You made that comment in response to:
I don't see where that claims anything about the purity of any given system. In fact, all it does is ask for "What definition of communism are you using?"
To be precise, you demanded an example of a 'pure' system that the original commenter made no pretensions of supporting, and when called out, you objected that you weren't the one claiming that such a system existed, implying that the other commenter was (which is demonstrably untrue).
I absolutely did not get that meaning from your comment at the top of this thread, which was:
Ok, but that seems like a non sequitur. I don't understand how your metaphor is supposed to help translate "[capitalism] beats communism any day of the week" into "communism isn't automatically good because capitalism isn't". Those are two completely different statements.
I think it would help me if you connected the dots more when you write things.
Ok, I understand what you meant better. Thanks for explaining further.
