      I'm not really in the business of sourcing things to users from an instance that is basically a Sealioning factory.

      Ultimately, I will get told I don't understand economics until I've read all three volumes of Das Kapital. Ironically, it's no different that libertarians saying you don't understand economics unless you've read the works of Milton Friedman, or more importantly, Ayn Rand.

        You can't accuse people of sealioning in a conversation you chose to participate in; it's not sealioning to expect you to actually back up your assertion.

        You literally, not figuratively, just made up an argument to refute. Want to talk about reddit debate fallacies, how about straw men.

        You've spent your life steeped in capitalist ideology, but have you read any socialist theory? Your comments continue to demonstrate your complete ignorance of what we're talking about, so why are you talking about things you fundamentally don't understand? Is something being complicated evidence of it being wrong somehow? Why do you think being given book recommendations is so unreasonable? Do you want to understand us or not? Is your brain too rotted by the internet providing immediate gratification at all times for you to read?

            What specifically related to socialism?

                  They can't. Every single one of these libs keep saying they have sources but at most will link fucking wikipedia then say that anyone who disagrees just isn't discussing things in "good faith" or whatever bullshit
