I understand that it can be challenging to engage in conversations where you disagree with certain viewpoints. However, ignoring or dismissing someone's arguments without considering their merits may not help foster productive dialogue or mutual understanding. Instead of focusing on labels like "commies" or "free market," let's focus on the specific points being discussed. If you have concerns about privatization, unions, and poll taxes, it would be helpful to discuss these issues in detail, considering both sides of the argument. You might find that there are valid reasons for each perspective, and engaging in a thoughtful conversation can lead to new insights or perspectives.
