Did you sign the agreement? Because if you did, you certainly need to disavow it if you want to keep posting the lies in #2261.

I'm seeing a complete evo-meltdown. I will personally be surprised if your peers call you on this. Of course, the rules prohibit them from not calling you on it.

10. Errors When we are wrong about a factual matter or in our conduct, we will acknowledge it. We will encourage others to do the same; and thus we will not acquiesce in improper conduct by those whose views we generally support.


Specfically in these statements:
"So, the ONLY person defending Marx in this thread is YOU!"

"The only person filling this thread with links to communist propaganda is YOU!"

"Instead, why don't you just state WHY you think Marx was correct about the relationship between communism and evolution."


I despise Marx and you know it.
I'm not filling any thread with communist propaganda. I'm giving sources for marxists supporting evolution, which is the discussion, and this was already stated as a valid thing to do by Alamo-Girl when the argument was brought up by js1138 regarding links on websites.
And I never made any such claim that I believed "Marx was correct about the relationship between communism and evolution".

You've also violated this rule:
8. Disclosure We will not bring an accusation against another poster or his beliefs without also bringing, on the same post, the evidence for that accusation.

You made accusations but provided NO evidence in your lying post.

And so you are. No "lies" on my part.

I despise Marx and you know it.

Of course I do, which is why, in the very same post, I explicitly noted that you were not defending marxism as an ideology, or marxism in general, or Marx in general. I carefully noted the one point on which you DO agree with Marx, that evolution supports communism (though you won't say how).

And I never made any such claim that I believed "Marx was correct about the relationship between communism and evolution".

Oh, puh-lease. You may not have put it in that formulation, but you have repeated, for example, the mantra (paraphasing from memory) "how can evolution support conservatism when it supports marxism?" across multiple long threads.

Now, just maybe you don't really believe that Marx was justified in claiming that darwinian evolution somehow supports his historical and economic theories, but you have put forward this suggestion in so many different forms and so persistently that either you DO agree with Marx (on this particular point) or you are willingly putting forward a fallacious or "strawman" argument even though you don't. Until such time as you withdraw this fallacious argument I am certainly entitled to infer that you do agree with Marx (on this point) for this is a clear implication of your arguments (unless they are disengenuous).
