I swear someone did this years back

For me it’s just because it gives me the time to think about what I am trying to communicate.

Wow shocker

Nono, deepseek says, “Sorry, that’s beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else.” Lol

No those people should be jailed lmao. Fuck the US. Defend your sovereignty with everything you have. The USA is your enemy as it has always been the enemy of the world. I don’t care if canadian liberals win, I NEED THE US TO LOSE! In your fight against US imperialism I have solidarity because the US is and always has been the enemy of the people. you don’t need to be perfect victim for me to support you. anything that harms the power of the US is good.

to be clear though I am a tankie or whatever. I do believe Joshua Wong was fighting for something he believed to be “democracy” but this was predicated on western notion of the concept that invited imperialist agression. I genuinely think he thought he was doing the right thing, I just disagree. The Communist Party of China has put immense effort into deterring imperialist meddling in their politics and he undermined this. I don’t consider it shocking that he faced consequences.

I’m no bot, I just really really don’t fuck with the US and I think the entire world would benefit form its nonexistence.

Baby 🥹

here’s him meeting with a US diplomat during the protests. Imagine if a chinese diplomat met with the people organizing the BLM protests or occupy wallstreet? How would the US react?

The look on the cops face actually made me cackle lmao

The best way to treat AI is through Butlerian Jihad

Everyone knows the UK government hates when people make a living

Yeah that’s why the soviets were able to turned an agrarian backwater into one of the largest industrial economies in the world after like 40 years despite being decimated by multiple invasions. They just weren’t productive smh

I think they were saying you aren’t being hard enough of the finnish, not the other way around

Just came here to brag huh

I was entirely aware of the assistance the USSR received from western powers. Doesn’t change the fact the USSR was responsible for 80% of Nazi deaths and sacrificed more than anyone to do so. I am not asking you to respect the state and the representatives within it. I am asking you to respect the millions of people within the Soviet Union who toiled everyday to build a better life for each other and their descendents. I am asking you to respect the people who believed a better world was possible, spent every day working for it, and truly accomplished it without the imperialist plunder western empires engaged in for centuries before they decided workers deserve a smidgin of rights if they promise not to kill their oppressors.

The Soviet Union had market forces starting with the NEP in 1921. It is a legitimate method of building up the productive forces within the dictatorship of the proletariat. It didn’t “bail them out” it was a strategy that communists have used and continue to use to their benefit. Market economies are only “intrinsically superior” if your goal is to industrialize quickly. They are not intrinsically superior if you are trying to immediately provide the best conditions for working people. If your measurement of success is measured by how much stuff you can produce is quickly as possible it is because you have bought in to bourgeois values.

I won’t deny that China made some mistakes that are retrospectively obvious. It is important to note that the obviousness is retrospective and external to the Chinese experience however. This doesn’t change the fact that the Communist Party of China is responsible for one of the greatest poverty alleviation efforts in human history and that this results from their interest in providing for working people as representatives of the proletariat.

I mean it when I say what about your society. If Communism is so inherently awful every time why has it done these things? Why hasn’t Capitalism? If Capitalism is so preferable to Communism why does it rely on the systematic impoverishment of the global south? You often hear the claim that Communism killed 100 million people and this is obviously false when you actually investigate the source (The Black Book of Communism) but say we accept that claim. Let’s say Communism did kill 100 million people. Capitalism is STILL worse. Britain killed at least 100 million if not 160 million in India alone all in the interest of profit. source (seriously read this paper it has a lot more than that in it) That’s one imperialist state out of many in only one of the regions they exploited. This is to say, at the worst most propagandistic estimation of how many people Communism has killed, it still fails to beat the deaths caused by Capitalism in just one region. Sure, some people died because of Communism but lets not sit around pretending its success depends on slaughter like Capitalism does.

I want you to seriously think about Africa for a minute. It’s colonization is a pretty recent thing, only really kicking off in 1884. The states responsible were Capitalist. Marx was dead before the Berlin Conference. Capitalism raped an entire continent. The population of the Congo was reduced by nearly half in only 23 years. CAPITALISM IS A FUCKING DEATH CULT! THE FACT THIS YOU DO NOT LIVE WITH AN UNDYING ANGER FOR IT AND THE PEOPLE WHO ADMINISTER IT RUNS ME UP THE FUCKING WALLS!

