So, show me where I shifted those goalposts.You made what could be called an appeal to purity as a way to dismiss relevant criticisms or flaws of your argument.
"Marx, Engels, etc established what is real communism."
"Okay, here's the hellholes the Soviets, the EZLN areas in Mexico, China, North Korea, etc."
