Tbh did you read this thread? lemmy.ml made these capitalists look like completely unread simpletons, it's genuinely embarrasing on their side

Most people don't become Marxist-Leninists without doing a lot of reading, in my experience.

The biggest flaw with communism is that you have to actually read instead of trusting a propaganda mill blindly and uncritically to become one.

some utterly propagandized capitalist will read this and think we're the propagandized ones, hilariously not realizing all they have is strawmen they didn't even come up with themselves and things they didn't fact check even the tiniest bit.

There’s propaganda on both sides

yeah in the same way that there's guns and shootings all over the world but they're almost all concentrated in one place... american schools.

either way, communists are vastly more prepared to deal with propaganda because in capitalist societies critical thinking is destroyed by nearly every institution that can teach it.

if you go by this thread one side has nothing but propaganda. There was not one valid argument made on the capitalist side when I read this thread, I could've better argued for capitalism, it's pathetic.

closest they got was china is mean to uyghurs, but capitalists do genocide every 5 seconds so that's hardly a pro capitalist argument. At least the chinese, if they are covering it up, have the decency to cover it up, capitalists brazenly and openly happily do it, and support it!

So I'm scrolling back up to reply to you after reading more. I actually don't see most of the capitalist comments lol. I see a bunch of replies to removed comments that really don't tell me anything about how the other side is replying.
