Here’s the thread in question btw. The mods left up OP’s comments that had some semblance of effort.
OP claimed putler was trying to bring back the USSR or some shit here lmao. At least OP deleted it.
I don’t think most people on this thread like you very much either lol
I have not seen anyone there advocating for capitalism though?
Damn it’s nice to see the comments are surprisingly evenly split between hating on it and actually being reasonable. Quite a difference from when redditors first moved in here last year.
I guess the more people talk about it, the more people actually visit it for themselves and form their own opinions.
Lemmy.world already exists unfortunately
I do miss some of the subreddits though
Fucking dumbass didn’t even do 2 seconds of googling lmfao
Just as capitalist states are “authoritarian” against working class interests, socialist states are “authoritarian” against capitalist interests.
The state is a tool for one class to oppress another. The goal of (most) communists is to transition from capitalism — where the capitalist class is in power — to a stateless, classless communist society via socialism — where the working class is in power.
Public perception of which is more “authoritarian” therefore depends on which class is currently in power and is able to manufacture consent, and that is the capitalist class in the vast majority of the world right now since the USSR’s overthrow.
It’s defense because the US military industrial complex is “defending” its profit margins by creating instability far enough away that it won’t affect them, but that they can profit off of
in the past
Currently funding and supporting a genocide through the colony in Palestine to keep it subjugated.
I’m guessing you’ll be saying fascist shit like this in the future too when these victims eventually have to immigrate to the regions not destroyed by imperialism — that is, Europe — cuz of this?
two wrongs
What “wrong”? Migrating to stay alive?
Congratulations on learning that present systems exist in the context and foundations of what came before.
And the EU has indeed invaded Libya in the recent past though NATO.
Laws made by those colonizers and invaders?
Wonder why they’re migrating
Perhaps it has something to do with the past few centuries of brutal colonization by western Europe and Japan, the ongoing neocolonialism of the Global South, the coups, sanctions, and invasions by imperial core countries whenever a “former” colony tries to escape this imperialism?
Nah, I’m sure they’re doing it for no reason.
the US facilitated a genocide in my country
Lmao the irony.
Go outside and touch some grass. Sounds like you just want to get mad for no reason.
anytime you mention America
Ah the country literally committing a genocide right now?
When a liberal says they’re a centrist
The centre in question
Certainly not as much as they used to since capitalists overthrew the USSR.
Wild that they let some nazis survive. Hope they at least put them to good use for labor as reparations.
In the capitalist countries they were given cushy leadership positions instead lmao as you’d expect
