That new mix tape was the bomb. Or did it bomb? I'm confused.

You just started reading this sentence and it's already over.

Etymologically speaking, "engine" means any invention, whereas "motor" means specifically something that makes things move. A gasoline engine is a motor; an electric motor is an engine.

This is a personal method for making up words for things; you won't find it in a dictionary. Feel free to use it, though; maybe someday you will!

There's the -dooj suffix, which means "a familiar thing that should be around here somewhere, and that has such-and-so quality." This is useful for asking questions like "Where's the ... the clickydooj?"

  • clickydooj — TV remote
  • stickydooj — roll of masking tape, wad of blue-tack, etc.
  • pokeydooj — sharp tool, digging stick, etc.
  • dogwalkydooj — leash
  • scoopydooj — ice cream scoop
  • pinchydoojes — tongs

(The variant spelling -doodge is also acceptable.)

If you're not on a list, what the fuck have you been doing with your life?

Can you imagine wanting your daughter to spend any time around any of these men?

Yep, so named because it was a heroisch (heroic; strong) painkiller.

I was talking about Maoist and Stalinist dictatorships, not socialism.

"Communism" was the brand name that these dictatorships used for their artificially red-dyed flavor of fascist mass murder. This name was stolen from the original Communists, and falsely & deceptively used by the fascist mass-murderers. Neither Stalin nor Mao had any intention of ever living in a classless society. Like all fascist leaders, they demanded obedience beyond that accorded to feudal kings, and erected new forms of hierarchy and class for their servants to populate — while they murdered the common people in whose name they claimed to rule.

The "dictatorship of the dictator pretending to care about the proletariat" murdered the proletariat by millions.

However, when people today say "Communism" — as in the title of this post — they are often referring to those dictatorships, and not to the earlier Communism of Marx and Engels, whose name the fascists misappropriated.

Hence my response, which distinguished Maoist and Stalinist fascist dictatorships from the theoretical communism of Marx and Engels.

Do not bother making excuses for fascist mass-murderers. There are none.
