Debating communism with liberals is the easiest thing in the world. You know that feeling where you wish you had a script to follow in social situations? Well with this you basically do.

That’s because it’s the exact same debate every single time. The same gotchas, the same cliches, the same tropes and there is nothing new under the sun. It’s like you’re fed the arguments beforehand.

Now with some other topics you might sometimes encounter angles you haven’t considered or arguments you didn’t anticipate and have to come up with counterarguments on the spot, but with communism it’s basically Groundhog Day where you know everything in advance and know exactly what you need to do to reach the desired conclusion.

It’s just variations of “but have you considered George Orwell 1984?” and they act like they’re the first person to ever bring it up.

My favorite part is when they use their epic own trump card and it’s just the same sad heap of bullshit from the last thousand times.

    I just tell them that Orwell was socialist and 1984 is actually about the UK and USA

    What’s a little bit of stretching the truth when they are openly lying
