The guy from the post made himself an easy target since he assumed he had some superiority over the person he was "converting" because he's a marxist. Ive read and researched alot and even i dont think im superior than liberal (in terms of knowledge, morally is a different question) since there is alot i dont know.
Ive also hated the fallback of "i have direct experience so i am right and you are wrong" because i also have direct experience in certain things, and i am open to being challenged on them and even being wrong. I never lived in the Soviet Union or China, but if youre going to dismiss what I say by saying your uncle or dog lived in those countries and so you know more than me, i dont give a fuck. You can tell me the facts though, what did your uncle say about it? He didnt like it, ok why? Lets get down to the actual facts instead of some bullshit "you need to have lived in x in order to have an opinion"
Direct experience can also be very narrow and not really useful for a holistic overview of for example the soviet union.
