Boo, the audience was enjoying the illusion of intellectual discourse you were laying and how deftly it was peeled back!
Why did you give up so soon and play the hypocrisy of the "Good faith" card? You could have continued helping the cause of leftism by continuing to be the perfect verbal sparring dummy. The think tank needs new material mate.
The think tank has forgotten how to argue with the actual left because the US democratic party is what people view as socialism. They don't even think about you anymore because people who study history know how flawed the forcible elimination of property rights is at a conceptual and functional level.
There is nothing inherently anti-capitalist about voluntary communes or coops as long as it remain voluntary, small-scale (To ensure choice), and deferent to the rules of fair play.
The good faith card was because I had already addressed Cowbee's points in my language. They were not reading my language. Ignoring their comment would be actually moving goalposts.
