  I definitely didn’t think Russia was going to have invade Ukraine. I fell for that one and I probably would again, and I recognize that.

  Scientific socialists should be aware of their biases and try to control for them, not just assume our superior political theories make us immune to being tricked.

    Hey, i really appreciate that you acknowledge that. I also didnt think hed to that, i thought him more strategically minded.

    I just loathe fellow comrades pretending that they are somehow superior beings for being socialist. Or falling for the propaganda of either anarchist socialists or state communists, believing that a regime cannot do anything wrong just because they adhere to a certain ideology. I too fall for this trap.
