Quote of the Day
How do you tell a Communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

Although you can be an anti-Communist without understanding Marx and Lenin, it does help. It certainly helped me to read The Communist Manifesto.

I had to write a significant paper while working on an advanced college degree regarding societal development. Marxism was one of three societal theories I needed to review and then compare and contrast with the other two. I can say that Marxism was the most disconnected from reality bunch of postulates that I had seen. Marx had a significant axe to grind and was seriously blind to anything that would in any way be in opposition to his goal.
It’s fascinating to see “reading” develop into “understanding” in a person.
As someone else said, there’s no anti-Communist like a former Communist.
(See also: the difference between “intelligence” and “wisdom”.)
How do you tell a communist?
Wherever you find yourself, learn what the MSM is saying. Then start talking loudly about an opposing point of view. They come out of the woodwork.
They are very easy to trigger. They can’t help themselves; it’s the brainwashing.
Think of eating a giant ribeye in a vegan convention. You’re going to hear about it.
As opposed to “what”, you tell a communist?
Ya, ha, very funny. Now please kneel in front of ditch.
If you think that’s harsh? It’s nothing they wouldn’t have someone else do to you for miss gendering them. And they were only a few votes short of being able to do that very thing.
