    The annoying thing is these people never see themselves as the insufferable bores always taking about local politics.

    It’s always really important.

    It’s always that you’re a nazi if you don’t agree.

    It’s just modern born-again Christians, who aren’t knocking on your door, they’re posting in your social Media.

      Well, when you realize that most of the radical communists on here truly believe that there must be an eternal struggle working towards communism but never actually achieving the goal, it makes sense why they are the way they are.

      Literally had one of them tell me that is beyond unrealistic to expect any state to be able to even implement Socialism to any real degree. Of course, in Marxism a Socialist state must exist before withering away as Communism is fully realized, so they will literally admit that their philosophy is impossible to achieve.

      They fetishize the struggle; they don’t actually want progress, they want to complain.

        In the past they were sitting in cafes across Europe, chain smoking and writing pamphlets.

        “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.” - Eleanor Roosevelt.

        Which of these are you discussing now?

          You should go back to your quotes, its pretty obvious that we are discussing the idea of holding a belief while simultaneously categorizing that belief as impossible.
