    I would encourage Fascists and Marxist to destroy each other so the world can finally be free of these two parasitic ideologies.

          Sure beats Marxism and Fascism

          Rich… considering it’s coming from somebody who understands neither.

            There’s a 100% chance that I know more about than you… You know since I’ve actually studied both in college. But I’m sure an armchair professor such yourself with a PhD from Lemmy’s echo chambers knows better than my professors.

              Which college was that? Prager U, maybe?

              If you did, you’d actually sound as if you knew anything about the subject matter at hand.

              But you don’t - which means you didn’t.

                Which college was that?

                Nope, a respected public University in New England.

                If you did, you’d actually sound as if you knew anything about the subject matter at hand.

                Your entire argument here boils down to “nuh-uh”, which is absolutely meaningless. If you have actual criticisms then stop beating around the bush and get on with it. Otherwise, I have no interest in whatever this is.

                  a respected public University in New England.

                  Oh really? A “respected public University in New England” taught you to think like a cheap Tucker Carlson knock-off?

                  Do tell… does this “respected public University in New England” do refunds?

                  I hope for your part they do.

                    Yeah okay professor Armchair Marxist, I’m sure everybody is wrong and fake, and you’re the only one that’s right and credible.

            Well it’s quite simple really, you have three choices:

            Fascism: A failed murderous ideology in both theory and practice that has killed tens of million and has done nothing but bring tyranny, poverty, famine, hate, and genocide everywhere it went.

            Marxism: A failed murderous ideology in both theory and practice that has killed tens of million and has done nothing but bring tyranny, poverty, famine, hate, and genocide everywhere it went.

            Neoliberalism: A very flawed ideology that takes economic freedom to an extreme and puts too much faith in unregulated free markets.

            Sounds like a no brainer choice to me.

                You can’t argue, period. Marxism can’t be argued for on its own merits. It needs fallacies, enemies, violence, and censorship to keep itself from collapsing.

                  What merits does Marxism have? What fallacies, enemies, violence and censorship does it use to keep from collapsing?

                  Yeah no shit it was because of the reforms the socialists implemented that they were able to eradicate poverty, not sure how that’s supposed to help your point.

                  Life expectancy nearly doubled while Mao was in power. that’s not “one of the biggest disasters in human history,” it was the single greatest improvement in quality of life on such a large scale in such a short time period ever.

                    Do you even understand what the reforms were?

                    Life expectancy nearly doubled while Mao was in power. that’s not “one of the biggest disasters in human history,” it was the single greatest improvement in quality of life on such a large scale in such a short time period ever.

                    Mao killed somewhere between 40 million and 80 million people during his 27 year reign. He is widely considered to be the person responsible for the highest death toll in human history. The Great Leap Forward by itself is estimated to have somewhere between 15 million to 55 million deaths. The Great Chinese famine is the biggest famine ever recorded and is one of the worst anthropogenic disasters in human history. This is not the hill you should die on.
