A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Sir, you’re not the only person who’s read it.

Then you'd like to think you could bother to quote from it, rather than running to the "Communism is when Bad" definition you found on the back of a cereal box.

It was the Marian Webster dictionary. I provided you a link to it.

Let me ask you a question. Are you some kind of idiot?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There it is. Out of any coherent response so we're down to name calling

You keep dancing around this idea that there is some definition of communism contained in a manifesto.

I provided you with the official dictionary definition of communism, and you dismissed it as "the back of a cereal box."

You still have not engaged with anything I have actually said or provided any meaningful response to the points I raised. Instead, you continue to act as though the answer must exist somewhere in a document that you have not actually identified.

My question was mostly rhetorical because idiots generally do not know they are idiots. There is no way for someone to answer a question about their own inability to recognize their mistakes. And since you immediately assumed I was simply calling you a name, that reaction seems to confirm the very point I was making.
