We both know the corruption claims were cover ups for the corporate witch-hunt. Also, you're very aware of my readiness to change my views in the presence of convincing evidence. This evidence is however not so convincing.
What do you mean "corporate witch hunt?" I believe the evidence of corruption is valid, do you have evidence to the opposite? Why do you say it isn't convincing?
Furthermore, I believe you have displayed the exact opposite of being willing to change your views in the face of evidence, and have proven the articles I provided here quite accurate given your refusal to read any of the evidence I provided in our last conversation where you not only refused historical books, but even an 8 minute article.
You shattered any impression of openness back then, so you'll forgive my lack of faith in you.
Racism and homophobia in one, color me surprised. You don't actually have any point, so you insult me directly with racism and homophobia. Coming from you, I can't say I am surprised, but it's still disappointing, and considering I'm pansexual the homophobia still hurts.
Either way, your refusal to read more than 2 seconds of an 8 minute article purely because it could change your mind is exactly what I am talking about. If you trusted what I said so far enough to read a whole book and yet can't read more than 2 seconds of an article that disagrees with your narrative, that further cements my point that you seek license to be racist and homophobic, which you unmasked here. You want to only further your own narrative and outright reject anything that doesn't agree with you, Politzer's book never risked that but real historical evidence can, so you hide your eyes. All "Tankies" does is elaborate on the real successes of Socialism and why Marxists support AES, and directly states that Marxists do not believe Stalin and Mao did nothing wrong, yet you avert your eyes before you dare see real Socialist victories, like doubling life expectancy, defeating the Nazis, reaching near full literacy rates (far more than modern US), and ending famines.
If nothing else, reconsider your racism and homophobia before you continue to hurt others.
