Comradeship // Freechat
Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.
A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities
Yes! We need to stop wasting energy talking to reactionaries and do propaganda and agitation with the working class. The ones not brainwashed, just living their lives.
We can move a non politically active person to the left, but can't do the same to a anti-communist.
It's why, before the world Left got defanged, Communists just used to help those people answer the ages-old question: "Is there a god?" - if you know what I mean.
Now a lot of people who call themselves communists or socialists want to do things 'right', even if it means being nothing more than doomed moral victors and this allowed the rise of these people.
Nah. Mostly pointless arguing about communism with people that understand neither capitalism nor communism and haven't read a word of Marx or any Marxist.
Had someone tell me Das Kapital is a work of linguistics and an opinionpiece void of empiricism. Naturally they hadn't read a word of it or any political/economic theory ever for that matter, but were completely adamant about their position.
You can't argue with someone like that. Most libs are like this. They'll just nod it off or go on anticommunist tirades they've picked up somewhere from someone.
I really hope that most liberals aren't like this in real life
Afaik most are just "uh huh" and changing the topic.
I'll take that over a rabid anticommunist
Don't argue with anticommunists on the internet with the aim to change their minds. Argue with anticommunists on the internet for the consideration of the silent stranger on the internet who's watching the exchange, and who is still forming or reconsidering their ideas and ideology.
Point out the stupidity/inconsistency/lie in the anticommunist take; leave links to evidence and resources not to prove anything to the dickhead dropping the take, but as further reading for the potential new comrade who's silently watching.
