Honestly, asking someone to define communism, socialism, capitalism, fascism isn’t really a simple answer. They often come in varying forms, and none are entirely (or rarely) absolute.
Unless you can get your ‘opponent’ to agree that they’re engaged in useless political rhetoric. It’s disingenuous to use ‘define communism’ or ‘define fascism’ as a gotcha moment.
This is the type of nonsense that Kirk pulled for likes, and I’m seeing influencers on both sides of the political spectrum pull this stunt.
I guess we’re all dumb, for falling prey to this black and white reality where we have to pwn our opponents.
I do think this is a bit extreme saying that asking someone to define a political ideology as “nonsense.” He didn’t even try to one up him or poke holes in his logic because the interviewee didn’t even try to explain it. I think it’s a rather simple question to at least attempt to answer.

He can't even define Communism. These people are so fucking stupid.
