What even is your first sentence, that shit literally makes no sense. Oh yeah, I’d rather be able to have access to diverse viewpoints rather than affordable housing or sustinence or a good job lmao

Citing Wikipedia is not the own you think it is.
I’ve had this my whole life for the most stereotypically racist reasons, maybe I should convert to Islam for the shock value?
Omg are you saying there might be tankies???
And you’re the fish
Mfw libs think calling someone a tankie is an insult rather than a compliment 😂
The editor out of Langley, Virginia has the final say lol.
Is this supposed to imply that the users of Lemmygrad believe capitalism is the best system? Lol
While I believe that people had differing opinions (they always do), I find it hard to accept that your anecdotal evidence speaks for all of the Baltic states populations that lived under the USSR.
By reducing everyone’s arguments against you to, “you just read what you did on the internet, I talked to real people therefore my argument is more valid”, the stance that you’re trying to take is not rooted in good faith.
Perhaps being able to cite surveys or census data, or at least some form of statistic, would add some foundation to your argument.
I’m gonna need some higher quality sources than Wikipedia for this one.
Everybody knows that Wikipedia is literally unrefutable fact, especially on controversial or political topics. Why would someone lie or omit facts on the internet??? Next you’re going to tell me that I can’t trust CIA press releases too!!!
At risk of sounding like an armchair analyst, that smoke at the beginning on what seems to the planes course before trouble, looks sus. Maybe SAM went flyswatting.
Looks like a large ball bearing but man, he baby tossed it the second time and it still destroyed the window 🤣
If capitalism inevitably becomes imperialism, then wouldn’t the evolution of communism into something akin to Soviet Russia also be inevitable? Both are extreme worst case scenarios of a decent idea
What are you trying to say here? I think I know what you’re trying to say but it’s weird that you’re narrowing in on the Russian Soviet Republic.
Oh boy! I wonder if the New York Times will do an expose on media and organizations funded by the CIA, US State department and billionaire capitalists who push a narrative that “communism bad, 'murican freedom is real freedom”! Funny how there’s always two sides to a story but NYT didn’t admit their pro-US slant in their article.
On a fun note, JT from the Second Thought Youtube channel has a great video that touches on the iceberg of Why Is There So Much Right-Wing Media?. It’s almost like capitalists buy up media using the wealth they steal from worker and try to promote their interests through said media outlets!
I just watched a great video breaking down Black Panther today from F.D. Signifier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQEWa5R3m4U
Well said comrade. If other instances admins are afraid of having their viewpoints challenged so much so as to defederate, then that’s their prerogative and they’re doing a disservice to their community and users for creating an echo chamber.
Bonus points if a ruling majority party has less than 50% of the populations votes and voter participation is super low so you effectively get 30% (if you’re lucky) of the population making decisions for the rest.
I hate liberal democracy. Long live democratic centralism!
This is a really well sourced, theory based explanation. Cheers for sharing the material, it’s always good to have theory backing up why we hold the ideas.
This is a great example of how this community can be really educationally helpful.
Hmm, voting. I think you need to read up on Left Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder by V.I. Lenin. In fact, even State and Revolution and maybe even What is to be done? (I haven’t completed this one yet).
It seems like you’re rusty on what revolutionary socialism is.
