Yes, but compassionate bullying. Bully their ideas but not them (as long as they are open to learn). If they start posting like chuds, treat them like chuds.
Considering the way they've been acting and their fixation on this, I really don't have much hope.
EDIT: In addition, I can't imagine any of the China Bad users on this site even talking like this guy. Their posts just reads so.... I dunno, inorganic?
I'm not changing the subject. You guys keep harassing me and shitting on me and I'm just trying to have a conversation here and figure out what your deal is.
You have yet to shed the arrogance of having and sharing opinions about things you’ve never read about.
So what you're saying is that once I read all of Marx/Lenin/Stalin/Mao then I'll be converted to your faith/philosophy?
My entire comment was telling you that you don't know what communism is and your response was to claim alignment with some standard anarchist-adjascent figures. Do I need to explain why this is changing the subject or can you big a big cool adult and figure it out yourself?

Because you're acting in bad faith and trying to get gotchas on a topic where you are an absolute dumbfuck. I've explained your exact confusion about terminology many times on this site to people who know how to ask questions about things they don't understand rather than arriving with impregnable ignorance.
I’m just trying to have a conversation here and figure out what your deal is.
You talk like this irl? How often do people roll their eyes or just start ignoring you? You've presented a very basic ignorance of the topic you're trying to discuss and keep trying to troll about China when people actually try to take you seriously.
I get it. Your political education begins and ends with V*ush or the political compass and a little Wikipedia or something. That does not actually grant you license to be an arrogant little prick.

Perfect example of you being a bad-faith pissbaby.
claim alignment with some standard anarchist-adjascent figures.
Anarcho-Communists. That's my point. There are many flavors of communism.

Respect that people have differences of opinion and that every leftist has a place in our community. Discussing differences in theory is fine and encouraged, just don't make it personal. Remember: Sectarianism is liberalism. We will ban you if you insult, demean or harass anyone. That is not welcome behavior.
Because you’re acting in bad faith
I'm explicitly telling you the truth - I am acting in GOOD faith. I want to know the answers to my questions. I'm NOT looking for "gotchas". I'm trying to have a conversation. But you guys keep getting all confrontational.
you are an absolute dumbfuck.

people who know how to ask questions about things they don’t understand
Oh, is there an etiquette that I'm missing here? Am I supposed to rephrase my questions so I don't offend you?
You talk like this irl? How often do people roll their eyes or just start ignoring you?
I do. And not very often. I tend to surround myself with people who treat others with respect.
You’ve presented a very basic ignorance of the topic you’re trying to discuss and keep trying to troll about China when people actually try to take you seriously.
Ok, obviously I'm "ignorant". But I am not trying to troll anyone. I promise you that. I may just be "the dumbest human on the planet" in your eyes. Sure, granted. Can we just get over that and act like adults?
Your political education begins and ends with V*ush or the political compass and a little Wikipedia or something.
I do enjoy a good Wikipedia session.
That does not actually grant you license to be an arrogant little prick.
If I'm coming off as arrogant, I apologize. Sometimes I'm not self-aware enough to realize that I'm coming off that way. I honestly just ask questions to know the answers. I don't have an ulterior motive. I'm not trying to prove a point. I'm just asking a question because I want to know the answer.
I know you've probably encountered a lot of snarky bullshitters in the past, and maybe you're paranoid and just paint any newcomer with the same brush. But I assure you, I am not one of them.
you do know it’s in the modlog for anyone to see, right? Literally the latest entry.
What is? What did I say that was "russiagate shit"? Are you talking about the existence of bot/troll farms? Because if you don't think they exist, then I've got a bridge to sell you.
you also think China have been lying the whole time about their COVID response
They've also been posting russiagate shit lmao, total bad faith poster with a terminal case of
:brainworms:
I mean, they just uncritically posted a foreignpolicy article.
They are a lib, which means that the lib-to-left pipeline is still open.
I hope so, is the policy education followed by bullying if they refuse to listen still?
Yes, but compassionate bullying. Bully their ideas but not them (as long as they are open to learn). If they start posting like chuds, treat them like chuds.
PPB on standby, marxists.org locked and loaded

What's that mean? I'm not a marxist. I'm much more in line with Bakunin and Kropotkin.

Third time was not the charm. I don't know why, every other post seemed to be fine. Your last three got all sorts of fucked up.

Yeah this isn't working out.
In case you were wondering, this is what they've been looking like: https://i.imgur.com/CvuRKyw.jpg
I wonder what the deal is. Is this one coming through normal?
What do you mean "inorganic"? And "fixation"?
This just happens to be one of the subjects I care about. I also like classic cars and the Dodgers and graphic design. Nice to meet you too.
I can't read your post. It's formatted all wrong.

(better?)
Still have no idea what you just wrote.
I am an anarcho-communist.
Interesting given that you don't know what communism is
My philosophy aligns more with Bakunin, Kropotkin, and Bookchin than it does Marx/Lenin/Stalin/Mao etc.
You're changing the subject, pissbaby.

I never said "the whole time". But if you look at their numbers, that flatline is highly suspect and makes zero sense.
