I wonder if it’s calling communists ‘commies’ that some may take offense to.
To my ear, this is sort of a slur in that I’ve only really ever heard it when some army guy is shouting ‘god damn commies’ or the like.
Just a disclaimer, I don’t have particularly strong feelings for either a communist or capatalist structure. I think shitty people tend to gather power so most of us are just taken advantage of in either scenario.
I am sorry if my title was perceived in that manner. My first language is not English, therefore I have some difficulty expressing my thoughts at times.
Some of my students are communists and have referred to themselves as “commies”. I was simply under the impression that this is a colloquium. Nonetheless, I thank you for your advice and trust that you keep well.
Sorry if I came across that way my friend.
I am a neutral observer and was just surprised. Wish you all the best in your endeavours. Keep well.
Surprisingly wholesome conclusion to this thread. Not enough discourse like this online :)
