You could try destroying the ideas in open debate instead of trying to shout them down via 1984 style two minute hate sessions.

Capitalism is sick. The media is bought and owned by oligarchs and the public has their nose too close to the grind stone to have any time to figure out the real truth and thus our democracy has become compromised. We're heading towards feudalism with a thin veneer of capitalism plastered over it. The answer is not communism, but until you're willing to admit some change must be done the communists will continue to gain traction.

Communism has been consistently destroyed in "public open debate" for DECADES now- and there's still people screaming, begging for it.

Eventually, actions must take the place of words. How many different ways should you have to explain "communism doesn't work, never has, never will" before you come to terms with "these people are insane, and no matter what I say, no matter how many bodies we show them, they will NEVER get it."?

Not an argument. Communism being terrible doesn't excuse the fact that capitalism is sick and it's destroying our nation and our democracy.

Don't dishonestly conflate capitalism with crime, corruption, and regulatory capture with crony capitalism.

Where do you think crime, corruption, regulatory capture, and cronyism came from? Capitalism concentrates wealth until even the government is for sale. When a company has saturated the market, the only way left to grow is via rent seeking. It's called Late Stage Capitalism for a reason.

Marxists don't engage in "open debate" you stupid faggot. Rules for Radicals is their playbook and subversion/deceit is their key tactic IN ALL THINGS.

Marxists don't exist in a vacuum. If you keep picking everyone's pockets with neoliberal crony capitalism, they will continue to grow. If you fix the system and start hanging the neoliberals, no one will listen to the marxists.
