“Communism bad”

“Why?”

200 year old tropes so ancient they were debunked by Marx himself

Of course, you go through the motions of explaining the most basic political concepts that could be grasped by skimming the cliff notes for literally any Marxist works

“Friedrich Engels? Is he like the president of Germany or something?”

It’s like a kindergartener trying to teach you calculus.

    It's not even just being ignorant but confident, I saw a post on reddit-logo the other day saying "communism has never given any rights to women, why are there women communists"

    Typical lib response was to ignore that it just literally isn't true and instead say that they showed token support for "propaganda". Some were even saying that the rights women had gained, such as the ability to own land, vote, and divorce, were also only done for propaganda purposes. They actively ignore the evidence presented in front of them in favour of "ooOoOOOOoOOoO COMMUNISM SPOOKY EVIL" specter

      Never forget the State Department had to intervene and let minorities attend white schools because the segregation was going to cause the US to lose the Cold War.

      These are the people saying rights were granted by communism for propaganda purposes.
