Well, I guess even when I'm being nice, you are still gonna hurl those insults, huh toots. You are so blinded by hatred, you can't even bring yourself to even sort of agree with somebody on the right. I guess you must be part of the 6-8% who will just never get it, ignoring all evidence placed in front of you. I actually feel sorry for you. I would hate to live like that.
Oh no, I actually just ham it up because you get mad and pearl clutch over it. Pretty funny. You'd think an adult wouldn't get so tilted so easily over what some chick online thinks.

The old "I'm only messing you to get a rise out of you" reason. That's almost as believable as you being a chick.

This is so dumb, it brings me physical pain to even read it, much less having to respond to it.

If economies are specific to capitalism only and based off of monetary resources, then explain the following:
Soviet rubles
Cuban pesos
Venezuelan bolivars
Chinese yuans
North Korean wons

If you can't even understand the basics, I'm not going to waste time explaining other basics to you. Do me a favor and don't reply to me and waste my time with idiocy. In fact, just don't reply to me at all.
Isn't it obvious? Private wealth hasn't been abolished anywhere in the world, so socialism and/or communism still has to interact with the material means outside their borders as well as deal with the pre-established systems they spawned from. People also aren't ready to just throw all their private earnings into a fire at the first sign of collective action. Marx specifically outlines the process of shifting away from these things, and that it is unreasonable to presume absolute dependence on state support instantaneously. Just because utopia hasn't been reached overnight doesn't make it impossible nor unworthy of our efforts. Do me a favor and don't reply to me and waste my time with your silly misguided hatred and lack of knowledge on the topics you rant about.

Ah, the delicious ignorance of a man ranting about his own failings. You're really doing a good job of lowering the value of the y chromosome.

You wouldn't have tried the transphobia route if you didn't feel it'd be effective, coward.

So for socialism to work, the entire world must switch over to it. And how do you suppose that will happen? Do you think the socialists are just gonna ask everyone nicely? Considering the violent history of socialists, that will not happen. It's no wonder socialists want to disarm entire populations. It's the only way for them to take over.

Again with the insults. How old are you people? 12?

I use to be super woke when it comes to all that stuff and use to be all for rights and stuff no question ask.

But it turns out the whole slippery slope thing was real as the years come by it feels like the whole thing is designed just to stay victims.

Not only that they keep adding more stupidity to the whole thing is like a race on who could be the most insane let's keep inventing genders and crap.

There is a small number of good people sure and those are the ones i care for but now im careful when supporting something and i question it.

Perhaps you should stop jumping to your own conclusions without reading up on the topic? It is a gradual process by design, getting folks to ween off capitalist tendencies and embrace the power of a collective. Also fun fact, socialists are scapegoats and victims of violence more often than not, i.e. the ban on Cuba, the assassination of popular socialist leaders by materially invested countries worried about the impact to their revenue streams, and of course the thing right wing crackpots never seem to understand, the way they kicked Mussolini out of their party and how he denounced the socialist movement before murdering a bunch of socialists with the military backing of the very much not socialist Hitler and proclaiming himself leader of a new party, the Republican Fascist Party.

You tend to get the insults because you condescend, insult, and fly a flag of zealous ignorance, comrade. Honestly, I kinda pity your dedication and pride to being consistently wrong at this point.

You may want to replace they with the noun it's supposed to reference for clarity.

I have seen the gradual process of socialism in the US and now people are seeing the lurch to the far left in the last year and a half. Socialists are the ones who are responsible for violence, it's the only way they can fully take over. Look at KLANtifa. They are socialists and one of the most violent hate groups in the country. They attack every minority they come across whether they are black, Asian, women, gays and trans.

I get insults for the simple reason that I have burst the left's echo chamber in these forums and you all are throwing a tantrum over it. If you all could actually debate and present your side using facts and logic, there would be no need for petty insults, but then again, insults and emotion are the tools of socialists because the facts are not on your side.

I honestly thought better about the average person. Turns out you’re born as a bastard and it’s unlikely that’s going to change.

I tried to eat something with mayo in it.

Still, nope. All of the nope.
Eh, it's okay. Once in a while I'll get a huge craving for a sandwich with Mayo in it, but I get tired of it extremely fast. Same with Chocolate, huge craving out of no where for Chocolate, but I get tired of Chocolate after the first candy bar.

I used to cringe when I thought about having sex with a ginger woman, I imagined they had no souls and smelled like a combination of crushed digestive biscuits and stale fox piss. Still given that - I would put a clothes peg on my nose and let Karen Gillan and Emma Stone get in about me if they played their cards right. I know gingers are a bit mental so I would be wary the entire time, however if they told me they were lefties - that would be a line I wouldn't cross.
