You see, the comment sections of divisive posts are a place that you can learn about opinions different than your own or to learn new things. If you want, I can go back to the neoliberal echo chambers where people are actually engaged in discussing things in good faith.
If you want to know something you merely have to ask. Maybe explain that you don’t know much about a subject matter.

I don’t have a stance on Trotsky. Maybe you should check who you are responding to before you automatically start “dunking on libs”.
