Argue or provide evidence that capitalism or anticommunism have caused far more damage
“WHATABOUTISM”
Attribute the killings or other extreme measures to something other than communism
“LOLOL NOT REAL COMMUNISM U SAY”
Say that the tolls are massively inflated or provide evidence that they are
“LITERALLY HOLOCAUST DENIAL ONLY WORSE”
Provide evidence of communists helping and benefiting other people, or attribute historical disasters to natural or external factors
“TANKIE PROPAGANDA”
Screw it, concede that communist revolutionaries have had to violently suppress millions of counterrevolutionaries and probably caused substantial collateral damage while doing so
“YOUR IDEALOGY DOESNT WORK IF U HAVE TO USE VIOLENCE OR GET FAMINES OR ANYTHING BAD EVER HAPPENS FOR ANY RESON AT ALL…EPIC FAIL!!!”
Yawn.
No wonder it’s usually the leftoid noobs who waste their time trying to reason with these types. They just haven’t accumulated enough experience to realize that anticommies never wanted to have a conversation in the first place.
As far as I’m concerned, anticommunists are only good for trolling and nothing else. Prove me wrong, if you wish.
Nah. Mostly pointless arguing about communism with people that understand neither capitalism nor communism and haven’t read a word of Marx or any Marxist.
Had someone tell me Das Kapital is a work of linguistics and an opinionpiece void of empiricism. Naturally they hadn’t read a word of it or any political/economic theory ever for that matter, but were completely adamant about their position.
You can’t argue with someone like that. Most libs are like this. They’ll just nod it off or go on anticommunist tirades they’ve picked up somewhere from someone.

The most anti-intellectual intellect in the world.
Man I wish lol. I’d be surprised if they know who Chomsky is. The lingustics part probably came from their lack of knowledge of any philosophy and thus equating philosophy and semantics (“lingustics”). Then they picked up somewhere that Marx was a philosopher and as such assumed Kapital is a work of philosophy (and thus being void of empiricism).
It’s just crazy how bourgeois propaganda managed to give people this insane confidence about schools of thought and works they evidently haven’t got the slightest clue about. That person wouldn’t dare making such broad claims about any work else. But Marx - haven’t read a word of his, but can confidently say exactly what it is and isn’t and even the contents of a 3 part tomb of a work. How? Well one just knows.
