One thing the communists still haven’t grasped:

Communism is low IQ.

No, it is not. They are formidable foes.

“No, it is not. They are formidable foes.”

Didn’t I explain this to you recently?

Intelligence is measured by performance and outcome. Now apply this measure to communism. And there are other measures I will give to you.

I think I know where we differ. I assumed you were referring to the people under communist rule. Instead, you are referring to the ideology or a nation under that government. My understanding of IQ is that it is not applied to ideology but only to problem solving brain work.

There are very smart people in communist countries; but, rarely are those the ones in charge. The brain trust in those countries is subjugated and politics interferes with their progress. Also, efforts are lacking because the smart ones are not allowed to benefit strongly from their work.

“you are referring to the ideology”

Yes.

“There are very smart people in communist countries; but, rarely are those the ones in charge. The brain trust in those countries is subjugated and politics interferes with their progress.”

I agree. In addition, there’s another kind of IQ which is moral intelligence. I believe it has the greatest effect on humanity, and it’s not measured by any standard tests.

Well, we don’t disagree about this. I wonder how many arguments go this way on FR.

I think maybe not too many. Certainly your good attitude has influenced ours.

...Certainly your good attitude...

I have to try really hard because I am quite full of faults. I hope to fall back on all of us being here for similar reasons.

You stayed patient and gentlemanly. That helps as well.
