    And above all jump down the throat of anyone who doesn’t enunciate a point perfectly, it should be our goal to discourage engagement as much as possible /s

        That’s a big stretch for a fucking tense. And when correcting is necessary, it should be done in such a way that actually strengthens the foundation of the point, assuming you agree with the goal. Otherwise what you’re trying to build will never come to fruition.

          correcting is necessary, it should be done in such a way that actually strengthens the foundation of the point

          Which is what I did when I suggested replacing “ability” with “potential”.

          And frankly, I don’t think that point needs to be strengthened right now. I don’t think abandoning money is a valuable goal at this point in time. Once again, money is not the problem, greed and corruption are the problem. Getting rid of money doesn’t solve the problem, it just shuffles and transforms it.

          Abandoning money is a goal for the road from socialism to communism, not the road from fascism to socialism. Flooding the dialogue with ill-timed calls to action is more dilutive to building change than critical analysis.

            Your verbose tear down of my use of “ability” seemed like an attack on the concept itself, especially when you combined it with attacking the concept itself. That’s also not where you started.

            I do think money is the problem. Maybe love of money is more pressing at this time, but if we don’t keep the goal of eliminating money in mind, I don’t think we’ll get anywhere substantially different from where we’re at. But I’m willing to agree to disagree on that point for the time being.

            I did not flood the dialog, I made no call to action, and I would’ve preferred critical analysis of the problems of money over talking about tense. If you want to have debates instead of arguments, I suggest examining your approach.
