I’ve already got my stances all clear and out in the open, from my stances on the Soviet prison system to what “authoritarian” even means in practice. I’m a Marxist-Leninist, again my opinons are fairly standard for Marxist-Leninists. Again, who are you doing this for?
If it’s for yourself, then you would do well to engage more with the arguments, rather than dismiss them outright. The point of the dialectical method is to come to a higher understanding by engaging with opposition, not avoiding it.
I mean, I’ve made it clear that I think those have all applied to you thus far, yet I’ve still played my part in the game because I know it’s more useful for onlookers to see the arguments than just dismissing the opportunity. If you truly believe me to be deluded and full of shit, bad-faith, etc, and know you’re on a thread where more people will agree with me than disagree, then the only way your strategy works is if you engage with the arguments and win so thoroughly that they have to be acknowledged.
In the absence of pushing back against my arguments, all you’ve done thus far is give me a free platform to share my views, and good sources for those who wish to see them.

Either way, I answered the other thread.

I fail to understand how trying to come to a better understanding through opposed argument works if you reject making arguments, but you do you.
