    I didn’t define it boss, read the comment then get rude of that’s your prerogative but at the very least keep up with the conversation.

        So you’re going to be rude instead of making a point?

        I didn’t define anything dipshit the other person did and I responded.

        I asked how they were different not the same, you should read the comment chain rather then be rude for no fucking reason.

          I am making the point. The point is that you can’t just take a handful of things Mao did, that tons of other people have also done, and say that anyone who does those things is a “Maoist.” Whether it’s “making a plan to promote industrialization with government involvement” or “writing words.”

          Virtually every country that went through a period of industrialization would be “Maoist” by this standard.

          I didn’t define anything dipshit

          Yeah and that’s part of the problem. Because you have no understanding of what the label you’re using actually means.

          I asked how they were different not the same

          The onus is on you to demonstrate how they’re similar. It’s like if someone said, “In what way is a raven different from a writing desk?” They’re so different that it’s virtually impossible to convince of any line of thought that would see them as similar.

                  So when you said, “I’m not trying to be mean but how in practice is this substantially different than Maoism?” you weren’t implying that Trump is a Maoist?

                    Yeah and we’ve gotten down to the fact the only functional difference is stretching towards socialism. So in practice they aren’t functionally different a farmer losing their farm is generally unconcerned about what form of government did it in the long run.
