Being a communist I find that people spend most of their time arguing, not with my platform, but with me about what my platform actually is.

I believe this is because the platform I in fact have, is rather hard to oppose, I mean you know “feed the hungry, house the homeless, penalize those who’ve done grievous injury to their fellow human beings, give everyone the means of existence and then allow them the freedom to do what they wish with it” is a bit difficult to disagree with.
