    You can’t just kill Socialism into existence, though. That’s Idealism, not Materialism. That removes the entire process of Historical Materialism, and erases the foundations of Scientific Socialism, as opposed to Utopianism. I recommend reading or revisiting Socialism: Utopian and Scientific.

        That’s “tankier” than the “tankies” you demonize, though. Kinda just confused here.

            You got temp-banned from a different comm for breaking the rules, I don’t think picking fights is a good usage of your time to be honest.

                  That you yourself used a word I was banned for using, because apparently it’s so insulting it shouldn’t ever be used. And you will twist the truth in knots to defend the fact that I was punished just for using the word tankie. Oops. There I go again. But I guess its okay to use again since you’re doing it.

                    Pretty different context, I was asking for clarification from someone who used “tankie” unironically to ask them what they meant, you used it as an unironic insult, and further this is a different comm.

                You understand the difference between actually using a word and referring to said word’s past usage by others, right?
