Seems more like a dodge for you to avoid making an argument, but you do you. Don’t know what you mean by claiming I’m not a Communist, either, who counts as a Communist in your eyes?
Considering Communism as a Mode of Production refers to a relatively far-future, fully publicly owned global economy, humanity hasn’t reached Communism and thus by your definition nobody has ever been a Communist. This, of course, isn’t true, a Communist is someone who generally follows Communist ideology and wishes to bring about Communism.
This is just a non-sequitor no true Scotsman, and seems to be deflection.
Would you rather me identify as Marxist-Leninist? That’s the specific type of Communist I am.
Now that we have presumably gotten through that part, I’m entirely down to talk about whatever it is your machine example is supposed to prove, if you’re willing to elaborate more on what your hypothetical is for.
Bravo on showing such respectful and good-natured civility towards someone who is undoubtedly a troll. I applaud your restraint. However, I think you entertained their obvious bad faith arguing for far too long. It’s quite clear that they are hostile towards communism and are being deliberately combative and insulting to try and get a reaction out of someone. Unfortunately, as the Reddit floodgates begin to burst, I am sure many more trolls and hostile reactionaries whilr be flooding Lemmy for the forseeable future. Stay strong, comrade <3

Please elaborate on what you mean, your thought experiment made no sense. And yes, I’m a Communist, correct.

You practice communism? You subsist from a communist system solely?

Call it a deflection if you want, I call it being correct.

We both know if my machine has any value, it’d be taken away from me. That’s really all I need to know.
Exactly the type of reply I’d expect.
