  • Stalinism only seems different because it’s named after the dude, maybe fascism is a more generic term. All the person your responding to is saying is that it’s as natural an argument to say that communism leads naturally to fascism (honestly in a really similar argument to yours by saying the state isn’t distinct from the ruling class and that power naturally condenses to the top in the system.)

    I could make a million arguments getting into the nuance of it, as I’m sure you could too. That’s just what the person is saying.


  • Right… Yeah in aggregate. Just cause you see a counterfactual in person doesn’t make it true. That’s how it works…

    And it’s strange, you say you can’t speak to that personally because you saw a line around the block, so what about the person who gave a personal anecdote to the opposite? You both have stories that contradict each other. How does this square in your framework?
