While I wasn’t saying “communism is good,” I was saying: Capitalism is bad, actually. If you want lived experiences I’m the son of two working class parents who have been repeatedly broken down by the system they work so hard to uphold. Both are always a few paycheques from homeless in one of the richest countries on earth. You’re never going to convince me. :)

Dan really dragged himself through the mud in the comments. When backed into a corner about his conflation of "Leftism" w/ "Communism" (and subsequent injection of counterfactual red scare garbage), he just handwaved and said "this is unproductive". The sad truth is that he probably doesn't know the difference and is unwilling to admit that his knowledge of the left is literally nonexistent.

That’s the thing that drove me crazy about this “debate.” It wasn’t one. For a brief moment, he countered with a few sources Im pretty sure he didn’t even read. And when I broke down that they proved my point that the LBBC is propagandist nonsense full of factual inaccuracies, he didn’t address it, and spent the rest of the time trying to strawman me. My only points were: 1. there exist leftist possibilities outside of the worst experiments in communism (see cooperatives and how they relate to DAOs) 2. The LBBC is a bad thing to reference since it’s full of gross inaccuracies and was funded by the CIA 3. Capitalism has wrought unspeakable horror on the world and is essentially self destructive and yet he won’t even acknowledge the flaws (even in passing)
