Well, seems you went from one bubble to another.
Interesting perspective you have there. I guess it would be surprising for you to hear that i, too, attacked and insulted left wingers, SJWs, communists and anarchists for the entirety of my adolescence, and even into my mid 20s.
It wasn't until I took the time to listen to their arguments, think through their reasoning, and read their theory that i realised - GASP - serious intellectual thought has been put into this for over 100 years, and it has the backing of thorough scientific enquiry.
Let me put it this way. Does it make sense for production to occur through the work of a person, who then goes on to only be compensated for a fraction of their work, with the rest going to a person or grouo that didn't have anything to do with the work? Does it make sense for anyone to own a home they don't live in, for the purposes of withholding it from others for payment?
It doesn't make sense to me, and any argument in favour of landlords or private ownership in general seems to fall back on might makes right, or truisms such as "that's just how it works".
Hey, pro tip. Ad hominem attacks don't help you.
Some of you arguments I agree with (as I like socialist policies).
But you act like a fucking tankie. So, chill out.
What ad hominem? What are you talking about? I haven't attacked you whatsoever. I'm just explaining the core contradiction of capitalism. Elsewhere in this thread you can see me Stalin should have been shot, and that the USSR under him was a revisionist disaster. And nowhere here have I advocated for anything remotely resembling Stalin's policies. So I'm just confused why you're calling me a tankie. And why you thimk I'm attacking you.
