Even if you are ideological enemies with someone, there's something you can agree on. I want these people to at least understand how I see the world as somebody who finds the Austrian school to be correct and as an anarcho-capitalist/voluntaryist. And I want them to share what the foundation of their views are so I can see the world through their lense. Although I have been a commmunist in the past, I still meet communists that think in a different way from me in the past.
That's why I try to talk economics to socialists and communists. Economics is a science, it's about looking at cause and effect without saying if it's good or bad. It's just a description of how the world works. I believe we should agree on economics before we proceed to discuss political means and ends.
I don't want to be disrespectful to socialists, communists, social democrats, minarchists, constitutionalists and other people of ideologies different to mine. I want to have a polite conversation even though I can disagree with them on a whole lot of things. I want to have a productive exchange of ideas.
And it's bad that I'm too emotional in these exchanges sometimes. It can make people think that I label them as morally bad, although it's mostly not true. I do believe that socialists and communists want to make the world a better place, it's just that I am convinced that they've chosen the wrong means to achieve this better world. Or maybe their idea of the better world isn't really something they would be happy about if achieved.
Anyway, sorry to all the people who I have called names.
Some people have deserved me calling them names, but if they want to have a "peace treaty", then I'm open to it. However, some of them owe me an apology first.
