Look, it's like the scientific method, right? You start with a theory, and then you gather a bunch of data, and the stuff that agrees with your theory you keep, and the stuff that doesn't you either dismiss outright, or you rationalize. I feel like I really can't make my position any more obvious than that.

I appreciate your patience and your continued efforts to educate folks on this website, but I think you're barking up the wrong tree here.

I think you're being sarcastic here but I'll be honest, I genuinely can't tell, so either a good troll or I'm being dumb, haha.

It's sarcasm yes. I figured dropping a phrase like dicatorship of the proletariat would give up the game (honestly I thought my very first comment in the thread was already laying it on thick), but Poe's law in action I guess. I do really appreciate you, keep up the good work.

Aww, thanks! Yea I'm dumb, but in my defense your sarcastic act and the genuine absurdity I have seen among anti-Communists are nearly indistinguishable, lol.
