    Marx is not infallible. Surely you disagree with Marx on what he said about jews?

    I know the topic, and I’ve seen this argument so many times that it’s generic. ‘Oh, that wasn’t communism because the bible says so.’

      Marxes fallibility has nothing to do with anything, we were discussing what communists and MARXISTS believe… are you actually suggesting that what marx said is irrelevant when trying to understand communist thought??

      the argument is that it wasn’t communism because marx clearly and over the course of many books defined the term countless times as “the end of history” and a stateless classless currencyless society in which the workers own the means of production… my argument is based on a reading of marxist literature… your argument is based on what exactly?

      how do you define communism?

        Why did you report me? I have doubts about whether you’re arguing in good faith.

              I guess there’s no rule against trolling so you’re fine. But I thought you were trolling both me and the other guy talking to you. I genuinely believed this. There’d be no point reporting if I didn’t.
