    How are you making your machine? Does it literally create something from nothing? Why would what it creates have any value if it can be infinitely easily produced, even if important? If it obeys the laws of physics, why would you be able to compete with large, mass scale industry as a single person?

    Your question largely doesn’t make any sense.

        Please elaborate on what you mean, your thought experiment made no sense. And yes, I’m a Communist, correct.

            Seems more like a dodge for you to avoid making an argument, but you do you. Don’t know what you mean by claiming I’m not a Communist, either, who counts as a Communist in your eyes?

                Considering Communism as a Mode of Production refers to a relatively far-future, fully publicly owned global economy, humanity hasn’t reached Communism and thus by your definition nobody has ever been a Communist. This, of course, isn’t true, a Communist is someone who generally follows Communist ideology and wishes to bring about Communism.

                This is just a non-sequitor no true Scotsman, and seems to be deflection.

                    Would you rather me identify as Marxist-Leninist? That’s the specific type of Communist I am.

                    Now that we have presumably gotten through that part, I’m entirely down to talk about whatever it is your machine example is supposed to prove, if you’re willing to elaborate more on what your hypothetical is for.
