I'm not a debate pervert. I've made my point clearly here already. I don't need to convince you of anything. The fact that you use Trump and Stalin in the same sentence shows profound ignorance on your part. There is no point attempting to have a discussion with people who have strong opinions on subjects they have no understanding of. I'll leave you with what the CIA had to say on the subject. I would hope you'd use this as an opportunity to educate yourself, but I know that you will not.

The difference is that we don’t celebrate it or make excuses for it.

Except you do constantly make excuses for it, as you brilliantly demonstrated here. You want to pretend that you support more freedoms than communists, but in practice you just champion your own set of capitalist values.

The difference is that communists accept the need for censorship and are open about why some ideas need to be suppressed. However, liberals hypocritically claim to stand for free speech and claim this is the key differentiating factor between liberal democracies and socialist systems, but only tolerate speech that they deem acceptable.

Funny how freeze peach sublimates directly into censorship vapor the moment liberals lose their cultural hegemony.

The most frustrating aspect is the utter inability to do any sort of self reflection and self criticism whenever faced with being wrong about something. It's impossible for people to correct their understanding when they're not even capable of acknowledging problems.

This whole notion that Trump is an aberration and the EU can just wait him out is deeply infantile. Trump was elected because of the structural decline in the material conditions. Whoever replaces Trump will be a product to the same conditions that led to Trump being elected. The world has changed, and there's no going back now.

yeah these shapes are abstract enough that you can project whatever you want onto them

Exactly, how can anybody reasonably ask for any more evidence than that.
