ridicule & humor (making fun of inconsistencies and making fun of conspiracy thoery believers) and logical breakdown (providing statistics and illogical structure notes) are equally effective at reducing belief in a Jewish superconspiracy: <https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.01525/full> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/418850379518705675/540432297199927297/fpsyg-07-01525-g001.png
@Deleted User Bruh he says that I say it the right way
```Thus, peasant “rules of reproduction” shielded the peasantry from the compulsions of a capitalist market, ruling out specialization, systematic innovation, and capital accumulation — and raising great domestic barriers to maintaining, let alone collectively developing — the forces of production. When bad harvests in the late 1920s triggered a crisis of the NEP, peasants did not allow the solution to it at their expense. When the crisis ended, they were providing grain as before.
The mir enforced customary law and order without having to organize separate bodies of armed men to do so: expulsion from the commune was the ultimate sanction. There was no state in the Marxist sense of the term. Indeed, elected officials continued to perform all kinds of peasant labor, acted under the control of public opinion, and were leaders only insofar as they advanced the common interests of the peasants — and if they didn’t, they were immediately recallable.
In short, the peasant community was truly a political economy. No economic process alone — the exogenous pressures of “capitalism” or of the “world market” — could erode it. Forced collectivization alone destroyed it — a political process initiated by Stalin in 1929.```
