I don’t even vaguely understand what you’re saying or what your interpretation of these words could be from this post.

“Citing the fact that Russia has increasing support for socialism as proof of Russians having increased support for socialism is perfectly valid.”

can you rephrase this sentence in your own words?

then

can you explain why he would say this?

he did not try to point out that i misunderstood it

what do you think this post is?

And no, I’m not apologising to anyone. I made an error and i admit to that. That’s about as much as you’ll get from me.

this doesn’t change the fact that you should.

That is both very obviously what he was saying and also makes all of his responses to you make sense, also it is very easily inferred, you just went with a very bad faith interpretation for no apparent reason.

you should apologize.

@Cowbee@lemmy.ml can you confirm

That is not what he said at all, he was explaining why he supports russia, you completely misunderstood his point, reread the conversation.

a simplified version of his claim:

“i support socialism, russia is strategically beneficial for socialism because they trade with socialists and may one day be socialist, as evidenced by [the poll in question], socialism being on the rise in russia is part of the reason i support them over western powers.”

see how at no point in that claim did he say that socialism is good because it has popular support?

you didn’t understand the assertion and guessed what he was saying and then treated him poorly based on that misinterpretation, you should apologize.

honestly why would anyone argue that socialism is good because a country likes it??

No, he cited that poll because he supports socialism and russia is in favor of socialism. He did not say socialism is good because of the poll.

i know a bunch of nigerians who disagree with you and say it isn’t common.

now that we’ve cancelled eachother out in order to continue this you’ll need to find a poll.

But he didn’t do that so…?

quote the part where he said we should do socialism because of a nostalgia poll?

Do you believe that communism is only valid if communists have never made mistakes?

do you think capitalists have never made mistakes on the scale of the sparrows issue?

This is amongst the most pathetic interactions i have ever seen.

Marxists define states and governments as two separate things, you should look into this before you ask this question

Communists as a whole use the original meanings of the terms and not the modern ones.

what does it even matter, this has nothing to do with anything, cowbee supports socialism?

what exactly is your argument, that its bad that they’re supporting socialism because some people support colonialism?

cowbees argument is essentially they are bad but they help socialists and they may become socialist again, how is it relevant in any way that africa supports colonialism?
