  • Nobody should be patriotic with the genocidal settler colony that is the USA.

  • Genius

  • This is a capitalistic nightmare, just getting people on interviews to give them false hope just to make money from them. This is a scam.

  • It has always been. That flag was used to carry out the genocide of the natives and the murder of millions abroad.

    Critique of Jacobin's Article: Why Kautsky Was Right (and Why You Should Care)

    “Leninists have rarely grappled with these facts, let alone provided a compelling explanation for them. In other words, they have assumed, but not actually demonstrated, that the dual-power / insurrection model of Russia 1917 — a revolution that toppled an autocratic, noncapitalist state, not a parliamentary regime — is relevant for capitalist democracies. Similarly, Post at no point provides any evidence for his assertion that only workers’ councils, not a socialist-led government elected by universal suffrage, are capable of leading a break with capitalism.”

    The October Revolution overthrew the provisional government which was a parliament, although there was already a deep crisis caused by WWI at that point

    Also, Leninists have talked about these facts

    The rise of opportunism in imperialist countries due to the labour aristocracy and the super exploitation of the Third World, the cooption of communist parties in imperialist countries

    On another point:

  • No, I meant a video or article of Mamdani saying this

  • (2) he highlighted USAID involvement in Cuba destablisation

    Do you have the source on this?

  • The Cuban revolution

  • Still ignorant and bad faith arguments that lacks any historical nuance

    The Holodomor happened years before the second world war started

    The USSR was being under constant invasions by the world powers that didn’t want to allow a socialist state to exist. Add to that, that the kulaks sabotaged their own crops to make people revolt and overthrow the socialist government.

    The Great Leap Forward was over a decade after it had ended.

    China was a poor agrarian country which infrastructure was destroyed by Japan. It constantly had famines that killed people even before that. Mao just couldn’t fix the issues that caused famine fast enough for another one not to repeat.

    Literally millions of people starve in Africa due to not having enough money to eat, and due to the privatization of food and fields. That is capitalism. It is insane that you would say otherwise. And even in America lots of people are food insecure. And a capitalist nation Israel has killed like 100k people and a capitalist nation Germany killed 50 Million people.

    Colonization is part of capitalism. Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism and so is fascism

    Begone capitalist bootlicker

  • This is such a bad faith and ignorant argument.

    There were literally famines before Stalin and Mao. And both places were being invaded by other countries, and had their own farmers sabotage the crops to make people raise up against the government. Also, once that was taken care of, nobody ever died of a famine even under Stalin or Mao and let alone after them.

    Lets talk about how Britain purposefully created a famine that killed millions of Irish and Indians, shall we? And how European powers take away food security from Africa, and millions starve to death every year under capitalism.

  • Capitalist bootlicker

  • No, it doesn’t … You have a central authority that makes sure that doesn’t happen or the community makes sure that doesn’t happen like how hippies grow their own food

  • Both liberal and conservatives benefit from inequality. Conservatives are just more vocal about it.

  • Because community gardens always get destroyed ...

  • I am assuming that it is because people see "equality" as the epitome of human fairness, so it is questioning that.

  • Marxism is anti-utopian, it's based on analyzing how societies evolve over time. What is deemed "authoritarianism" is the need for the proletariat to exert its control over the bourgeoisie, rather than the reverse, yet bourgeois rule is more authoritarian.
