More like the facade of US democracy, having served it’s purpose, is being disposed of

Genuinely, what point are you trying to make? That Ukraine isn’t run by nazis?

You know how scientists will breed knockout animals, such as mosquitoes, with certain disease-carrying genes “knocked out”, with the idea that they’ll outcompete the natural variant in the wild and deny the pathogen a vector to spread? That’s how I see western marxism. Capital’s intellectual science project of creating a “marxism” incapable of threatening it in the real world, but that they could massively fund to occupy all the niches they wanted to deny to communists. The more explicitly political arm of all that Gloria Steinem, Jackson Pollock type shit. A controlled subculture used to misdirect the revolutionary potential of the many points of struggle at that time, pacifying them into navel-gazing individualism by stoking their intellectual chauvinism on the one hand and invoking the image of the authoritarian bad communist on the other, conditioning the culture to produce Chomskies and Zizeks instead of Lenins and Maos.

I begin with me, the center of the universe.

Now, time to examine the totality of existence one piece at a time and determine whether each piece is Good or Bad

Literally it’s just the crying wojak wearing smug wojak mask every time

DPRK

Right wing

Yeah, nah

In my experience it’s actually the opposite, communists call for critical support of the Russian Federation while liberals bleat about KGB infiltrators.

See what I mean? Brain trapped by capitalist game theory at all times, never more than a fiscal quarter ahead. Is exploitation more rewarding than cooperation? Not at scale. Not in the long run. Look at the diseased, collapsing western empire, this parasitic thing falling to pieces, and look at China, whose relationships with other countries (and it’s own people) are mutually beneficial. They’re the new world power for a reason.

Exploiting people is actually a slow and deadly poison, and our entire society is currently reaping the consequences.

“Oh but don’t blame the entire system of exploitation that punishes you for not being an exploiter, that’s just weird” Brother you are fully lost in the sauce. If this was 1325 you’d be telling me not to blame the king because this is just how things are, this is how God made the world.

You have terminal Marvel movie brain.

Comments like this make it painfully obvious that someone has not engaged with the actual history, because guess who agreed with you that lip service is not enough? The communists. Life expectancy, infant mortality, nutrition, medical outcomes, literacy, addiction rates, poverty, all of this shit immediately improves drastically in every time and place communists have ever seized power. Often these improvements have come despite nightmarish wartime conditions, such as during the Chinese Revolution when life expectancy shot up despite being in active combat with Imperial Japan after 20 years of civil war. The people of Cuba have created one of the most advanced medical systems on earth despite sixty years of strangulation. The people of the USSR risked their safety to send weapons to uprisings across the world despite needing every bullet themselves for the near century of fascist invasion and expansion that ultimately took thirty million of their lives.

The idea that communists are secretly only pretending to care about other people is the single biggest piece of capitalist projection, and the one most foundational to holding up other myths about communists. Every abuser in history has said all the same things the white empire drills into our heads: this is just how the world is, everyone else is just like me or worse, so there’s no point in looking for better. But in reality, Cuba has no Gates Foundation. Laos has no Mr Beast. Our economic system is the one set up to reward and incentivize exploiting people you pretend to care about, not theirs. To look around at the very specific, grotesque circumstances created by capitalism and attribute it to some universal axiom of human society is what having an imagination trapped by capitalist “realism” looks like.

This attitude of “well everyone is shit” is one of the last layers of refuge before you get to the truth: that we, westerners raised in a culture of advanced imperialism, are specifically and deeply sick, that we have forcibly exported this sickness across our planet and we desperately need drastic mass change and healing before it kills us all.

Alan Turing invented computing and helped defeat the nazis, but Britain still chemically castrated him for being gay. This is the baseline of government interference you’ve been raised to believe is normal or at least explainable, and you are attacking a country whose human rights record is way, way better than that.

You’re right it’s way more cruel and arbitrary

Ask Lybia, slavery lover.

This is what you guys say to justify every unjustifiable atrocity. This is what you said about the Ukranian drone swarm attack on that boarding school. Pretty soon you’ll just be saying it under footage of an actual massacre.

This is a very weird and defensive reaction to a country reopening it’s nightmarish post-1991 collapse flesh markets

“Oh I was just disagreeing” no you weren’t you were equivocating the two like a dumbass and now you’re pretending you weren’t because even you can see it’s a stupid equivalence to draw.

Stalin was the single champion of Khorne in charge of the Soviet Union but at the same time was powerless to stop the massive quality of life improvements resulting from the government policies ordered by…somebody?

Iran calls bluff of “collective defense”, begins peeling away US vassals

I remember the period when that number reached 3,000 and it was literally 9/11 every day. It might seem like a silly comparison, but seeing how one was immediately turned into a grotesque, maudlin display of narcissistic injury by our government to justify attocities while the other, way worse one was just inflicted on us by those same people as a matter of course. Really made me understand the reality, how some lives are valued while billions are written off. All those Palestinians are just an abstract statistic, but we must stop the world in its tracks to mourn Bryan Thompson and Charlie Kirk. It’s kind of like what this person is doing actually. “Sure my idea of normalcy floats atop an ocean of blood that i refuse to acknowledge, but the people who stepped up to change that fact committed the unforgivable crime of making the butchers bleed!”

Your defense of them is what, that they were simply following orders?
