Nothing you said rebutted the section of my comment you quoted, you just started fighting strawmen

Don't try and lie so blatantly. I directly responded to your implication that Marx just wasn't thinking about things clearly.

In my opinion, Marx wrote his conclusion first, then cherry picked the points in history that supported his conclusion.

Nothing in that implies what you're accusing me of

Oh, get fucked if you're gonna try the pedantic game. Go ahead and tell me how I got it wrong and what you really meant if you're gonna try this sleazy tactic. Otherwise, stfu with your bollocks.

Oh ok, what I really meant was:

In my opinion, Marx wrote his conclusion first, then cherry picked the points in history that supported his conclusion.

You're gonna have to try a little harder than just repeating yourself.

Why shouldn't I? I stand by my original point and you've done nothing to rebut it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can claim I haven't, but anyone with a brain can see my original response and see that I in fact have.

Me:

You:

I can't fathom the arrogance of people who say "Marx just didn't think of x, y or z"

Please, enlighten me how I said that

Is this a fucking joke? Your own quote there shows you claiming he just wrote down whatever he thought would prove his already decided conclusion, and didn't bother to think about it properly.

I can't deal with your trash.
