I vaguely remember a user debunking this claim but I cannot find that comment and I don’t remember what post it was on.

      The fact remains you can start new parties that aren’t capitalist and advocate their views as long as you are not advocating violence.

      That is ahistorical. As a polisci major you should have learned about McCarthyism.

      Buddy, you really think that was condescending? Ooh boy.

      You aren’t the one calling the shots here champ. This is a Marxist Leninist instance. That means that you should try and understand the Marxist Leninist point of view before smugly telling us we’re all wrong.

      I’ve given you sources, I’ve told you about trying to understand that your perspective isn’t the only one, and you call me condescending, that’s an awful big word there slugger, well done!

      You clearly aren’t actually interested in learning, so please take your smug elsewhere, it isn’t welcome here. I’m not interested in a “debate” with someone who demands I be “civil” by not calling them out when they say bullshit. You’ve been trying to shove multiple different societies into simplistic labels rather than trying to understand any of them. It’s a shame you took Pol-Sci instead of Anthropology, you’d probably have a better set of tools to understand this stuff that way.

      You accuse me of saying a triangle has more than three sides, but have you considered that maybe I’m talking about squares and pentagons as well as triangles? And you’re the only one here insisting every shape is triangular?

      This is for the lurkers, an essay on how this sort of thinking is so prevalent in yankees:

          I’ve repeatedly tried to tell you that your worldview isn’t the only one, and your only response is to assume malice on my part, rather than consider that you are not in fact the arbiter of all that is True and Good in the world.

          It’s kind of outrageous that a simple concept: “There are more points of view than your own” is apparently lost on you. Just because you can’t understand that concept doesn’t mean you are correct. Get your head out of your own ass. Though obviously, you never will, because you love the smell of your own farts too much. You clearly aren’t here in good faith, you’re just here to lecture us about how we should all sniff our own assholes and call that political theory.
