"sure, the people living there say that it was better under communism, but obviously they're too stupid and foreign to know what they think. Only I, the enlightened westerner, can truly judge if things are better, which I will do based on vague vibes that I can't identify the source of"
"People hated living under communism just ask them"
Actually you'll find most people preferred living under communism
"They're just blinded by nostalgia"
So you can't just ask people about what it was like under communism?
"No you can, if you did you'd find they all hated it"
"I like to say I love communism without under duress."
"I love communism not because I am a card-carrying party member."
"The fact that more people fled from communist countries than coming in means those people are crazy."
Least incoherent anti communist
I mean, sure, those who clawed their way out of the Berlin Wall, vault poled over electric fences in the DMZ, defected with a top secret Soviet plane as insurance to be allowed to stay in the West, and swam the Caribbean to desperately leave communist countries surely love communism.
You don't even remember what the point of discussion was, lol.

Nope, that wasn't it.
That's literally the opposite of what happened here, you dumbass
