    This is how all human communication works.

    No that is how miscommunication works. If you project meaning that isn’t there into other peoples words you are deluding yourself. You can’t read peoples minds. Whatever you think people might mean is just your own ideas.

    If you really think what is written means whatever you want it to, you don’t deserve to have the word communism in your username. That is the mindset that breeds revisionism like “marx didn’t mean violent revolution he meant a gradual revolution in thinking and morality.”

      It absolutely is how all communication works. People do not ever speak perfectly literally, and you always must imply some meanings in people’s words. If you think otherwise, it’s because you’ve never thought about it.

      This is a very basic linguistic concept.

        For someone going on about having to understand other peoples words you sure dont read mine.

        If you project meaning that isn’t there into other peoples words.

        There is a difference between deciphering what a person means based on the words they used and just deciding they mean something more than they have said.
