Commie 101: Shut Down the Facts

Throughout colonial history a large part of colonialism is authoritarianism. Colonialists have stolen land and assets throughout history.

 

colonists have been both capitalists and communists.

 

The communist colonialists seized assets from the local peoples and... gave them back to the local people?

 

Yeah, right. Ask the people in Eastern Europe about this.

 

and your comment means what... therefore... lenin and stalin and ussr and mao and other communists are OK with you?

comrade, even the 70s beatles are not cool with that...

 

Illogical. The problem there is authoritarianism. There can be democratic socialism, like that found today all over Europe.

 

so you are backing off the support of communism and admit a large part of it is authoritarianism?

 

Which part of, "there can be democratic socialism, like that found today all over Europe" do you not understand?

 

what does that statement have to do with this...exchange... in which I pointed out that communism is not exclusive of authoritarianism and you responded with a typical ricter deflection...

Of course it isn't. Neither is capitalism. And neither of those is exclusive of democracy, either.
