Are you tone policing everyone in this thread or just the people you don't agree with? You don't have to answer, I can see from all the snarling contempt people are throwing that somehow is not as worth a rebuttal.

Tone policing? Lol. Wtf does that even mean? And ofc no one need answer/comment. The irony of that position is palpable. Who wrote the entirely snarky response? You did. And of what use is it?
You want to defend Marxism? Then do it. Don't expect others to become 'experts' in order to point out the failings and mostly pedantic tenets of some utopian system that has zero chance of EVER being implemented. You know, w/o killing a few million folks here and there. My time would be better spent 'studying' the corpus of astrology....at least no one suffers from astrology.
Yeah, see I appreciate this tone, because at least its honest about what you actually think, instead of pretending that if I put my point forward politely enough you would give a shit. Thank you.
And as a general rule, people don't invalidate an entire ideology on the basis of the failed states it produces or the crimes they commit. If we did, we would have stopped advocating for democracy around the time Athens killed all the people in Melos and then lost the Peloponesian war to Sparta. Or the time the Roman Republic collapsed into despotism. Or the time the French Republic collapsed into despotism, or the US into Civil War, or the Weimar Republic into out and out facism. And yet none of these invalidate what we understand to be the core benefits of Democracy, or the idea that we should improve on it. Only Communism gets held to that standard for some reason.

What a weird response.
