    You have not, considering everything you’ve said has been easily debunked, and when encountering hard numbers you reflect to dogmatism.

        Dialectical materialism. I look at material reality, analyze it within context and as it changes over time, where it came from and where it’s headed. I am certainly confident in my research, as I’ve done extensive reading on the subject. Your rejection of facts is what points at dogmatism.

          If my criticisms of your reasoning/the facts you provided appears as dogmatism to you, that is not my concern.

            You aren’t critiquing anything, you’re using non-sequitors and metaphysics to try to dodge making actual points, to cover for your dogmatism and chauvanism.

                I bet you would, but as long as you repeat common red-scare myths and insist on viewing history as something metaphysical and not something that progresses over time, you aren’t going to be able to get closer to the truth.

                  I never said history was metaphysical or wasn’t something that progresses. As long as you keep reading things into my statements you’re going to keep responding to arguments I never made.

                    It’s not a direct statement you’ve made, just your insistence on looking at snapshots in time instead of graphs and trajectories. When I suggested you look at what came before, you rejected it, saying you only care about the here and now. This is metaphysics, erasing history from analysis.
