just a form of ideologically flavored ad hominem?
Ridiculous statement for someone who incessantly calls the most predominant socialist tendency on earth a "religion."
Edit: also lmao poli sci and economics degree
"Excuse me, the only real socialists are people with professional level liberal ideological education"
The USSR was also destroyed by encirclement and (nearly 100 years) of pressure from reactionaries.
But again, you and and the people on the comm you named after yourself are the ones hypocritically positing that any socialist project that fails is evidence that that project's ideology inevitably leads to capitalist takeover. None of the "tankies" on Hexbear are saying that because it's asinine, but if you actually believe it, to be ideologically consistent, would require condemning anarchism also.
Deeply unserious
