I'm not commenting on your misalignment with the ideology, but rather your intellectual dishonesty. You can't even think about "ideologies like that" without twisting your own mind up and telling yourself a bunch of lies to make yourself feel better.
I'm not saying communism is good or bad. I'm saying: you don't know because you are unable to examine it honestly and rationally.
Yeah, talk to a few people on hexbear or lemmygrad and tell me I'm being intellectually dishonest. People on lemmy call for the death of landlords constantly, go ahead and ask thrm to specify and see if one of them makes the distinction. They always say "she's perpetuating the capitalist system so she's not inocent, and private property and money won't exist after the revolution so she can forfeit her rental property or get killed, and she won't need the income because everything will be free since there is no money and you instead own the product of your labor. At least she gets to keep the house she lives in if she capitulates!" Every fucking time. I didn't make it up out of nowhere my dude, "I learned it from watching you."
