You claimed in an earlier comment that those of us against communism outright lie to reach our claims. I honestly didn't think you'd get offended if I suggested the same of you, so I apologize if I offended you.
Your willingness to cut off our conversation due to being offended over the suggestion you might be lying to yourself is pretty convenient. I was hoping you'd read what I wrote and think about it. You don't have to change your views or beliefs, certainly, but engaging in these conversations is how you hone and are able to defend your beliefs on general.
I understand that up until now, Lemmy has been mostly made of anti-capitalists, so it can be jarring when pro-capitolists flood the space and push back against what's essentially been an anti-capitalist circle-jerk. Totally understandable.
