You called me a tankie for the sole reason that I said that Fascism and Stalinism are distinct ideologies and not interchangeable terms.

Maybe you aren't a tankie, but if there was a verifiable test for the disease, I'd bet money you have it on that basis + the .ml yeah.

Not for defending Stalinism, not even for saying it’s not as bad as Fascism, just for saying it’s a different ideology.

because you see me say Stalinism and Fascism are different and just assume that I’m defending stalinism

Don't play dumb. You are engaging in defensive apologia.

Don’t care, labels are descriptive, not a personal affectation.

No shit? I don't embrace the label was listed as specific evidence that I wasn't a liberal because liberals don't care if they are called a liberal. I'd claim bad reading comprehension but that would imply you are capable of growth, its clear you have an ideological myopia and don't want to engage in good faith.

Great, thanks for confirming it's just a baseless pejorative you throw around based on absolutely fucking nothing. Moron

I literally am not, dipshit. Maybe learn to read rather than trying to tell other people what they need to say for your strawman argument to work. Moron. Keep this up and I'm just going to start claiming that you're engaging in defensive of pedophilia. It would be just as reasonable.

Really not beating the accusation that you see everything through a "good guy, bad guy" lens.

I don’t embrace the label was listed

Don't care if you embrace it or not.

liberals don’t care if they are called a liberal.

Some of them, do, like yourself, for example.

Why do reddit liberals have such dogshit attempts at dunks? You'd think, given that they immediately fall back on them whenever challenged on anything, they'd at least get good at them.

its clear you have an ideological myopia and don’t want to engage in good faith.

Once again, look in the mirror and stop projecting, dipshit. I have actually articulated a point, you have just slung personal attacks and some of the worst attempts at dunks imaginable.

Jesus fucking Christ. All of your response is about me. Every time I get into an argument with .ml users it seems the substance of the actual discussion gets lost and it just becomes boring fucking mud slinging. You guys are obsessed with ego and dunking without actually backing it up with the actual meat of your posts.

Since the label used to describe my politics seem to be your primary focus, fine, maybe there is something interesting to be discussed here: Liberals believe in the private ownership of the means of production. I do not.

If you think there are liberals who don't believe in the private ownership of the means of production then I don't know what to tell you. Our disagreement is not able to be reconciled.

I only use this account while at work and largely don't use any social media outside of schedules of face to face meet ups.

I read plenty, just not what you read probably.
