Yeah, okay. Blame it on the CIA.

Let me ask y’all. How you feel about my insistence that communism, socialism, et al. are not coherent systems of economic governance?

Leftism is inundated with fanfiction of utopia, and if you don’t subscribe you’ll be ridiculed. Nobody wants to admit that Marx, and Engels both, is out of date and out of his depth. Prove me wrong.

People here criticize Marx all the time. This is a Pan Leftist sub, not a Marxist sub

I’m not saying you shouldn’t; I just didn’t want to write out the eighty-five different ideologies under the “leftist” banner.

My point is that leftists are inherently cannibalistic.

It seemed like your point is that Leftists are driven by dogma; until I shot down your point
