    You explained yourself, you were complaining about ghosts who claimed the USSR wasn’t a true attempt at Communism using wrong terminology, calling it Communism, when this is an Anarchist post.

    I’m proposing that tools don’t turn people evil if they share them, yes. You haven’t done any analysis thay we can discuss here yet, and so far you’ve alluded that your only reasoning against leftism is that some Socialist states have fallen.

    If you decide to say something relevant that we can discuss, I’m down! But you have to start somewhere, and you haven’t yet.

      I described conversations I’ve had and your hot take is ‘no you didn’t.’

      If what I say doesn’t matter then you can find someone else to project at.

        Your initial comment:

        “There is no equivalent data for the second image, because ‘communism has never been tried.’”

        1. This is an Anarchist meme, as we’ve proven

        2. Nobody here has said thay Communism hasn’t been tried

        3. The only thing leftists generally say is that the USSR never reached Communism

        4. Anarchists love to point to Revolutionary Catalonia as a good example of Anarcho-Communism, and wouldn’t say it hadn’t been tried

        Conclusion: you’re arguing with ghosts that don’t exist here for no other reason than to generally be anti-leftist.

          Yeah why would a joke concern a related topic instead of absolutely precisely exactly what’s right there in the text, and by in-the-text I mean the fact there’s no text?

          Nobody ever jokes about things unless they’re categorically opposed.

          Obviously a meme community should be deadly serious, for scholarly discourse, and also nuh-uh nobody oversteps your position or misuses your rhetoric, never ever. A ghost did it!

          Yeesh.

            It’s not related, it was just a poor, incorrect jab at leftism on a leftist community, rather than something relevant. It wasn’t even funny, so that doesn’t save it either.
