It totally can through.
When making a request, and generally expecting to be misunderstood, autism can lead to over explaining and very logical detailed expression like this.
I was moderately effective as a salesman with this approach, with some limitations and caveats.

Could just be autism. They overlap in style a lot, especially when making a request like this. A real possibility in this community

Well, I can see this is addressed to a general case but I’ll try a reply anyway.
When I talk about human nature I’m talking about the essential nature of who and what it means to be human.
True, this is always tied to the context and environment. Part that human essentialism is our adaptability, our plasticity.
Had Marx access to the research and theory we have today, I imagine he could have produced a more accurate and refined theory!
As a thousand men can make a thousand shapes with clay their finished product will always be clay, though with a thousand uses.

That comparison is absolutely essential when looking at history and reality, I agree.
If you’re looking at abstract theory, maybe less relevant.
But then, is there any meaningful discussion of political theory in the abstract? Maybe it should always be grounded in real history since that’s the highest quality evidence.
The trouble with theories is they only work theoretically!

I think you can.
I think what happened was exactly what will always happen when people try real communism.
Like any political system it will be brought down by the aspects of human nature it misunderstands or misrepresents.

Indeed. Most people can’t tell their Ausfahrt from their Aushole

Well, if we’re moving to propaganda and personal attacks, I think I’ll leave this conversation here.

Like them keeping their legal system, their own parliament choosing Union and their enthusiastic participation in empire and enjoying the benefits?

Colonialism often involves political shenanigans… Political shenanigans doesn’t make it colonialism!

Not even close to historical fact

Yeah, Scotland and Wales joined up to the Union, they weren’t Colonised.
Ireland is a different story

I suspect you’re unclear on what “Great Britain” means.
- Comment on Humans Were Using Fire Long Before Scientists Thought Possible, Study Says 2 months ago:
ever since the site started to show evidence of our ancestors’ earliest known use of fire back in 2012
I’m now anthropologist, but I’m fairly short use of fire goes back earlier than that.
- Comment on Server randomly locked up. Trying to find out why 6 months ago:
Had this problem for a the last three months. Tested hard drives, memory and everything else.
Turned out to be a PSU with an intermittent issue where it would drop voltage. Very annoying!
- Comment on Do you have any “headcanons” (so to speak) about the Star Trek TNG characters? 1 year ago:
In the episode “The Perfect Mate” Riker gets all teased and worked up by the sexy alien.
He escapes the conversion saying “I’ll be in the holodeck” with a lot of implication!
