Democrats are clearly to the left of real Communists yet he insists that I'm a "liar" and his reason is that the Communists in Vietnam and China are no longer real Communists.
Exactly. And they are not. And you know they are not. Which makes your statement a lie.
Therefore, even though Democrats adhere to their failed economic model it is a "lie" for me to say that the Chinese and Vietnamese are really Communists.
Actually, the above contains THREE lies:
1) That Democrats adhere to Communism or ever have;
2) That the economic model Democrats do adhere to has "falied," and
3) That the Chinese and Vietnamese are Communists.
The American left is to the left of real Communists but the "lie" apparently is to refer to them as Communists.
Exactly. I'm not entirely sure I'd agree that the American left is to the left of the current Chinese policies, either, but certainly to call them "real Communists" is a lie.
How's this: the American left is economically to the left of the Vietnamese and Chinese who are Communists except in their new embrace of free markets and entrepreneurship?
That's the exact equivalent of saying that they are "Communists except that they are not Communists."
And you're still a liar.
