Classic thought-terminating cliché. Any critique of capitalism is communism, and communism invariably entails Maoist crackdowns or what-have-you; therefore it's best to "immunize" oneself even against basic critiques of capitalism because they're just a slippery slope to the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

I'm afraid you've immunized yourself against even reading the posts you reply to.
