Good point. Bear in mind that marxists do not feel obliged to credit Reason when arguing, unless doing so advances their cause. If they lose the argument to logic — which they often do — they ignore the logic and just yell louder, stomp their feet, and burn some cars. Like children, it’s not about doing what’s right or sound; it’s about doing what they WANT to do.
Logic alone is not enough to defeat the Left, but it does serve to expose the paucity of their ideology.
"Look at that SS guard, Moishe! We REALLY exposed the paucity of his ideology!"
Even when a liberal’s argument is shredded with logic, they’ll resort to emotionalism. “Well, I just don’t FEEL the same way you do about that.”
Feelings trump logic with liberals. Just look what’s happening on college campuses with the “safe zones” where the free speech of conservatives is stifled.
Good point. Leftism is all about power. If they can make you submit using arguments, they will use arguments. If arguments don’t work, they will try intimidation. If intimidation doesn’t work, they will try to destroy you, either overtly or covertly.
