“Communism bad”

“Why?”

200 year old tropes so ancient they were debunked by Marx himself

Of course, you go through the motions of explaining the most basic political concepts that could be grasped by skimming the cliff notes for literally any Marxist works

“Friedrich Engels? Is he like the president of Germany or something?”

It’s like a kindergartener trying to teach you calculus.

    I mean that's why a global and total radical reorganization of society is necessary to get beyond this trap. We have to resolve one of the fundamental contradictions of our current organization: that states that can exploit natural resources, other states, and their own populations can use the surplus gathered from that exploitation to impose their will and maintain their existence; while at the same time, this organization also necessarily contributes to its ultimate ruin, but it does mean that they are able to enforce that challengers also maintain a surplus put toward combating that will in order to resist domination - at least so long as the internal contradictions are kept at bay.

    Anyway, we'll either advance to a new organization of human beings with its own, new contradictions, or fall to permanent ruin. I doubt it will be very long now in the grand scheme of things.
