This is such a low-effort reply that you have earned a return: if my take is stupid, yours is completely retarded. Calling someone’s perspective “stupid” out of ignorance and not being able to prove why is way worse.

I don't have time to expand the theory with the believers here. It is not very worthwhile because it is basically like trying to preach Christianity to Islamists or vice-versa.

Meanwhile, here is a paste of my previous reply, maybe you'll find the door.

I strongly disagree. I don't know whether he would identify himself as a communist politically, but it doesn't matter. Furthermore, I am entitled to analyze his ideas and classify them as I please. And as far as I'm concerned, he is arguing about fruits of labor being free in the typical “comrade” idealization from communism.

If at least he was actually doing what he preaches, one could be charitable. But actually he is just a goddamn activist, endlessly arguing about why the work of others should be free while he does zero work of value himself.

Every far-left friend I have had, who always touts some form of communism or sharing of resources, has been the one who systematically shares the least. And that is true both from a material point of view and effort/labor perspective as well. Hence my conclusion that they are assholes.

It seems to have hurt the sensibilities of his followers, but that was expected, and since they are assholes, you cannot expect them to be truthful.

By the way, political ideology is identifiable in genetics, so yes, it is absolutely certain that your political ideas correlate with how you interact with people.
