im just confused more than anything

> "You, in fact, are capable of independent thought and deciding for your own what is right in life. You dont need to listen to a several thousand year old book that was authored and edited by several people, translated countless times, versions and entire books lost, abridged by leaders, and interpreted differently millions or billions of times"
@Ari
You do seem to be able to think for yourself. It isn't wrong for you to listen to a several thousand year book but it isn't necessarily right either. It is ultimately your decision on what you think is right and wrong.

Thank you

"But it's like going from a communist country to a capitalist country: the options and freedom are then paralyzing. It's the same story with outsourcing political beliefs to those we deem competent"

by definition there is no "communist country"

Oh, also, this person is a Communist, forgot to mention that, before

"Rather pleased on how the election turned out. I suppose quite a number of even the most economy-minded people who previously supported Trump on the idea of him improving the economy turned their heads quite a bit, and that being economically prosperous doesn’t mean if you and economy-related workers like bankers are in hospital beds with covid due to irresponsible approaches. Here’s to a better year for 2021."
Some other person came into the chat to say that-

oh ew

LOL

he realizes that the president has very little to do with the economy right?

i just- ughhh

Hard to believe that with China, NK, Romania, Turkey and Azerbaijan

those are still "communist countries"

China is not communist. At most it's fascist or state socialist.

By definition a country cannot be communist. It's literally an oxymoron.

Right.... sure...

communism has never been implemented to its most deep details from my understanding

*coughs* USSR *coughs*

The USSR wasn't communist either.

"Communism (from Latin communis, 'common, universal')[1][2] is a philosophical, social, political, economic ideology and movement whose ultimate goal is the establishment of a communist society, namely a socioeconomic order structured upon the ideas of common ownership of the means of production and the absence of social classes, money[3][4] and the state.[5][6]"

from my understanding, that wasnt fully implemented communism

>absence of social classes, money, **and the state**

*insert kek face because no argument here*

lul

it would be nice if u would talk this out with us

aye

No, just believe what you want, I grow tired of the ideology wars

"I don't understand definitions so I'm not going to engage"

Oh nice, putting words in my mouth

> No, just believe what you want, I grow tired of the ideology wars
@PantherUnit01 eh. i bet i agree with u on many, many things due to me leaning right but still being moderate

I mean, I'm probably more right wing than a lot of you.

not when you believe in the failure of globalism

if i know u correctly rice, u support trumps ideologies but you believe hes trying to undermine democracy

no seriously, I'm very right wing
