I'm not being hostile. You are reading that, based on nothing more than your interpretation.

This is a gross misrepresentation of what socialists believe.

I never said this is what socialist believe. Now you are reading into something I never said. I simply said I've actually had a conversation with more than one tankie that has used those EXACT words. I also never name called, unless you find Tankie offensive. Which I only called you that, because you are using the exact same arguments that tankies do. I also don't need a history lesson on hopes, dreams, and ideal situations that never happened. You should really count the amount of times you said "belief", "believe", or "possible."

I agree that marxist-leninists have authoritarian tendencies, but I believe that results from their belief that power should be centralized under the state to establish a “dictatorship of the proletariat,” not from their socialist economics.

This is nothing more than a belief that never happens and history has shown that.

You're recommending things that you don't even understand and likely never read yourself.
