If everyone here is a communist, then again, which bystanders are you trying to convert? The rest of your comment is more dodging, and calling polls “cherry picked” even after proving that the data is actually towards the median sample size for high-confidence data. This is silly.
All of the readers who have popped by seem to be siding with me, that’s why I question your strategy here. Your arguments have fallen so flat they’ve legitimized me, if that’s not a strategic failure I’m not sure what is.
I’ve already got my stances all clear and out in the open, from my stances on the Soviet prison system to what “authoritarian” even means in practice. I’m a Marxist-Leninist, again my opinons are fairly standard for Marxist-Leninists. Again, who are you doing this for?
If it’s for yourself, then you would do well to engage more with the arguments, rather than dismiss them outright. The point of the dialectical method is to come to a higher understanding by engaging with opposition, not avoiding it.

i’m not trying to convert anyone. you are. which you do constantly.
but for any reader who pops by, and the OP where this began before i interrupted your usual spiel, to know right away what you are.

again, you’re being upped by the choir, mate. i wouldn’t puff my chest out about that.
but dude, the point is, get it all out clear in the open. that’s all.
you love the gulags and the authoritarians. just lead with that. i’d find it much more honest than what you do now.

this is coming up better in the other thread, so lets continue to focus there.
as for who i do this for, it’s always for the pursuit of and elucidation of truth, for myself and for any who may find it useful in their own lives.

Either way, I answered the other thread.
i would but i already don’t trust you from our last attempt at this. that needs to be addressed first.
I fail to understand how trying to come to a better understanding through opposed argument works if you reject making arguments, but you do you.
