I said your argument sounded like bourgeois capitalist arguments, not that it was the same exact argument. It's called a simile. Obviously capitalists use the argument to defend capitalism, not communism. Have you never encountered a capitalist using the argument that capitalism is good because it brings people out of poverty (a term defined by capitalists)?
Nothing has ever seen long-term or large-scale success, if you uncharitably tweak the definitions of long-term and large-scale.

Sorry, they haven't lasted long enough to be long-term, and they're not big enough to be large-scale.
I, too, can use meaningless filler terms with definitions only I know while insisting I'm arguing in good faith.

You sound like Matthew Yglesias.

It means your arguments sound like those made by bourgeois capitalists.
