      In what way is this “too much” reading? If you weren’t trying to make a point, what were you trying to do?

        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.

          My top comment was frivolous indeed, because I considered OP quite frivolous too. Maybe that was my mistake? However, I do not think getting downvoted all the way on all my comments on this thread is very justified.

          I do not consider myself a lib, and the meme do not reflect my opinion, however I still felt targeted by the post. Why? Another mistake from my part? Maybe the first response should not always be antoginization of the not .ml user.

        It is too much reading in assuming I am anti-communist. I was replying to the post in the style of the post.

            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.

              Then we circle back to the beginning:

              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?

                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.

                  You complained about communists directly:

                  “Ok so now it’s legitimate to invade these countries!”

                  Average tankie.

                  Meaning you took issue with the Marxist stance on the Russo-Ukrainian War. It seems like you’re trying to say that this is just an esoteric Lemmy.ml thing, plus again as I pointed out you were complaining about a distorted, strawman version of the Marxist stance.

                    Do you hereby imply that you agree that the tankie take is the invasion is legitimate? If yes, then please explain to me why and how it is the marxist stance.

              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.
