That is what you said, not me.

I never claimed to be either.

I didn't say I'm a fascist-apologist, I just act like it :)

Great discussion

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is refreshing. Usually I'm called a fascist (and supporter of genocide) because I'm a Jew and therefore inherently support Israel. It usually isn't because I don't support communism but also don't think communes are an example of fascism.

Again with the derail, it really is the only trick you can do.

You know what else is amusing? I'm having a discussion with a communist in this very thread (a civil one with no namecalling) about why communism won't work just based on specialized and trained labor alone. But that's the typical sort of deceit that communists do, I suppose. Talk to people about the failings of communism.

[–] SaakoPaahtaa -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haha no I'm not even a fascist-apologist, look dad I'm talking bad things about it haha

Sigh

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well it's true that I don't have the ability to make the logical deduction that you either believe communes are fascist or you're transphobic.

[–] SaakoPaahtaa -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You could've just kept on topic and we'd arrive at the logical conclusion that all communism is fascist. But for some reason you felt the need to stretch it out like this.

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You don't want to be on topic, you want to be agreed with or else. And since I don't agree that all communism is fascist, because I don't believe that communes are fascist or transphobic (especially not this one)

I'm almost certain you won't check that link, or if you do, you'll dismiss it as off-topic. Please prove me wrong.

[–] SaakoPaahtaa -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You don’t want to be on topic, you want to be agreed with or else.

You wouldn't even know that since you've derailed everything you've touched lmao.

I’m almost certain you won’t check that link

Oh I did. The folks living on the ranch don't even claim to be communist;

"Members of the Tenacious Unicorn Ranch were anarchists, leftists, and antifascists.[2][4] As of March 2020, the ranch had nine residents.[2"

So yeah, again with the derail. You really can't do anything but derail lmao

Wait...

What exactly do you think the 'commun' part of 'communist' means? Communes are the simplest form of communism.

And if you agree with me that they aren't inherently fascist or transphobic, then why am I a fascist and a transphobe but you aren't?

Saakto here is either a troll or deranged, so I wouldn't expect much. Check their post history, it's interesting. They keep accusing people of derailing the conversation when they themselves are the only person doing the derailing. Then they get upset and accuse the other of being a fascist or a transphobe, sometimes both. It's bizarre.

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's pretty weird. Although they don't seem to be able to come up with a response to my last message to them. I was looking forward to an explanation of why I'm still a fascist transphobe when we're in agreement. Oh well, I've got to get started with morning stuff anyway.
