    You know, one of the most outrageous things about communism to me is that every communist government you’ve ever heard of goes through this insane phase where they try to apply Marxist theory to plant biology and it just doesn’t work. Like, you know your theory, good work, but that doesn’t mean that you can use Marxist theory to work out orbital periods or protein structures. Get against the wall comrade wheat, you’re being charged with anti-revolutionary crimes.

      It is the nature of anything where whether you’re correct is determined by whether you agree with the man with the gun, instead of whether you can convince other people by talking it out with them and people are allowed to disagree.
