    Well in that case my daddy was Joseph Stalin’s gardener.

    Since all claims on the internet are true, obviously my arguments are now just as strong as yours.

      Well good for you. What you’re trying to do is an argumentum ab auctoritate. Even if it was true it would give you a heavily biased and schewed information about the real life in comunism because you would have been in the circle of the privileged. The Party “aristocracy” so life probably would have been good and dandy.

      On the internet you can find any kind of information, there are methods to verify the sources and compile coherent streams of information about anything. But this means work and time and it’s easier to find an ecochamber in a “dedicated” forum and feel good about yourself.

      L.E. my arguments are neither strong nor weak. I’ve mentioned their source so you know why I’m stating them. Like I already said your or someone else validation of them is not required.
