It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

so let's recap: you said that abuses took place under communism, implying that therefore we cannot ascribe the violence of labor under capitalism to capitalism, or imagine that anything could be otherwise. this is already a nonsequitur, but then the explicit example you provided was shown to be highly spurious, so now you've resorted to just begging the question. do you have anything else to contribute to the discussion here or are you just twiddling your thumbs?
Acktually ....
My final point would be this: whether its capitalism, communism, or some other mishmash, if humans are involved and are building the system, someone is gonna get the short end of the stick.
The problem isn't the -isms, it's people.
That is about the most absurd claims I have heard in a long, long time.
Does expose that you see other humans as problems instead of as humans.
That quote about how under capitalism, you begin to see other people as obstacles to your freedom
Great quote, who is it from?
Your final point? So far you've made none, and you've failed to engage with people responding to your argument in good faith. This "point" of yours you've already made before, but you've failed to engage with the people responding to it.
Are you always such a little pissbaby?
Do better, educate yourself
Yes. You worked it out. Well done.
So when I wrote "this is my final point", that didn't count as a final point? Wow, I didn't know that it didn't work that way. Thank you for correcting me.
Yes because things don't just become something because you say it. For you to have a final point, you need to make a point. You failed to do so. Hope this helps!
You're welcome! Glad to see you're developing some humility. This is the first step towards not being a dickhead :)
