If that's your takeaway, then you need to listen to more leftists and rightists. Rightists fundamentally have no fucking clue what Communism means, that's where the whole "read theory" meme comes from. Leftists do understand Capitalism, and make genuine analytical claims against it.
It’s a shibboleth for either side, where the expression of distaste or hatred for the concept, or the quick association of evils with it marks you a member of the tribe.
Some Leftists understand Capitalism. Some Rightists understand Communism. Larger swaths than they wield the words about.
Nah, that's just Enlightened Centrism nonsense. We are born into Capitalism, not Socialism nor Communism. I'm correct, leftists must first understand Capitalism to criticize it, while rightists just have to defend the status quo.
You can watch this in the real world, if you ask a right winger about Socialist concepts without calling them Socialist, most agree until you call them Socialist.
You speak the memes like a native, and bravely declare yourself to be right. Thanks for the attempt at engaging— have a nice day.
I am correct, dodging my points and acting surprised that I correctly called out your nonsense doesn't make you look better.
But was the day nice?
