transitional state is necessary to achieve communism. I understand all of that, and I've read more than my fair share of theory over the years.
Just because someone disagrees with you, it does not mean that they are stupid, not reading, ignorant, etc. That is an extremely reactionary approach to criticism which prevents you from ever having to have your viewpoints truly challenged.
I'm willing to be less antagonist in my responses, but yours make it very difficult to do so.
I don't like wasting my energy on confidently wrong libs that misrepresent what is trying to be said in this community. When you misrepresent and think what is being said is:
Then I seriously doubt:
Maybe another comrade is more patient. I'll see myself out
You are relentlessly behaving in a very chauvinistic and reactionary way. I don't need to agree with every word Engels wrote to be a communist. Marx, Engels, et al. aren't prophets sharing mystical secrets from on high. They were intelligent and visionary but ultimately flawed humans capable of mistakes. You should not treat theory as your bible.
No U
No of course you don't have to. At least have the decency to not misrepresent it.
You should not view yourself as the next coming of Christ that is here to be a prophet on how to achieve a state and classless society when you haven't done your homework but still would like to talk to those that have
I've tried my best to be nice and try to communicate with you through the slew of insults you just keep hurling, but I have a limit. At the end of the day, you're acting like nothing but a bully.
Solidarity forever.
I can tell you're not as communist as you like to think because this is how you react to having your uninformed political notions criticized. You would never survive a regular organizing discussion on hexbear.
Yes, politely replying repeatedly while getting called a lib and being told I didn't read some text I clearly read and just being browbeat again and again is truly the pinnacle of political critique and leads to some very insightful debates. Give me a fucking break.
You know other people can read your comments too, right? If this is what you consider polite then you should probably reevaluate.
Bruh we can all see you were an asshole the whole time lol
No, you're an asshole because you're being smug, rude and passive aggressive.
And the people who I was replying to, doesn't that make them assholes, too? They were more smug, more rude, more aggressive than I was, by far. Does your criticism apply to them, also, or only to the one person you disagree with?
Your first comment in the thread was already smug and passive aggressive. LMAO
