They're too fuckin dumb to understand nuanced material critique, so all you're doing is giving them ammo to justify their own anticommunist biases from a left lens. There is no nuance in mainstream politics and the discussions therein, only extremes of black and white, with freedom countries on one and evil dictatorships on the other. Stop it.

      Carefully explaining the nuances of AES states to rabid anti-communists is a great use of one's time, and they are definitely intelligent or educated enough to retain the knowledge imparted onto them, and arguing with them, especially on social media, is a better use of time than IRL organizing.

      By the way, I'm selling a piece of prime real estate in the form of a bridge, DM me if you're interested. Mate's rates for fellow chapobears.

          I can't confirm what you say regarding talking to and convincing rabid anti-communists. The tactic did work to influence an audience however since it happened to me when I was a lurker. I was already "primed" for it though by being at least anti-capitalist. I will say that these things take time to bear fruit.

          I don't believe you, but since there's no way to prove or disprove it, I'll say good job to you, keep up the good work.
