    What are you saying? That people who don’t have political science degrees shouldn’t participate in politics? The whole point of democracy is more people participating.

    You seem to be holding yourself up as an authority, but I have no reason to think you are.

    Your assertion was you can’t have an authoritarian communist. I gave a counter example of Stalin, an authoritarian communist. You seem unwilling or unable to refute that Stalin was authoritarian.

      That’s not what I’m saying at all. If you argue in such bad faith and put words in my mouth I’ll stop replying.

      I’m saying that just because you can google something, that is not the same as being knowledgeable about a topic. Especially when the topic is divisive and nuanced and you yourself admitted that you don’t know enough about the topic to not mix things up.

      Same. I’m just anothet online idiot. But I’m not pretending to know topics I’ve not actually read upon

      Oof, I see a bunch of misunderstanding here. Re read the thread and I’ll be happy to engage with you (as long as you don’t put more words I didn’t say into my mouth please lol)
