    MLs are cool as long as it is “their” billionaires. See China pumping out more billionaires than the US and Russian oligarchy. These billionaires good, US bad.

    I personally hate all billionaires so I can’t see eye to eye with them.

        Because they have told me so on many occasions.

        I once had a lot of respect for leftists, that was before I got to know ML.

        Now I rarely run into a leftist I can agree with. The majority here are campists who live in an alternative reality of Russian/China disinformation.

              Or just an accurate understanding of what Marxism is. Saying that a Marxist can approve of billionaires is like saying a MAGA can loathe Trump. Like sure, maybe one or two people exist who identify that way, but it’s fundamentally the opposite of the ideology. I think it’s far more likely that you’ve just made up a straw man, if we’re throwing around logical fallacies.

                We were talking about ML not your true scotsman.

                I find it funny you have to argue with my personal experience with ML and even funnier to say it is a strawman. Cheers!
