    Okay, that was a definition error on my part. I separate socialism and communism as two different things. My point was that as a Marxist, you consider communism to be the ultimate and most desirable stage, so essentially you’re selling communism when you’re selling socialism. I, on the other hand, am completely fine with socialism being the terminus.

    I’m aware that cowbee isn’t a socialist. However, my discussions with them have made me appreciate leftist ideologies a bit more than i used to. Particularly socialism. I still think communism is too extreme and a recipe for failure

    Also, i think most criticisms of Marxism on Lemmy is the echo chamber echoing rather actual rebuttals

    Sexual fantasies about furries🤨? Me? I really don’t know where you got this assumption from. I don’t discriminate against furries nor would i hesitate to talk to one. It doesn’t still change the fact that the specific furry I’m referring to’s behaviour is weird, and probably indicative of a mental illness.

    I rest my case

    Fair enough, you may have misunderstood my initial statement. I will once again clarify. I meant to say to stop validating abnormal behaviours that are likely mental illnesses. Now, you can make the claim that if someone wants to act like a furry even though it might be a mental illness, then let them be. But i know that if i ever had a child that exhibited these tendencies, i would want them to seek help for it, because it is NOT NORMAL - at least in my opinion.

    Also, I don’t mean to say that there’s a mental illness necessarily causing these tendencies, rather it is the fact that these furry tendencies - the ones that I’ve described - are in and of themselves a mental illness.

    It’s entirely possible that i am wrong, and that it is not a mental illness, but i would bet big money that it is one.
