    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?

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

          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.

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

              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.
