all you've shown is that you lack reading comprehension.
no one needs your approval or vetting, and you don't define what a Leftist, Communist or Socialist is.
yes, i'm "biased" against authoritarian despots.
it's not a lazy ad-hominem, it's exactly what you are. you love despots that gulag ppl. you love that shit. just say it. Stalin, Mao, Kim dynasty, you love them.
The one who lacks reading comprehension is you. No one needs your approval or vetting. I am simply stating that if the broad majority of communists globally agree with me, then the specific issues you take with me that also apply to the broad majority of communists go hand in hand as you being anti-communist. It isn't about definition, nor do I claim a higher authority, I claim that my views are very standard for communists and as such calling me a pejorative for communist makes you to an extent anti-communist.
It is lazy ad-hominem. You're directly trying to undermine my points by attacking my character. That's what you came here to do, attack my character to prevent people from responding. It's childish, and now that it evidently isn't working, you're trying to get in a few quick jabs on your way out.
it already worked. you are what you are. you show it every time you are pushed.
you love despots that gulag ppl. you love that shit. just say it. Stalin, Mao, Kim dynasty, you love them.
The US literally has a higher incarceration rate than China or than USSR did under Stalin, but do go on. Really highlighting the quality of your intellect here.
thanks, we're not talking about that right now. also, don't let cowbee see your ad hominem, he really hates that.
No we are literally talking about that right now because you're braying about gulags here. Also, learn what ad hominem is if you're going to use it. Ad hominem would be me saying your argument is wrong because you're an imbecile. I'm addressing your argument directly on its own merits while highlighting the fact that you are in fact an imbecile. It's perhaps too subtle a difference for you to grasp given the limitations.
no, literally not relevant to this conversation since they're not political prisoners.
muting you now since you have no idea what you're talking about.
It's absolutely adorable that somebody could be so utterly ignorant as to think that the west doesn't hold political prisoners.
