  Only if you don’t see the people outside the US empire as people.

  Because as I posited at the beginning of this exchange many people have come to realise that in the west under the current liberal democratic system voting is nothing more than spectical that provides no real avenue for meaningful change. All that being said I am not against voting just that the idea of taking what is under the current system in the west a meaningless action as the be all and end all of who to take seriously is silly.

  I don’t think this meme is even against voting, just against voting for fascists with a D next to their name over fascists with an R.

  Could you name some privileges a Han Chinese person has that I don’t?

  My bad I should have said the beginning of this round of escalation the point remains you genocide enabling racist.

• Post #3325252

  No you voted for biden and compmala who personally oversaw and armed the beginning of the genocide. Why do you not see non white people as human?

  What good are sanctions from a country across a distant ocean I don’t know probably the 800 global military bases around the world, multiple client states and a sanction regime pushed through the UN amounting to an effective medieval style siege of the country. global hegemon. I don’t think you know what this means. I’m sure those NK Migs took only photos and left only memories on their flyovers during the war. Definitely no bombs Definitely equivalent to the global military super...

  You understand so little you would likely have to unlearn effectively everything you “know” to even approach 0 understanding. I’m also finding it a little bit suspicious that Chinese people–whom are propping up the USSR–are replying to me. Fuck you first of all you massively racist fucking loser. You don’t get to be suspicious whitey. For the record, China is still capitalist, Maybe, if you have no fucking idea what capitalism, socialism or communism actually mean. Hell, are Chine...

  I wrote a more direct reply to this, but I have come to realise that in this situation it would most likely be unproductive. You appear to be a very new leftist of some description: you seem to like the idea of socialism or communism, but you do not yet seem to have a firm grasp of what they actually entail. So instead of arguing point by point, I am going to explain what socialism is, why China has been socialist since 1949, and then add some book and article recommendations so you can begin st...

  doesn’t believe in authoritarianism. Authoritarian is a meaningless pejorative. All states/countries/political groups etc. must be authoritarian by necessity in class society. For heaven’s sake, his own guards were scared of him. In fact, he died because he instilled so much fear into them. Major citation needed.

  I was born and raised here. The VPN is for the firewall also they’re not illegal. You people are always so arrogant while being so uninformed it’s amazing.

  Why does it need to be perfect to be good?

• Post #980080

  I didn’t say anything about age limits. My point was about term limits: they reduce voter choice based on an arbitrary claim that they function as some kind of harm-reduction mechanism, which is hard to take seriously given how obviously dysfunctional the American system is. Term limits do not solve elite capture, corruption, or institutional failure; they just act as another inertial mechanism that constrains democratic choice and blocks the kind of massive structural change the U.S. clearly ne...

  Improving lives is generally good. The question is whether people are clear about what they are winning. I was replying in this very thread to someone calling higher minimum wages and taxes on the rich the solution. That is the problem. Measures like that can be worth fighting for, but they are not a solution. They are stopgaps within the same system that created the crisis. That matters because without it people mistake temporary concessions for lasting change. They win reforms, are told th...

• Post #976720

  No that’s not the solution, that’s a stopgap at best. A mild reform. It does nothing to address the core contradictions that drive capitalist crisis.

  Responding to it really did take up most of my posts for a while

  Lol! Wut? The Soviets didn’t form an “anti-Nazi alliance”…they were allied with the Nazis. They made a deal with them to carve up Eastern Europe between their two empires. This was literally the same cynical opportunism that led the Americans to give sanctuary to Nazi scientists after the war. If this means that Liberals are somehow naturally aligned with fascism, in your mind…then so are Communists, by the same criteria. It simply isn’t true, either way. It’s amazing that every comment you p...

  Historical illiteracy and false equivalence.

  I didn’t presume anything I read your replies as you turned yourself inside out whenever anyone had the slightest bad thing to say about America.

  I don’t care about internal US bullishit (we were talking about US wars) but even in that area you’re wilfully ignorant McCarthyism, The deporter in chief, Guantanamo bay. You are clearly a very privileged person with a very loose grasp on history and reality. While we’re on the tipic. Please explain to me how the extermination campaign in Korea (dropping more bombs on half an already small peninsula than were dropped in the Pacific theatre of WW2 as a whole, 1 in 5 to 1 in 4 of the population...

  Thank you. Always glad to hear when people find my comments helpful or interesting. Getting incessant DMS full of waves of bullshit, circular argument etc. from a racist nationalist gets annoying but I think it’s still worth writing up a reply for others to see at least gives it some meaning beyond headbutting a brickwall.

• Post #756901

  You definitely are tapped in and fully aware of the real truth so why dont you educate some of us plebians about communist governments/leaders that clung to power despite being hated in their country. (being hated by gusanos and crackkkers doesn’t count)

• Post #740225

  Ok, I’m going to try lay this out as clearly as I can, because I think you’re mixing up what materialism and idealism actually mean (even if we haven’t used their names to this point it is the core of the argument). The main tool of my analysis is materialism. Put simply: the way people organise production, how they meet their needs, who owns what, who has to sell their labour, this is the foundation. Ideas, culture, politics, they arise from and reflect that material base. They aren’t illusio...

  Technically, it’s built on the idea that a socialist society can be/should be reached gradually by participating in parliamentary liberal political system instead of overthrowing liberal society and implementing a “dictatorship of the proletariat”. You are mixing social democrats with democratic socialists. Democratic socialists, however ineffective or utopian, at least retain socialist aims in theory. Social democrats do not. Their program, accepts the permanence of capitalist property relat...
