    You’re not helping them long term which was the point of the Sankara quote.

    It forces these countries to be dependent on food aid rather than self sufficient which means that if they try to go even somewhat against neoliberalism and actually raise the living standards and wages of their people the US then pulls the aid (as well as likely aiding armed groups to kill the leadership) in order to force the government out and installing comprador regimes in its place.




















  • Yeah if you’re getting very into the weeds on it Is there some minor difference between how that classless/stateless society operates?

    Sure but most of the difference in analysis and conclusions is on how to arrive at the classless/stateless society.

    The differences between the vision of classless/stateless societies communists and anarchists have is minor compared to pretty much any other broad 2 political ideologies have as what visions of the perfect society is.


  • Cuba has sent doctors and other medical support to countries of many different ideologies. They would 100% assist an anarchist group if asked and it’s something they could provide.

    Currently China and Vietnam are both willing to trade with countries of any ideology.

    You’re latching on to a couple examples in the past and saying nothing else can happen besides that. If that’s going to be the extent of your argument no point in continuing this since there’s nothing left to talk about then.


  • There’s some historical examples where that may have been the case but that’s not some universal constant that can’t be changed.

    Fundamentally they both want the same thing in the end so disagreements on how you get there can be resolved. If 2 different areas/groups try 2 different paths there’s no reason they can’t work together where mutually beneficial.

    Would people have to get over being too overly dogmatic about their way? Yes and that may be difficult but not impossible.
