Communism is very much the goal.

But communism where absolutely everybody gets the same thing hasn't been argued for in a while (at least I haven't seen it past arguing with Republicans it's a bad idea).

That's not Communism. Communism posits "From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs." Read Critique of the Gotha Programme.

I only made that point cause that's what I keep having to argue, not that's what I actually belive. That's why I made a note saying that's what I argue against Republicans.

But again, that's what Republicans tend to think so that's what I argue. But continue going off. Cause again. I've had the conversation irl WITH REPUBLICANS thinking that's what communism is.

Why try to meet Republicans at their level? That's a more reasonable strategy for almost-radicalized liberals, and even then it can backfire.

Because I live in a bright red area, and some people I would call friends I'd rather try to set straight instead of not talk to them.
