those demons love free market capitalism right? It'd be a shame if some people got together to do a bit of praxis...

    I suppose I should note that I have no expectations for a good faith interaction going forward and that these are my last replies of any length.

      I don't know what you think I'm doing here, but it's not whatever is being projected onto me? Since my second response to you, I've tried to engage in good faith with you, but at this point I'm really not sure what productive conversation we can continue having. From my second response, where I started off by saying "Okay then lets talk about it comrade", I was apologizing, through literal "action" (for what action posting on a forum really matters) that I was wrong to not engage in this with more nuance. And from that response forward, I guess maybe you smelled blood in the water out of the vulnerability being displayed in saying "I was wrong, lets have the discussion", and took that as your cue that you could embark on the crusade of self-righteousness?

      As for this contrivance of a post: I'm not going to even try to engage with it. In as plain of English as I can muster up, you're just wrong, you are failing to apply the dialectics to the present day, and so you're just wrong. You will probably continue to always be wrong. That's all I can say. Other than that, hope you don't make it into any form of leadership or garner a platform large enough to influence socialist thought because you don't even have a grip on what the terms you're throwing around even mean. I'm honestly more depressed now than I was hours ago, because I'm thinking "this westerner can't get their terms straight, let alone apply them to the situation with any kind of intellectual rigor and honesty". Any time I have a point to make, you're just whining about toxicity to distract from the fact that you don't have a response. Whether this is intentional and conscious, or unconscious and unintentional, is besides the point, because the effect is the same; the situation is untenable.

      Anyways, I sure am glad that you got the chance to wax poetic and drop this steaming shit of a take on the threshold, to then go running off with your fingers in your ears. That's some real, principled, and mature shit coming from such an experienced and wise socialist, or leftist organizer.