I really try not to get mad at liberals online as I think its bad form but holy shit just writing this last part out raised my blood pressure. It sickens me that people like you can act smug online and butcher the history of people who fought for a better world they genuinely believed in because capitalist bloodbaths secure their little treats and semi-comfortable lives. The people of Gaza are being eviscerated and starved to protect your “inherently superior market system”. Iranian schoolgirls were blown to bits and the Cuban people have suffered under siege for decades for your fucking treats. Fuck you

The Soviets took an agrarian backwater where most people were illiterate and didn’t own shoes to space in roughly 40 years. During that sime time they were devastated by WW1, immediately invaded by at least 138,350 troops from 10 different nations who backed their oppressors, suffered from a civil war, dealt with literally constant industrial sabatoge, and were brutally invaded by the Germans. They didn’t just liberate Europe from fascism, the made themselves into an industrial powerhouse at the same time. They had universal literacy, more doctors per capita than anywhere in the world (a title now taken by Cuba), universal healthcare, 3 years of paid maternity leave (eventually), and not just the right to paid vacations but the requirement that they take them. By no means was it wonderful and pleasant all the time for everyone but to simplify their history to “making everyone miserable before they choke on the dust of overwhelming failure and then die” is incredibly disrespectful. With the constant aggression they faced is it any surprise they had to wield authority? It reflects how little you know about socialist history beyond what your bourgeois society has spoonfed you.

China is responsible for lifting 800 million people out of poverty and returning to them the dignity which had been stolen by imperialists. Can you say the same about your government? Is it responsible for reducing poverty or creating it?

Electing more effective administrators of the orphan crushing machine isn’t one of them. Electing administrators who give you a bigger cut of the profits produced by the orphan crushing machine also is not one of them.

I apologize, the way you phrased your comment implied otherwise ❤️

We only differ in that I will personally only vocally support anti-imperialists. I think to do otherwise is harmful. The primary goal of socialists in the imperial core is the destruction of Western (Specifically US) hegemony so that the burdens of our comrades in the global south are lessened.

Until candidates are running on a platform of closing US military bases and cancelling poverty inducing debts imposed upon foreign peoples I won’t be advocating for voting as a genuinely impactful form of political engagement.

I would too but they are legally disqualified from holding office according to Article 6 clause 3 and Article 4 section 4 of the constitution. Yes, you can argue that Republicans also violate these parts of the constitution and they still hold office but this is because they uphold Capitalism and are supported by Capitalists with significant power. I guarantee you these would be used against a genuine Communist candidate because they do not have such powerful support and actively oppose the system that creates that power.

There is also the Communist Control Act which has admittedly been somewhat gutted but I don’t believe for a second there wouldn’t be bipartisan support for bringing it back the moment Communists become a real political threat.

Our efforts would be expediated if people like you joined the cause and supported revolution instead of waiting for it to fall into your lap.

To quote the lovely Mrs. Luxembourg, “It’s not that we fear for socialists the dangers and the difficulties of ministerial activity; we must not back away from any danger or difficulty attached to the post in which we are placed by the interests of the proletariat. But a ministry is not, in general, a field of action for a party of the struggle of the proletarian classes. The character of a bourgeois government isn’t determined by the personal character of its members, but by its organic function in bourgeois society. The government of the modern state is essentially an organization of class domination, the regular functioning of which is one of the conditions of existence of the class state. With the entry of a socialist into the government, and class domination continuing to exist, the bourgeois government doesn’t transform itself into a socialist government, but a socialist transforms himself into a bourgeois minister.” [source]

My goal is to destroy the orphan crushing machine

Candidates do not get elected on the platform of “The American working class needs to violently oppose their oppressors and remove them from power by any means necessary”. Socialists have tried seizing power through parliamentarianism and it hasn’t worked a single time. In fact, in many cases it resulted in the complete abandonment of their principles.
