Yeah sure dude, existing in a context is why people condemned police states.

'People who don't know the difference between these terms must be using the more-recognizable one as an oblique criticism of the gap between theory and practice' is the most .ml take I have ever seen.

Condemning the USSR and PRC for not achieving a global stateless, classless, moneyless society is ridiculous. This isn't a gap between theory and practice, lol. Communism isn't anarchism.

... do you understand that criticism can come from outside your own belief set?

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

Yep, but I also understand what Communists actually advocate for and understand that countries building Communism should be judged like every society: with respect to trajectory, not as a snapshot.

Communism isn't a goal because it is stateless, classless, and moneyless. Rather, Communism is a goal because the process of getting there is to create a society benefitting all and directed for the working class, by the working class.

Ignoring what other people mean is not a yes.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

Perhaps what you mean isn't worth much?

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

Making up what you'd rather hear is worse.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

I made up none of what I said, and you engaged with none of it either. I addressed everything you said, to which you plugged your ears.

You're clearly not trying to have a discussion, just sound off on your opinion.

You have repeatedly ignored explanations of what people are doing and why, to instead engage in scoffistry at opinions sourced from the vicinity of your pelvis.

Repeated efforts to highlight how that's what you're doing, and get back to what people say and mean, led you to dismiss people entirely. "Perhaps what you mean isn’t worth much?" is a confession.
