Turning the corner on "woke"?

[SHARK]

What odds is anyone offering on the children in that household growing up with mental issues?

I doubt he's even got kids or a wife or has been to college. I'm starting to suspect another sockpuppet troll.

Pundit and the admins need to do some gatekeeping.  I already know that well liked long time user asked to have his account deleted and left this site.

Greetings!

WHO, Snowman?

Why did this member you are talking about leave the website here?

I'm pretty sure gatekeeping is exactly what Pundit is opposed to. If someone left, that's their choice and it should be respected.

  I agree on the no gate keeping.  If the person is a sock puppet, I suspect it will show at some point.  I do not get that signal as yet.  As for the wife and kids...seemed an odd thing to mention, especially along with a vacation, but far from the biggest oddity I have read on the site.

   Wasn't it the dude who posted the naked forest girl in an attempt to get banned?

If that is Brad, then yes.

...and we're back to the old "but 'true' communism has never been tried" argument...

Sure it has. Just read the second chapter of Acts in the Bible. Sts. Peter and James were the first Communists, and Marxism is a deeply Christian philosophy. Not that the Leninism, Trotskyism, or Maoism that followed were at all Christian, but they sure wanted to be Marxist, even though neither Russia nor China had either a true proletariat nor well-developed enough means of production to make a real go of it other than in limited areas.

Not to mention that most labor unions are far closer to Marx and Engels' ideal of communism than the People's Republic of China has ever managed.

Every time I see you people using the term "Marxist", I also wince (just like when you're using "woke") because it doesn't seem like you have any idea what Karl Marx actually wrote, or who Friedrich Engels might even be, or what Marxism actually is other than "Something I dislike for reasons I can't explain other than it seems to be liberal or leftist."

Can't tell if trolling or just stupid

Oh, you said "well liked" and I didn't figure you could possibly be talking about B-rad.

You get banned for naked forest girls now? Asking for a friend

[Shasarak]

Damn things are called flex cuffs, zip-cuffs, or disposable handcuffs. Whee.

And now I'm off for a vacation with my wife and kids, something most of you probably know nothing about. See you all in about a week.

That's true, I know nothing of your wife and kids.

  I wince when I see people pretending to have actually read all of Das Capital and act like they were awake/remembered much of it.  Manifesto is manageable, but Marx was a terrible fucking writer.

More like Engels was a fucking terrible editor. I know I got through all of the Manifesto, and I think I finished Das Kapital. But my reading list was insane when I was in Junior High and Highschool (because my dad was *really* *really* into giving me a Liberal Education (tm)). Plato's Republic and Discourses, Huxley's Brave New World, The Analects of Confucius, Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, and a selection of Existentialists from Dostoevsky to Sartre. As well as Camus' The Stranger, Dianetics, the Book of Mormon, and the Bible (the last with Koine Greek lessons so I could read "the original"). I've been clocked reading theology textbooks at a page per minute for content. My brain does not work normally, I don't think.

I find it very ironic that "anti-capitalist" leftist zealots such as yourself are just useful idiots and unwitting pawns for neoliberal corporatists.

   Was not Brad.   I am surprised he would leave.  Some of his interactions did look to me as if he was probably turning red IRL while typing them (and I can understand that).

   I think Pundit deleted the pic, and refused to delete the dude's history (was not Brad).  I think he didnt ban him either.   Edited to add.....or was it Brad after a name change?  hmm.

The discord was named Brad and I had not seen Brad at all lately on this site.

[moonsweeper]

He changed his name here before he 'left'.
I quoted him from an older post the other day and in my quote it showed as Brad.
