    All of these are fairly straightforward and easy to understand, it just takes a while to get into the nitty gritty

    i feel like everything’s “easy to understand” if you assume infinite time to explain it, but for the sake of argument, let’s agree that these in fact “easy to understand”

    in which case, the ideas behind pre-natal scanning and graduate family stimulus are also easy to understand, so we haven’t really moved anywhere.

    this post still doesn’t make any case for marxist ideals being sound other than “people like them when they hear them without the label”. which i’m arguing (via the use of the provided two examples) is also true for eugenics.

    and if “people like the ideas when they hear them without the label” is justification for ideas being good, then eugenics must be good, but we know eugenics isn’t good, so it’s not a good justification

    so the post doesn’t make a good argument for marxism being good

    and we already know the post is attempting to be an argument for why marxism is good, because you already acknowledged it’s making the case that “people have a negative connotations about marxism”, and combined with the point about nazis from earlier you enjoyed so much, that’s sufficient to show that it’s attempting to be an argument for why marxism is good

    Ah, “the trains ran on time.” We both know that’s not Nazism.

    what are you talking about? why are you trying to bring nazis into everything now?

    (also, “trains ran on time” is mussolini, who was a fascist, not a nazi)
