    If this was really the case then the onus would be leftists to articulate in simpler language. You can’t mobilize the common folk if you can speak the common language.

    But most of the time its either the liberals lack the prerequisite historical knowledge or they just have antiegalitarian values.

    Seems to be directed against me. Just want to make clear I dislike the (current) capitalist system and would not describe myself as a liberal. But I also see the benefits of a free market and the reasons why communism failed. ~> I ain’t extremist and see the need of a sustainable free market capitalism

      Yes, given the rest of your comment, this is directed precisely at you.

      There’s no such thing as sustainable Capitalism, and Communism remains the answer.

      The benefits of a free market have been discussed by communists in the past, and newer experiments like the reforms implemented by China make it clear that socialism is compatible with a free market, to very good results.

      Thanks for engaging with OP in a civil fashion, especially when you felt attacked… Anyway, hmu if you want to discuss this in more depth.
