It’s a very altruistic idea on paper for sure. It appeals to the goodness of people. Unfortunately people are not good.

It’s a hard truth to accept. I will admit, I was once one. And then I realized that people suck.

They aren’t thought terminating. They’re pragmatic. Communism can exist free and clear in thoughts and discussions, it is not feasible in the real world.

I never denied that either, you downvoted because you assumed. I don’t defend either system

assumed what exactly? i never thought you were denying or would deny that you're the other side of the coin - you're actually assuming that about me buddy

yeah basically everybody who uses thought terminating cliches thinks they're being pragmatic or that it's "obvious" or "common sense". that's what led you to the thought terminating cliche in the first place. you're just easing the intellectual burden on yourself by presupposing your opinions are fundamental truths and avoiding critical thought

Brother I used to think communism was the end all be all. It’s not. I learned. I grew up. I realized that it either doesn’t truly exist or devolves into autocracy. So do most forms of capitalism. What critical thought is there to have? We have evidence of these things having happened?

Dude I fucking study history. I do the most damn critical thinking on this shit. It just doesn’t work, plain and simple. We can discuss the virtues of it as a concept, but it’s evident that society just cannot be communist unless it is in name only.

yoy can be dismissive and project your feelings onto me but you, again, are (seemingly intentionally) refusing to answer what exactly you're accusing me of assuming. you can just admit that you're all out of steam and upset that you're being challenged to think instead of just presuming your own rightness. it's totally fine

Some of your comments contain literal examples of thought terminating cliches if you look it up ("It just doesn't work" is for sure one) Studying history doesn't magically make you knowledgeable. Plenty of morons with degrees out there who know the bare minimum to pass (not to mention the proliferation of AI cheating) You're an anti-intellectual trying to justify your anti-intellectualism with thought terminating cliches. Simple as that

Don't bother. These dunces will drag you down to their intellectual lows and beat you with their stupidity. They've admitted they are actively avoiding critical thinking and engagement. No point

I mean but we can talk on and on about theory, because that’s what it is, it exists in the realm of thought just fine! Like a utopia. You are intentionally missing my clarification that we have evidence and examples of why and how it does not function properly in the real world. Pragmatism does not care for the quibbles of what is and is not thought terminating, it cares about what works. Communism is philosophy, not a realistic economic and social model that can be applied in real life.

I guess they don’t like talking about the real world. I’m all for a good conversation about political and economic philosophy. There’s merits to any ideal type of society, it’s just there’s uneven application of their usefulness in the context of real life.

you still haven't managed to figure out what you were accusing me of assuming? yeesh dude. projecting your own hater ass attitude and unwillingness to engage in meaningful conversation is hilarious. i was right. y'all just said a bunch of thought terminating cliches, you specifically refused to answer a basic question about your accusation, and then danced around questions and opted for insults instead. you're clearly an overconfident recent high school grad
