What word do you need sounded out?

Identifying a few factions, dates, and names of the events would be a solid way to respond to a request for clarification.

Do you describe the Second World War as “bad thing where people died”, or could you think of more details that elucidate the events?

Who are my heroes?

Regardless, please clarify “the campaign of ethnic cleansing”.

Both sides of the conflict are indictable, but atrocities cannot be excused on the same basis as war.

Please clarify “13,000 Ukranian civilians murdered by their own government”. Casualties in conflict are not murder, much less murder committed by the “by their own government”, even if the conflict could have been avoided.

Many seem to believe that if Trump died in office, the situation would return to a normalcy from before his first administration. It’s tiresome, lazy thinking.

I am sorry, but you are returning nonsense apologetics.

Russian workers obviously never controlled the economy.

Support is not control.

Socialism was never established in Russia, and “correctly analyzing the situation” is too vague to be meaningful.

What do you think was done correctly that would not have been done so without Marxism?

There are fascists in Russia, too. Russia and Putin strongly express elements of fascism. Putin does not care about Nazis in Ukraine. They were invoked as an excuse to justify the invasion.

Your apologetics for atrocities is really disgusting.

The bolsheviks were chosen because Marxism is correct

You just sabotaged your last trace of credibility for approaching the subject rationally.

Marxism is a range of discourse that originated with a fallible individual and whose continuation has been by other fallible individuals who naturally are not in full agreement.

It is not an absolute truth or universal solution.

Too much blame on the individual and not enough blame on the system

I agree. Bibi is a symptom, not the actual malady.

If workers control production, then all are free to dissociate from the Party at will, to form a new party, or have no association with any party.

The facts are that the Party controls the state, and the state controls workers. Therefore, all workers are bound involuntary to one party that determines their fate.

Denying that Chinese workers are subordinated under state power is sophistry and apologetics.

Chinese workers do not control production in China.

Do you agree or disagree?

I am not interested in the deflections to apologetics.

You insist it is socialism.

When someone correctly objects that socialism not yet exists, you deflect and make excuses.

Socialism is worker control of production. Chinese workers being employed by companies in China is not socialism.

“AES” is obscurantist nonsense.

Defenses of “AES” always equivocate on whether it is actually socialism.

At best, the term is a deliberate lie, but the situation is much worse.

As soon as the characterization of socialism is challenged, it is walked backed, and the challenger is gaslighted for saying that what was said moments earlier was ever said.

“AES” is a nonsense concept defended by nonsense arguments.

I understand Stirner’s conception of the “spook” as a mental construct not directly representing material reality.

As a social structure, the state certainly is part of material reality. State ideology, such as nationalism and authority, might more readily be considered a spook.

For my part, the preferred term is “ideology”.

I’m fine, but I appreciate your genuine concern.

I admire the inclusivity.

It seems like a misguided policy, and not particularly consistent with the “Code of Conduct”.

Much of the value of the federated design is lost without the threat of defederation to incentivize good behavior and to isolate bad behavior.

I’m sorry you were forced to experience confusion.

I wish you well on your recovery.

As for “dissidents,” the large majority were landlords, slavers, fascists, capitalists, murderers, terrorists, etc.

“Terrorists” seems general enough to include anarchists.
