    Your initial comment:

    “There is no equivalent data for the second image, because ‘communism has never been tried.’”

    1. This is an Anarchist meme, as we’ve proven

    2. Nobody here has said thay Communism hasn’t been tried

    3. The only thing leftists generally say is that the USSR never reached Communism

    4. Anarchists love to point to Revolutionary Catalonia as a good example of Anarcho-Communism, and wouldn’t say it hadn’t been tried

    Conclusion: you’re arguing with ghosts that don’t exist here for no other reason than to generally be anti-leftist.

      Yeah why would a joke concern a related topic instead of absolutely precisely exactly what’s right there in the text, and by in-the-text I mean the fact there’s no text?

      Nobody ever jokes about things unless they’re categorically opposed.

      Obviously a meme community should be deadly serious, for scholarly discourse, and also nuh-uh nobody oversteps your position or misuses your rhetoric, never ever. A ghost did it!

      Yeesh.

        It’s not related, it was just a poor, incorrect jab at leftism on a leftist community, rather than something relevant. It wasn’t even funny, so that doesn’t save it either.
