Something that keeps showing that Marxist analysis is actually the proper understanding of the world, at least to me, is the fact that people can't argue against it, all they can do is attack the position by censoring them and claiming they believe things they clearly don't.
This drives me up the wall more than it should. I know libs are acting in bad faith, so I shouldn't be surprised when they do things like this.
"Commies will say 'not real communism' every time!"
"Actually, the USSR was real communism and it was based. It was in the process of transitioning to a classless, stateless, moneyless society but for a variety of reasons, ultimately failed and collapsed."
"SEE! HE SAID 'NOT REAL COMMUNISM!'"
"No, I didn't. I said the opposite, while acknowledging the reality the Soviet experiment failed."
"Wow authoritarian 1984 Voldemort!"
"Kind of a meaningless term, since all governments are authoritarian. No government in history has ever allowed ideological enemies to organize a seperate government within the same state. Except when the US does it, it gets labeled "freedom and liberty," but when China does it, it gets the 'authoritarian' label."
"WHATABOUTISM!"
....is usually how those conversations go. Often, you can type out the lib response before them. Outright reactionaries are even easier to predict.
Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?
