How’s that Kursk offensive going?

Imperialism is when you intervene to stop ethnic cleansing. If China had invaded “Israel” on October 8 of 2023, every bloodthirsty lib would be calling them imperialists.

I don’t get the point you’re trying to make

Then you’re trying very hard not to get it. Try harder, I believe in you👍

This kind of refusal to engage with reality is why liberals are getting their lunch eaten by fascists in the west and communists in the east. You do not have a serious worldview.

Genuinely, without snark, check out the term comprador

What’s it like in the year 1957?

I have looked into it, and it isn’t obvious

They are not thinking of those places, but it is kind of helpful of you to point out other countries where the US empire has repeated the same strategy

Okay, so DM me when Russia surrenders and I’ll make a big mea culpa post

Is that obvious?

Swedish ruling class looking at Ukraine’s demographic collapse and being like “yes please”

Your transformation into a balding, red-faced cold war boomer wearing a tucked in pocket shirt and screaming about Russian infiltrators is complete. Congratulations, Patriot.

A better word for what? A state?

The bums

Who are “the bums”? Ask a communist, and they’ll tell you it’s the rich capitalists who run everything. Ask a fascist, and they’ll tell you it’s jews and brown people. This is the problem with not having a class analysis, without it you’re permanently stunted at the childhood level of “good guys and bad guys”, with nothing but vibes and latent social prejudices to decide which is which.

The is the fundamental reason communism is not viable. I

China is currently the world power, has lifted over 500 million people out of poverty, and has achieved the fastest increase in average lifespan in human history. The second fastest increase in human history was the establishment of the Soviet Union. As of the last Harvard survey, 95.5% of Chinese people are “satisfied or very satisfied” with their society. To saycommunism isn’t viable is, I’m sorry, cope. Communist Cuba has been strangled by embargo for it’s entire existence and they still invented a cancer vaccine. Incredible things are possible when money and resources go to something other than a handful of rich capitalist pedophiles.

We know the solutions that tend yield best results. They tend to be democracies with a fairly homogenious population and a socialist bent.

“It is known”. And oh look, the old “different races and cultures of people just can’t get along happily” racist brainworm rears it’s ugly head again, along with the implication that communist governments somehow aren’t democratic? The CPC has nine million members, and works by moving proposals up from local councils to national bodies. Meanwhile in our “democracies”, corporations write the laws and it’s legal for them to bribe the handful of legislators, who speak for gerrymandering districts full of disenfranchised people. Don’t forget also that we have the most prisoners and prison slaves of any place on Earth. Last year I watched four riot cops break a college kid’s arm right in front of me for the crime of protesting against Palestinian genocide. I say of “capitalist democracy” what Ghandi said of “western civilization”: sounds great, when do you start?

It shows neither is the way

I will find whoever wrote that line into The Mandalorian and beat them with soap bars like private Pyle.

Just lol

Are you a bot?

Everyone who does not believe my simple nationalist conspiracy answer to the incredibly broad questions of class antagonism and capitalist social decay is simply not a real person: a soothing fairy tale for nascent fascists-in-training.

Censorship is when you get made fun of for saying stupid things on the internet

A Russian agent

this shit reminds me of medieval serfs who would swear that the new, bad king is a puppet of the rival dynasty or the Pope or whatever. This Russian puppet thing was a masterstroke of propaganda, because it gave liberals, who were already American exceptionalists, the perfect excuse to substitute xenophobia for an actual critique of capitalism. Could Trump be a result of and manifestation of a rancid homegrown ideology that arose from the contradictions between the classes? No, he’s being controlled by the bad foreigners. Hell, I bet Hitler was a puppet of Rasputin, and the third reich was all just a Russian plot to weaken Germany .

“Authoritarianism” is not a word that describes any real distinction, it’s a thought-terminating cliche that boils down to “any use of authority the speaker doesn’t like”, similar to how “terrorism” just means “any use of violence the state doesn’t approve of”. In practice, there is no such thing as an non-“authoritarian” government. It’s an oxymoron. Every single government on earth maintains a monopoly on violence and enforces laws with that monopoly. It’s doubly important to use that authority to protect a revolution, because no capitalist order will allow itself to just be voted away without escalating into full-spectrum war, as we’ve seen for over a hundred years, and will require a functioning state to combat. From Engel’s On Aurhority, 1872:

All Socialists are agreed that the political state, and with it political authority, will disappear as a result of the coming social revolution, that is, that public functions will lose their political character and will be transformed into the simple administrative functions of watching over the true interests of society. But the anti-authoritarians demand that the political state be abolished at one stroke, even before the social conditions that gave birth to it have been destroyed. They demand that the first act of the social revolution shall be the abolition of authority. Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon — authoritarian means, if such there be at all; and if the victorious party does not want to have fought in vain, it must maintain this rule by means of the terror which its arms inspire in the reactionists. Would the Paris Commune have lasted a single day if it had not made use of this authority of the armed people against the bourgeois? Should we not, on the contrary, reproach it for not having used it freely enough?

For something.more modern, here’s a sick ass 2 minute Parenti beat that goes over the same thing

Downvote isn’t mine btw, I save that for people who are being hostile

Thank god, you almost had to process an uncomfortable thought

Whataboutism
