It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I will never read. I'm not even reading this site, I've hooked it up to a TTS-machine that slavishly reads out all text on the page. It does not follow linebreaks, instead it breaks up the entire screen on horizontal lines and then reads out each letter individually. When every letter had been pronounced individually it scrolls down then continues until the thread has been emptied. I then gather each letter in my mind palace and parse their meaning. Thus I avoid liberalism
I asked my mom and she's a highschool teacher and she says this still counts as reading
sorry

Capitalism is when you have treats.
Socialism is when you have a treat.
Communism is when Stalin eats your treat with his spoon.

its beautiful
I mean, what even is a "Dictatorship of the Proletariat" anyway?
I dunno, sounds authoritarian

The amount of idiots i've come across that think it means actual dictatorship is insane
"A dictatorship of everyone except the 20 people we all hate"
What's hilarious (or depressing) is that nearly 100 years ago now Americans still had these fucking brainworms. In 1936 Anna Louise Strong wrote:
Most Americans shrink from the word "dictatorship." "I don't want to be dictated to," they say. Neither, in fact, does anyone. But why do they instinctively take the word in its passive meaning, and see themselves as the recipients of orders? Why do they never think that they might be the dictators? Is that such an impossible idea? Is it because they have been so long hammered by the subtly misleading propaganda about personal dictatorships, or is it because they have been so long accustomed to seek the right to life through a boss who hires them, that the word dictatorship arouses for them the utterly incredible picture of one man giving everybody orders?
amerikkkans have never had a mindset of taking matters into their own hands and being the ones to dictate their society.
When your political understanding doesn't extend past the "Two Cows" poster in middle school.
Capitalism is where everything is owned by an individual
That's just not fair! Everything is split between 4 or 5 of us at least!
...
For the time being
was gonna say that, bit of an unintentional admission when they say "an individual" as opposed to "individuals"
I saw communism defined on 
today as "when one corporation owns everything and the people suffer under it" as opposed to now where a small few own everything and make us suffer.
Did not engage.
just ask 'what if two corporations own everything'
For whatever reason, the conversation didn't center around the idea that corporations shouldn't own everything. Steering it there was just going to get me nowhere. I have a head cold today, so if I wade back into that comments thread somehow, I'll post a link.
just sound them out for how many corporations owning everything is fine with them. is it 6 or maybe 7? because thats about right nowadays.
For real.
All you ever get when you expose their ignorance is "that's Russian talking points, sweaty"
The politics understander has logged on. 
I am genuinely curious how they came to this conclusion.
Well I did hide the full story, they were actually correcting another users idea of what capitalism, socialism and communism is
I upbeared you after, I swear 
It's entirely possible they were literally taught exactly that in a poli-sci class, or at least a highschool civics class. All of those are just basically just brainworm infestation programs.
Imagine studying poli-sci. "Yes I have a master's in being propagandized"
The marxism understanders have arrived
be afraid, liberals
And when the government does everything it's communism
