They got super upset about me pointing out that we're over here having a great time while they wring their hands and yell at each other lol
- holy shit this is great, one of them is now educating me on what communism is lmao:
  This is prime example of my point.
  Just so you know, we like communists (mostly, we are communists), we’re generally OK with socialists
  Your statement reveals you have no knowledge of the subject or ideals you claim to believe in. Communism is a process in which to establish a Socialist utopia. It was conceived by Marx based on the Machiavellian quote “The ends justify the means.” and was laid out in the Communist Manifesto. It is a militant process in which to implement SOCIALISM by force. I am guessing you are a fan of how things worked out in China?
  
  I like when libs talk about the Communist Manifesto like it's some sort of step by step plan on how to achieve Communism. It's a pretty easy sign there is not reason to engage with someone if they're too brain dead or disingenuous to read a 30 page pamphlet.

  There was a famine sixty years, two governments, and at least one massive economic reform ago therefore communism bad.
  
  Why do these communist countries keep having only one famine, early in their development, followed by no other famines and rapid increases in welfare and nutrition? Must be because they're ontologically evil and want to do genocide by famine

  Marx writes a book where he gets a little annoyed about the cost of linen and coats and shit while begging for money from his sugar daddy
  Then these dorks come around and try to tell everyone he was some evil Machiavellian genius who wanted to murder billions
  
  Marx was an evil genius
  Marx was a dude's rock dude who spent way too much time in the government archives in London and once got kicked out of the house because he was up all night playing chess and having epic gamer moments.

  the dictator carol marx killed a bijillion people in china
  
  Did Machiavelli say the ends justify the means? He spent a lot of pages talking about Virtu in his art of war book. The Prince is kind of it's own thing and I don't think we'll ever have broad agreement on whether it's supposed to be read straight or read as satire.

  No, but something close to it. Which isn't a wonder since consequentialist and realpolitik texts do precede him.
  However what I heard sometimes was that it was from here:
  Cf. Ovid Heroides ii. 85 exitus acta probat, the outcome justifies the deeds. The negative of this is also ...
  
  "Marx studied Lenin", and sho on <*schniff*>
