Were you were being sarcastic? I am Brazilian and know nothing of the DSA.

I bet you don’t watch conservative right wing media like Fox News, yet you watch CNN, New York Times and other progressive right-wing media.

Poor analogy. The US kills muslim people like they were rats. The secretary of offense is covered in tattoos glorifying the Medieval crusades and wrote a book titled “American Crusade” explaining the US is in a “holy war” agains muslims and China.

So “East Turkestan government in exile” is headquartered in the capital of the empire that is is in a bloodthirsthy fanatical war against muslims. This empire also has “must destroy China” as its foreign policy absolute priority.

Therefore, the corret analogy would be a separatist Jewish movement that wanted to take away a critical part of the USSR. And it is funded and headquartered in Nazi Germany. Who would believe them? The same people who believe the US is motivated by love of Muslims and only reluctantly funds a separatist movement to take away a critical part of China.

False. The US prison population (relative to total population) is more than five times superior to China’s. US prisons are for-profit and lease prisioners to perform slave labor for other companies.

China is not only freer than Trump’s US, it is freer than Obama’s or Clinton’s US.

By the way, US elections have only two viable parties by design. Billionaires control the media and campaing funding. The system allows two choices for the people:

• Republicans: the entire world, including its natural resources and its people, is the private property of 100 persons.
• Democrats: Agreed! But we impose gender quotas on this 100-persons elite. This makes us democratic ™.

The article above is from Brazilian 35 years old marxist-leninist comrade Jones Manoel. He is a tall black man from a slum in the state of Pernambuco. The cop who killed his father worked (security guard) in Jones’ school. He had to see that cop daily. Did not tell his mom, to avoid worrying a solo mother who worked like a horse to feed her children.

Jones graduated in History, then got a MsC and is now getting a PhD.

He recently debated much older Breno Altman, a brilliant communist journalist and member of the Workers Party. Breno, a secular Jew from an influential anti-zionist family, is a major and fierce critic of Zionism. He is under fierce attack by the Zionist lobby. He has been to Israel, and an Israeli politician (a rare humane one) warned him it wouldn’t be “convenient” for him to try visiting Israel again. Breno was also convicted in Brazil (facing possible jail time) for accusing a zionist of being “coward”.

Breno is a rare Brazilian communist who still supports Lula’s government. Breno maintains the current government has an internal dispute between social-liberalism and social-developmentalism. Jones maintains the goverment is just neoliberal. Great debate!

After reading your comment, I have come across this: https://redsails.org/really-existing-fascism

It says:

• Nietzche is to fascism and liberalism what Karl Marx is to communism
• It is confusing to think of fascism as the death rattle of capitalism in decay. Fascism and liberalism coexist. Fascism is based on what Marx called “primitive accumulation”, which is violent expropriation. Liberalism is based on (superficially) voluntary exploitation of surplus-value. Liberalism is more common in the empire core, while fascism is more common in the perifery.

The poor summary above is meant to entice you to read the article. Please do! And then post it on Lemmy for we to discuss. Please message me when you do.

You think the USA is morally superior to the former USSR?

You said liberalism is the ideological superstructure of capitalism, as if it was the only one. But there is also fascism, right? Were you imprecise, or am I missing something?

I was a far-right theocratic (Catholic) lunatic until about 2009. Many factors converged to slowly convert me to communism, but a big factor was indignation against the grave damage (from hateful obscurantism) to my personal life, including mental health and academic performance.
