@Liberty4Masses I could but then we get into the same problem you see communists argue.. namely "Oh well that wasnt a REAL communism, they didnt do it the right way".. thus bringing us back to where we started.
Thus it is quite intentional for me not to list specific countries, to demonstrate your logic is the same fallable logic we see when the communists are the ones in the cross hairs.
Dont get me wrong I do agree that libertarianism is superior to communism. But the absolutist "all communists are evil" trope is played out and not really needed.
@Liberty4Masses Well of course you can. you are a libertarian. You can list off countless communists states that most communists would quickly dismiss and claim it wasnt a "true" communism, or wasnt the sort of communism they themselves advocate for.
What I am pointing out is how you reacted mirrors almost exactly how communists would react. They can count off countless capitalist, libertarian or whatever else country as an example of why those ideologies fail but then in the same breath would claim they cant think of a single truely communist country.
Same rhetoric, flipped around.
Also I remind you again your statement "But can't name a single one".. I already said **any** country you name would be valid since every single country is murderous. The only one who cant name a single libertarian country in this conversation is you. I can think of many countries with libertarian policies, it just depends on which policies **you** see as a requirement to determine which one match your personal definition.
@freemo dude you know what you’re saying can’t be taken seriously and now you’re being ridiculous, saying that I’m at fault for not being able to name some imaginary thing that you suggested but refuse to give any examples of. You know you’re arguing in bad faith, you’re being extremely disingenuous, do not do that with me.
@Liberty4Masses I dont think you are at fault for anything, I'm sorry if that seemed antagonistic, that wasnt my intent.
I'm just saying the way you displayed blind hate for everything communist, and the way you express that, is almost an exact mirror of how the communists speak about libertarians.
I don't dig it, and i think there is far too much nuance for that sort of thinking to be useful. But that is not the same thing as saying I think your at fault for something, that is too harsh of a wording for my tastes.
@freemo I could easily name numerous communist states that fit my description. If you’re going to base your rebuttal on so-called murderous ‘libertarian’ countries, but can’t name a single one, I don’t understand how you would expect anyone to accept your argument.
