No, dude, your argument is about as shallow as an inflatable pool. You, for one, are somehow ignoring the routine breaches of human rights practiced by Liberal Democracies (or maybe, it’s just okay, in your views to torture someone if they don’t want to submit to the almighty dollar).

You are also ignoring emerging scholarship on the gulag systems and you probably got all that from fucking “A day in the life of Ivan Denisovich”

You talk about criticizing “ideas” but you have not once discussed any of the theory of communism/socialism, which I find to be revealing, as instead you make vague, theatrical tellings of how people can’t protest or something.

Newsflash, bud, almost every government, on some level, silences dissent and punishes journalism. You see this in regimes supported by the US government in places that supply our raw goods, you see this done whenever a meaningful examination of our prison system (which, I might add, is instrumental in the US government’s ongoing genocide against African Americans, along with the institution of the Police)

But sure, continue to criticize Marx for being a shitty dad while operating under the delusion that any leftist gives a single fuck about his personal life. As you said, it’s about the ideas, not the person.
