Honestly, claiming no true Scotsman fallacy over a semantic disagreement, is a fallacy in itself. I’m not talking about a “truer” or “purer” form of communism which marxist leninists failed to realise, because the definition I’m working with - of communism as a classless, stateless, moneyless society (and the ideas and ideologies branching from that definition) - encompasses far more than that specific ideology. This isn’t even a defence of communism - if anything, I’m pointing out there are other facets of communism that would make for a more interesting discussion than rehashing how bad the soviets were for the millionth time.
Hey, idk all the names people have made up to categorise fallacies, but I do know you misapplied the no true scotsman fallacy over a semantic disagreement, or at least a misunderstanding.

“Honestly, claiming no true Scotsman fallacy over a semantic disagreement, is a fallacy in itself.”
What fallacy is that?

I think you’re just angry that I preempted you with an argument you can’t refute.
I guess it’s easy to convince yourself of that when you haven’t really engaged with what I said, lol
