What is the hardest question for a Marxist/Communist to answer without scapegoating to the usual responses?
>Have a few friends that are Marxists >I'm the 'weird friend' who 'can't possibly actually believe the shit he says' and 'is probably just memeing all the time'.
Every time I ask them questions that I find to be reasonable they always say something of the following: >race or intelligence isn’t real, stop being anti-scientific >that’s because you can’t conceptualize life without the concept of ‘capital’ >it has to do with class and if they had a living wage and no systemic barriers, they wouldn’t be x, y and z. I’ve read some of their reading recommendations and have tried to gain insight on their perspectives and while learning a lot, it hasn’t changed my controversial political views. As a matter of fact, it was easy to call out some fabricated and disingenuous statements from the older reading material they recommended, as time and the internet have shown light on many propagandist and misleading bad-faith actors within historical literature.
So what would be the best question to ask a Marxist if you could only ask one single question to provoke them to fully contemplate the validity of their ideology?
marx was a racist. marx believed captialism was a necessary step to get to communism

the idea of eliminating capital is as fucking stupid as saying eliminate all calculators and rulers, we will just use our feelings to measure things! i've never met a marxist in my life who wasn't a pretentious, fake faggot

Most brainwashed people speak in slogans, ask them to explain their slogans. Keep pushing for an explanation and they just get angry.
Ask how the USSR collapsed and forbid them to say "that wasn't real communism" laugh at them as they try to explain away all the problems. done.

I've presented them with something similar in the past and there responses were:
>'those letters were likely satirical if you look into the context of his writings' and >'maybe initially, so the time for communism is now. Fascism is just a reaction to late-stage capitalism while keeping the capitalist roots in power. Communism is the true phoenix.'

I've presented this and they claim labor is the proper measurement I don't want to make them angry, but make them truly question themselves. They'd give me a long dissertation about how the USSR fell by CIA OPS or global capitalist sabotage, etc.
This is all shit they can scapegoat without invoking any inner dialogue to break the Yuri Bezmenov tier programming.

>I've presented this and they claim labor is the proper measurement that doesn't even make sense. don't argue with brainlets, just secretly undermine them

>Hardest question for Marxists to answer? Mostly the math and logic related ones
