    I was actually really excited to reply to you because I can explain where our miscommunication is occurring. But then I skipped ahead and saw that you have devolved into an emotional wreck incapable of controlling yourself. This is textbook form of running away and painting someone you truly don’t know the first thing about with extreme, and I do mean extreme broad brush insults as well as… name calling? I just feel sorry for you now. This will be last message to you because I simply don’t continue with people who abandoned reason in the face of challenge. Best of luck to you.

      You are not leaving because “I am emotional”. You are leaving because your arguments were dismantled and you have no response that wouldn’t embarrass yourself further. Claiming I am an emotional wreck is the oldest deflection in the book. It is what people do when they cannot engage with substance. You never addressed a single point about productive forces, class character, or the material basis of policy. You just recycled orientalist tropes and techno-utopian fantasies. Now that those have been exposed you retreat behind a facade of moral superiority.

      You call it name calling. I call it accurate characterization. Your fetus skyscraper imagery is dehumanizing propaganda. Your dismissal of 900 million lifted from poverty is chauvinism. Your proposal for an infallible AI morals enforcer is fascist. These are not insults. They are accurate descriptions of what you actually wrote. If the truth feels like an attack that is a problem with your position not my delivery.

      You say you do not continue with people who abandon reason. Yet you are the one who refused to engage with historical materialism. You are the one who reduced complex historical processes to body count propaganda. You are the one who claimed capitalism could be moral if only we designed it better. That is not reason. That is idealism, a fairytale concocted in your mind to make you feel better.

      Do not pretend this is about civility. You were comfortable spouting orientalist lies and fascist dog whistles until someone actually pushed back. Now you want to exit with a sanctimonious farewell. That is cowardice. If you truly believed in distributed power and reasoned debate you would stay and engage. But you cannot. Because your position collapses under materialist analysis.

      Go ahead and block me. It will not change the fact that your arguments were refuted point by point. It will not erase the orientalism in your rhetoric. It will not make your techno-fascist solutions any more viable. You are not rising above. You are running away. And everyone who reads this thread will see which one of us actually engaged with substance and which one retreated when challenged.

      Bye bye piggie.
