  • I think you’re demanding a level of nuance and details from the answers that aren’t about the use cases of the noobs like me and OP.

    I know you are right in specific Arch Man use cases, but by the time people will be ready or interested in going down that road, they will have better context and understanding and will not need to be convinced by anyone in this thread. They’ll be talking to you, by that point, and there will be no misunderstanding. These are different users.

    Calling this guy an asshole isn’t necessary.









  • I think a disatisfying but to me still helpful answer involves reframing this question to ask why we should go for the capitalistic liberal system, with all of the same sorts of questions, in addition to the disparity, the homelessness, the desperation, the war machine, et cetera.

    At the end of the day, defending honest failures as if they were intentional actions is something socialists or communists are repeatedly asked to do. The better question, and the more interesting question, is “what do we practically learn from x mistake and how do we avoid replicating it?” On online forums you may get people earnestly trying to answer, or someone who wants to argue. You might even get radio silence. I would, in a way, expect the last one, since we’re trying to solve the world’s problems.

    Regardless, remember that the goal is not to do a socialism, the goal is to build a better world. Sorry for a meandering response. :)
