CEOs do fuck each other over, but it is unheard of for them to do this by, say, causing their competitor's employees to unionize. There are real and bitter rivalries in the bourgeoisie, but that does not mean they don't know who the real enemies are.

You misunderstand, when someone keeps flailing long after they make it clear they have nothing useful to say, there's not much of a "debate" worth having with them.

Ad hom is if I said "you are stupid, therefore your argument is wrong". Like all genuine fallacies, it is an incorrect inference. I am not making this claim, I am simply saying "you are stupid". Your arguments are paper-thin (like your accusation of me doing an ad hom), so those can be addressed as needed, but my goal there was simply to inform you that you're a moron.

Honestly you don't even need to go that far to make Makhnovists look like a piece of shit. My favorite is to use material admitted by even his most sympathetic ~~apologists~~ biographers and then get accused of repeating Bolshevik lies.

Some could find a few hundred "superior scholars" relative to you at a given middle school.

Nuance is when you try to make it look like Portugal did more slavery than the US when it didn't.

Dude, your last comment was 5 words.

Pure civility

Lmao I don't give a shit how polite you are while whitewashing America's abuse of black people.

If anyone is wondering about what's going on with some of the replies, there was a massively influential biography titled "The Private Life of Chairman Mao" that depicted Mao as basically a Genghis Khan level sexual predator and sold very well in the anglosphere. That it wound up being completely discredited as a sensationalist fabrication even by American neoliberal historians is of no consequence to its legacy among internet reactionaries.

I don't particularly remember making the claim that the US was unique in its use of chattel slavery, though your own source admits

While only 300,000 arrived in the U.S. directly, more came to the present-day U.S. via the intra-American slave trade

And the numbers here are skewed by the US being counted separately from Britain while Portuguese colonies count for Portugal, to say nothing of the fact that most African diaspora slaves in the 13 colonies/US were born there, over 10 million, far more than what Portugal has in your chart.

You're doing Holocaust-denial-level dogshit apologetics for your precious little white supremacy capital.

The lemmy.ml devs encouraged Ledditors to go there and a few other places instead.

Aside from that not being what a mistake is, others have noted that in fact most countries have shown no interest in doing what the US has done, as can be seen from many countries existing for hundreds of years without sanctioning chattel slavery.
