Except we came exactly to that point with Cowbee. Who, I am thankful, was open to dialog, unlike you with your short unrelated or straight made up comments.
Why is it that anti-communists never seem to be capable of genuinely engaging with the stances of Marxists, and have to invent strawmen to reconcile their refusal to understand the Marxist point of view?
They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.
Not in general no. I was more refering to how I have seen .ml users too encline to defend Russias decision to invade Ukraine. That’s what my comment was more refering to/implying.

“Ok so now it’s legitimate to invade these countries!”
Average tankie.
Average lib.
This is a nice completion to the post however I am not sur it is related to my comment.
Your comment is a person that only lives in your head. It’s a strawman

You are reading too much into a stupid comment to a stupid post.
In what way is this “too much” reading? If you weren’t trying to make a point, what were you trying to do?

Pretty spot-on.
It is too much reading in assuming I am anti-communist. I was replying to the post in the style of the post.
But you were just complaining about communists, no?

Nobody said that.
Then we circle back to the beginning:
In what is not agreeing with current russia foreign policies being anti-communist? We are not being circling back to the beginning, this is bad faith.
If it makes you feel better, there are Marxist-Leninist parties with anti Russia stances, just most MLs on this site are not members of those parties.
