    Yeah, I’m not trying to vomit a bunch of falsehoods at folks to try to make a point by point argument. I don’t think I need to write a book to make a point.

    But you have been, as I proved.

    You aren’t arguing in good faith. You’re ignoring facts and history.

    Enlighten me. I have posted sources for my claims.

    Murders don’t end in those countries because the revolution is ‘finished’. Anytime someone disagrees they have to be disappeared or reeducated.

    Do they? Is that historically accurate? If by “disagreement” you mean collaboration with the Nazis or the fascist White Army, you’re deliberately obfuscating the facts.

    Is China such a success that they’re using hostages in China to threaten folks to keep their social media compliant with CCP ideals?

    China certainly isn’t perfect, not by any stretch. Don’t confuse support for Marxism for saying every single AES country is perfect in every way. That would be idealism, not Materialism. Overall though, the scope of harm committed by China pales in comparison to US and the rest of the West.

    Do you have any argument that doesn’t involve a bloodletting of society?

    Revolution will happen regardless of how we feel about it. Blaming the oppressed for turning against their oppressors instead of blaming the oppressors for creating the conditions for Revolution in the first place is victim blaming.

    Do you condemn Dessalines for the blood in history’s most successful Slave Revolt in Haiti?

      Oh so we’re moving on from the topic of a working example of Marxism then. Why because I posted some links on the topic?

      Overall though, the scope of harm committed by China pales in comparison to US and the rest of the West.

      You really went to what-about? I provided sources as to why they aren’t examples of working Marxism and you did a what about.

      I’m frustrated with trying to have a reasonable debate with people who think that they have the right to tell others what they can or cannot do. I don’t pretend I can tell others what to do. I don’t think our system is perfect. I’m not about to pretend that a revolution will end up better than where it started. Historically, it’s rare. Even when it happens, it doesn’t last.

      Revolutions are as inevitable as the people who are willing to cooperate to make things better allow. In other words, it’s completely evitable.

      I think treating folks fairly and not exploiting labor is a good idea. Marxism hasn’t led us there historically.
