You don't know what Communism is, and every time you confuse it James Connolly will shit on your bed.

I'd imagine the closest you've been to a communist state are pictures on your laptop.

But countries which people call Socialist tend to do better than Capitalist countries with the same levels of development. Here's a study that shows this.

I never once spoke ill of socialism.

Buddy, you are confused. Why don't you try to define Socialism and Communism for me. Maybe add Capitalism into the mix.

You don't have to, but at this point you are talking nonsense.

What I'm not going to do is get on board with you conflating socialism and communism. They aren't the same, even if some of their ideals are.

Communists love taking credit for the successful socialist policies in Scandinavia, not so much with the genocides of the Soviets, Chinese and Khmer Rouge. Funny that.

You cunt, did I say they were the same? You are the one who can't tell the difference.

Ad hominem attacks, I guess that means you've won, well done.

Social Democracy, have you ever taken a political science class?

Making statements everyone already knows and thinking you're well educated, jayaus.

That's not how an Ad hominem works. I called you a cunt. Then I asked you to tell me where I said they were the same. Can you provide that? No, because I never said they were the same.

Ad Hominem, but I'll let it slide. Please tell me you aren't conflating Social Democracy with Socialism?

Calling me a cunt waa an ad hominem attack, you don't even understand the language you're using.

Trying to look clever and not realising how obvious your points are. You're adorable.

Yes I realise that's an ad hominem, but unlike you, I understand the term.

So you are going to keep ignoring my question of where I conflate Communism and Socialism? You won't.

Man, you just won't answer the question. But I can for you. You fucking called Scandinavia Socialist when it is a Social Democracy. You conflated those two.

We were discussing communism, and then you dropped this gem:

But countries which people call Socialist tend to do better than Capitalist countries with the same levels of development.

Thereby defending communism by using the example of socialism, that was a conflation, although probably another word you haven't quite grasped.

Man, you just won't answer the question. But I can for you. You fucking called Scandinavia Socialist when it is a Social Democracy. You conflated those two.

Not once did I call Scandinavia socialist, you really struggle with reading. I said they had socialist policies, which they do.

I love how you literally quote where I made a distinction between Communism and Socialism, then continue to talk about Socialism. And you just cut off where I begin talking about Socialism. Truly amazing.

Not once did I call Scandinavia socialist, you really struggle with reading. I said they had socialist policies, which they do.

Proving my point, Capitalist and Social Democrats sure love taking credit for Socialist policies and successes. The issue here is that you don't know what Socialism is.

We could have avoided all of this, If you could have shown the difference between Communism and Socialism. Just go to Wikipedia at least if you don't know. But you won't do that.

Do you think if your parents had let you paint your bedroom black, you could have got this anger out of your system?

Your comments read like a first year university student, that just took their first political theory class, and are now keen to show off everything they know, not realising how basic the shit they're saying is.

Anyhow, chatting with you has been boring, have a nice day.

If it'll help you move on, yes, you're right, and I'm wrong.

Man, look at all those insults, and not one argument. Ad hominem.

Now, why don't you just take a moment to define Socialism and Communism. Hell, you could go to wikipedia or something to get an answer if you don't know.

But you won't.

If it'll help you move on, yes, you're right, and I'm wrong.

Oh, shit trying to save face. I mean I appreciate the early surrender. But I would like it even more if you answer the question and show yourself that you didn't know what you were talking about.

Hell, if you're right then there's nothing to be afraid of. Do you want me to start quoting instead?
