@joshuareed6894 Stop trying to argue with RT McLean. You will never have an ideologue admit they are logically incorrect. Ever. It's like screaming at a wall.

When something is purposely ignored, it's not "forgotten". You have to know it's something is before you can forget it.

I'm in construction and was just in a high school classroom, an economics classroom of all things, and it was absolutely filled with far left ideas in posters on the walls and I was horrified to see proof of all of these bogeyman stories I've been hearing online from libertarians and the centre right and far right. They were bang on correct.

@andrewyp6724 Yup. It's amazing how so many of the "I left the left" types say they didn't actually leave the left, the left left them. Some were sick of it all and went full libertarian (like Dave Rubin)

The 20th century learned nothing from the 20th century. The second world war was only 20 years after the first world war which was supposed to be "the war to end all wars".

@thenonexistinghero Fair enough.

"Communism is a society in which the exploitation of man by man is impossible " In communism you do not have the freedom to do what you want for yourself. You are forced to do things for the benefit of others. Right or wrong, that's exploitation. Other people forcing you to do things to benefit them is exploitation. Is the literal definition, in fact. And of course communism isn't the inevitable future of humanity. Stop being so obtuse. No one has even come close to doing it because it's not possible. How this cannot get through peoples thick skulls is beyond me. No amount of evidence will sway them. If communism is so great and benefits everyone, why has it never even come close to being implemented? Because it goes completely against human nature and even the most basic forms of logic and reason. With even a modicum of scrutiny at falls apart almost immediately, the ideology I mean.

@grimyc73 I've read the manifesto and it's unbelievably vague except for the part where it says violence is acceptable to achieve those goals. Then you have to ask: who defines what "from each according to his ability, to each according to his work." really means, and who decides in the real world? Whomever decides is in power and the whole thing implodes. Same as it always has, same as it always will. Human nature is undefeated.
