But that doesn't, I mean, I agree with what you're saying, except the one thing we started this with, which is the appeal of communism is to push back against the Nazis, right?

But why wouldn't you just, I don't know, why wouldn't the ideology be like, we're against Nazism or we're for liberal democracy?

No, because I guess the reason I'm saying is like, I would say I am anti-Nazi and pro-democracy, right?

And I am.

I'm also not a communist.

So why is communism the appealing version of those statements?

No, no.

Well, I know what words mean.

But this is the problem is like, I know what words mean, right?

So I know that Nazis exist.

And by the way, there are some Nazis on the right, including in the US, and you can see them, right?

But I also know what a Nazi is.

And therefore, someone who has right wing or centrist opinions like me is not a Nazi.

If you are a postmodernist, they do, right?

I actually think in a way you probably are, but the structure that underpins that is different.

But you're trying to point at the same thing, which is whatever it is that is greater than human beings somewhere.

And I'm pointing to the sky because that's kind of how people visualize it.

But what progressives do, and this is really worth discussing, I think, is what they do is they, if I say the word cabbage, there's a hundred types of cabbage, but you know what I'm talking about, right?

Yeah, sure.

And what a progressive will do in a debate, as you referenced, is they'll pretend they don't know what a cabbage is.
