That is my matrix username
I respond to a someone probably exploring communism asking about a term with an emphasis on the deleting of certain posts spreading misinformation, which might miss guide the person asking the question into some kind of vaushist "leftism" or turn them off from exploring marxism. The specific posts spreading misinformation are claiming a very accusatory claim used by western imperialists to make a government look bad, which in a less fortunate country that is just developing, could be the result of support for a coup to put in a puppet government. Whether you support that claim which is objectively false (https://tankie.tube/w/p/kFZ2joQah4kmt2KSpzPHtb?playlistPosition=6&resume=true <-- is an entertaining starter with sources) is irrelevant when people think these people spreading such disinformation are some kind of heroes.
Ah, makes sense.
That also makes sense, mostly, i disagree with some of it on a logical principle level, but i really don't have a personal horse in any of the political parts i also don't know/care enough to get one.
All the things you said might be true, they all might be false, though i suspect they're all subjective enough to be context dependent, i also suspect we aren't going to agree on the difference between subjective and objective, which is my main disagreement with the statement as a whole.
My main point was, there were answers that are now deleted, that is provably true.
The subjective accuracy of those answers isn't really the point and no claim was made on that aspect.
Also, the implied /s for "mysterious" didn't land and that's on me.
