Communism has resulted in the deaths of untold millions of people so why would anyone try to promote it as something positive.

You are more adept at missing the point of posts than anyone else here.

But since you exposed us to your ignorance I will correct you yet again in that communism as espoused by Marx has never been enacted because none of those cultures ever reached the late capitalism stage that would have provided the necessary conditions for communism to be successful. I'll stop there as I have serious doubts as to whether you'll be able to grasp even that single basic concept.

@Qwent-91 No, I don't concede any of those assertions, especially those where you have drawn unsupported conclusions. Produce your supporting evidence for each claim and in future take note that the evidence is usually provided at the time the claim is made.

@Qwent-91 You made numerous factual claims but supported none of them with evidence. Failing to do so will garner you even less credibility than you already have.

@Qwent-91 I bet you're THAT guy who thinks he's the smartest person in every room. Oh boy, are you gonna get kicked around here and I can hardly wait!

Facebook, as viewed on my Android phone, no longer displays correctly. Ever since it had a "modernisation", the full text of posts fails to show, at either the bottom or the right of the screen.
Therefore, I'm hardly ever using it, especially since I'm getting more and more useless adverts pushed into my feed.

Given that the people who posted it were a group named "In Defense of Communism" (which is what IDCommunism stands for) it seems clear that it wasn't satire. Add to it that they believe Holodomor was a myth, and their pro-Soviet stance is clear, so in this instance, Facebook seems to have performed according to the rules it set out. It's understood that there are very few mainstream social media sites which allow completely unfettered speech.

There are many reasons people have chosen to not use/delete their Facebook accounts so it's interesting that this is the one you chose to focus on.

@Gwendolyn2018 Thanks for the heads up. I noticed he's also posted this in another feed, so he's quite focused on this.

@Gwendolyn2018, @Qwent-91 You keep throwing out statements without supportive data, and the one source you used is from an extremist one. Facebook has it's quirks, but they're attempting to limit patently untrue information, as well as violence. Granted, they didn't put the energy into programming their bots that was needed, and utilized a live workforce of non-English speakers who have difficulty understanding the nuances of English so punishments have been erratic and irrational.

Here's a more unbiased source explaining how the impression of conservative and liberal content is often based on our own echo chamber within Facebook:

@Gwendolyn2018 I quite agree! The surefire way to get me to do something is to tell me not to do it, and vice verse. I've been known to cut off my nose to spite my face, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I guess either we'll get him to consider his posts more thoughtfully, or he'll just get frustrated with us. Interesting either way. 🙂

@Qwent-91 Oh wow, your dazzling debating skills and masterful manner of communicating have just overwhelmed me into meek submission.

I gave you a cohesive, thoughtful response. You answered with random links to every anti-Facebook article you came across with no consistent theme other than a criticism of Facebook, and insults towards me. Actually, you came on to this site with seemingly no other interest than trashing Facebook which is curious. Here's news: we're here because we know what Facebook is, and we either use it or don't use it based on our own priorities. We're giving you the opportunity to discuss your opinion, not to stop using Facebook because you have demanded we do so.

So I guess in answer to your questions, you rude, mouthy asshole, no I wasn't willing to shut up. If you don't want a discussion, then don't open a conversational thread to the group.

@Qwent-91 Dude. You know nothing about me. Being verbally abusive is no more prevalent in neurodivergents than in neurotypicals, so opting for a martyr complex is a pretty weak response in lieue of actually communicating.

People on this thread are really trying to make a connection with you, and you persistently ignore them and opt to be a troll. Pity.

@Qwent-91 Okay, I'm good with that.

@Qwent-91 Sooooo, @Quent-91, you use your disability to bludgeon others and play "Gotcha" with them? How charming..........

This link gave me a trojan warning on my malware... so I don't even know what it says. Then again, I don't really care either.

@Qwent-91 Both FB and Twitter are going the extreme opposite direction as far as content moderation from where they were in 2020. Lkely it's to do with corporate cowardice as much as anything; knowing the House Republicans are planning all sorts of Benghazi-style waste-of-time "investigations" (in quotes, because it's nothing to do with learning anything, all to do with scoring propaganda points), they are anxiously turning their backs on fact-checking and controlling the right-wing falsehoods, thereby appeasing people like Green and McCarthy. Twitter is its own special case, of course, with Elon Musk being ideologically committed to "free speech" (except when he doesn't like the speech). The same goes for Trump Social (which is not Truth, it's just Trump). Ironically they are more into censorship than the sites they have accused of it.

There's nothing in the post to indicate that it was intended as satire.
