Imagine when someone points out you're being illogical by using an appeal to authority and you respond by... doubling down on an appeal to authority. That's some Marx-tier dialectical thinking there, comrade

TIL appeal to authority is when you cite someone with relevant experience as maybe having thoughts worth listening to on the subject. It's not merely because he's a smart physicist, but also because he had a wide variety of political life experience and makes good arguments.

You present no counter argument and just yell "fallacy". Neither you nor the original reply even bothered to check the veracity of the quote or cite any reasons for or against einstein's opinion, merely dismissing it out of hand and implying it is ridiculous.

It doesn't matter what Einstein thought about Lenin; if he had a good argument for Lenin being a good guy, that argument would stand on its own, and the content (that's "material conditions" in redfash-speak) of that argument should be discussed. Additionally, it's not necessary for me to offer a counter-narrative to point out a logical fallacy; that's shifting the burden of proof, another fallacy.

"Being illogical is when you consider one of history's most important users of logic a person that should probably be listened to."

lol still doubling down on your irrationality. There are some contradictions, but a dialectical analysis shows that being irrational is, in fact, progressive; am I right, comrade?

You can't just say random words frequently said by marxists completely outside their correct context and have them mean anything.

Stop gatekeeping dialectics, tankie

There it is. The thought-terminating cliche.
