    Careful about stuff like this.

    We are not speaking of liberalism; we are speaking of the bourgeoisie, which is a parasite on society.

        The author of this thread—a friend of mine—invited me here. I’m not a spy. :))))

        As for liberalism, it is alien to me—please forgive me. As I mentioned earlier, I was born in the “Evil Empire,” where there was no liberalism.

        You know… I was born in the USSR, and to this day, I still don’t fully understand what liberalism is.

        Perhaps you could enlighten me, Comrade?.. )))

      Yes, someone else here clarified that this community is more of a roleplaying thing. I didn’t know that before commenting.

        English is not my native language. I would appreciate it if you could be more specific. What do you mean by “role-playing games”?

          Roleplaying games are a form of entertainment where people will act in the role of some fictional character, typically in a fantasy world, with others; like Dungeons and Dragons.

          My use of it here is both as a joke and a genuine expression of disappointment in the lack of real engagement with socialist scholarship and ideas I’ve seen in this brief interaction.

            Real socialist scholarship is when you don’t know the difference between personal and private property

            “fictional character, typically in a fantasy world, with others; like Dungeons and Dragons.”

            I already mentioned that I am not a native English speaker. I don’t know what “in a fantasy world, with others; like Dungeons and Dragons” means.

            " in the lack of real engagement with socialist scholarship and ideas"

            Then again, I don’t understand what—in your view, or in the opinion of your socialist friends—constitutes “socialist scholarship and ideas.” I would be very interested to hear this, particularly as someone who lived under actual socialism and remembers perfectly well what it is and what it looks like in practice.

            And please also clarify: what exactly was it about my words that made you laugh? Even if I am a “role-player”—as you put it—I don’t mind.
