Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Most people have a vague “the government tells you what to do in every aspect of life” sense of communism, and think socialism is like decaffeinated

Yet they are completely oblivious to the fact that this government is telling everyone else what to and not to do in every aspect of their life...while robbing taxpayers blind

It's like the old "every conservative accusation is a confession" thing.

When they say "the communists want to make you work in a factory for 12 hours a day with no pay", that's what they want to do.
