I thought so. As a soulist, I'm interested in deconstructing and remixing social constructs into forms that benefit social justice. I noticed the hypocrisy of transphobes crying wolf about kids going through irreversible changes, and figured out it takes next to zero effort to use their own language. In appropriating the forms of our enemies' arguments, we reduce their disagreement with us down to its fundamental form - in this case, a religious belief in genetic destiny. That's the only thing setting their arguments of "for the children" apart from my arguments of "for the children". And this is a much harder thing for a bystander to accept unquestioningly than "for the children". I like showing bystanders what's really setting our enemies apart from us.

Think of it like rhetorical kung fu. Using the opponent's force against them

Or they could just keep the legacy endpoints intact while still adding new features.

Also, I'm a soulist. I recognise that all parts of our experiential reality are subjective and socially constructed. And right now, that reality is defined by the rich and powerful. You cannot fight a war while believing that your enemy's weapons are natural and immutable. You cannot fight the rich from inside a reality they control and win. Even if you kill them all, you'll still live in the world they created. You need to take power over reality for the people. That's the only way anyone can ever be free.

In The Good Place there's a scene that takes place in Australia where Chidi, who is a professor there, has a mental breakdown and makes peep chili. The thing is, Australians don't know what peeps are, so this scene made no sense to us. Anyway, that's the only reason I know what peeps are.

But communism isn't a dictatorship. Karl Marx defined communism as stateless. A dictatorship can never be communist.
