If we argue based just on principles and philosophy, we’re dogmatists.

If we argue based on lived experience of people who lived in socialist countries, we’re nitpicking.

If we argue based on statistics and empirical evidence, we’re using pre-prepped propaganda.

If we argue based on more basic knowledge about communism defeating fascism, we’re oversimplifying history.

So how do you want us to argue? Would you rather the communists just not explain their case at all, McCarthy?
