I don't remember you at all, if I'm being honest. I apologize if I was acting obnoxious, but I talk to many people and don't remember them all.
Secondly, I am a Marxist-Leninist, yes, but not a dogmatist. Dogma necessarily implies a rigid and inflexible understanding, not simply an agreement with a frame of analysis. Otherwise, nearly everyone would be a "dogmatist" for saying the Earth is round against the Flat Earthers.
Using phrasing such as "necessarily implies" is exactly what makes me call your conversation style "lecturing".
Is it normal to talk like this in your circles? In my culture it's a certain way to antagonize anyone who doesn't already agree with you.
I feel like that's just nitpicking, though. I'm a statesian, not everyone uses it but some do.
